Hello Together I’m itchy that the feeling can fool you sooo: My brother bought a 1.9l TDI with 130hp (Bj 01). I’m still NEVER with such a strong diesel. Does the gas really push you into the seat. That’s really fascinating. He’s had it for 2 months, no idea if the series is or if the one has a chip!? The salesman said it was all original. But without ASR he still goes crazy when it’s raining in the second gear! No matter. is now in the garage and as replacement got a 2.0l FSI with 150hp. He complained, he does not move at all and his is 100% viiiel faster from 0-100. I drove with the, and really, compared to the TDI there is nothing… On the Internet, and see there: FSI: 9.1s from 0-100 TDI: 9.5s from 0-100 Why is this so? Sure, torque of the TDI is much bigger, also thanks to Turbo. But pure of “press into the seat” I would appreciate that the TDI is certainly 2 sec faster than s the FSI! Have you already made these experiences? Is that really so, or is my brother’s TDI possibly with a chip? Greetings from Switzerland

Hi All and thanks for the help, I bought a parking disc at Ebay last week, which rotates itself, with a small clockwork in the back. Now it is the case that I did not worry so much. I park every day for a few hours in a side street of my university itself is always a lot of space, but you can only park there for 3 hours. Normally it is no problem to go there during the break, to turn the parking disc further and Now I thought to myself, I save it and use this parking disc without putting it on a stop. I just looked in the net what could happen to me. I only read something of nevertheless a roll… but also a little gelsen von towt… What do you think of the things, is the risk too big? Are there jemadnen of you, who still uses such a part of the stuff…? Thanks again for the information and a nice Monday! Just discovered this:h ttp://www.motor-talk.de/t144766/s/thread.html nevertheless my question: Does any of you use the thing? Or rather leave your hands off

Hey, friends of the four rings! Since it is now high time for the last of us to put on the summer tires, the question arises for me about the profile depth. I stored all four summer tires at the friendly and still 3 mm, 3 mm, 3 mm, 3.5 mm profile on it. Now to my question. I come with it still 6 – 7 months over the laps (running performance about 9000 km). My car has alla wheel drive, that would have to have a positive effect as well, right? Even if only slightly. When the tyres are placed in storage, you can see a note on which it is written that the profile depth of 3 mm (for summer tyres) and 4 mm (for winter tyres) does not fall below. If this is binding, can it happen that the dealer refuses to pull up these tyres again? Finally, 1.6 mm are required by law. What do you think, at what profile depth do you attach new flaps? And one more thing, you can flat-rate the distance within which one millim eter departs – with a humane, non-ripe driving style. (summer and winter tyres). Does the vehicle weight and the hardness of the tire also depend on sure. Drive a Pirelli P 6000. Can you help me? MfG Mimichel

Hi together, a few days ago I got a boulder in the WS on the track. Result : Deep crater with small cracks running away from it. Yesterday it rained, since the cracks have become about 10cm long. So disk has to be changed ASAP. Have 150 EUR SB TK, and Carglass currently makes here nearby (maybe someone interested : On the parking lot of the TOOM in FFM-Rödelheim, where also McD and Metro are) ne action – if you agree on an appointment on site, about The only question is whether they actually use the same material as Audi? That the boys are better in terms of technology, i.e. the installation technology, than any friendly one, should be left out of the question, they don’t do anything else all day long. Do you have a light sensor – and I’m just not sure if the quality of the material is the same as the friendly one? Carglass says yes. Weiss jema And advice? Thx! Kringel

Should one actually let a TDi run after the end of the journey for a moment to avoid a heat build-up in the turbocharger?

Air Pollution: Cigarettes Ten times worse than modern diesel engines Researchers from the Cancer Institute in Milan have discovered in an experiment that cigarette smoke pollutes the air ten times as badly as the exhaust gases of a modern diesel engine. The researchers started the experiment in the Italian Alps because there is very little fine dust in the air. In a garage a diesel engine was first run for 30 minutes and then three cars were burned. The evaluation of the results showed that the concentration of particulate matter in the smoke of cigarettes was ten times higher than in the diesel engine. Since cigarette smoke is very short-lived, it is mainly a pity for the closer environment, the researchers explained.

I hope to pick up something completely new with this thread. The thoughts that I’m going to take over on it because of new radio, Tft etc. How easy can you get into the A3? When I return to my Polo 6N back then, they were quite firmly in there, you need – did the policeman say – just press the lock in the right direction with a wrench then the door jumps up. At my Peugeot 206 Tendance they have the so-called Rus right in front of my front door. I hope that the lock on the A3 won’t work, and maybe the doors are a little more stable? How are your experiences? And before someone thinks in the wrong direction, I don’t want to open an A3 so I don’t want to open a detailed public route, but I want the opposite. Pepe

Hello, I’m not sure if the topic fits in here or not; if not, the moderators will be happy to postpone it. Now to the problem: a colleague of mine is a workshop master in a VW/Audi workshop and has recently seen some TDI engines with cracked pistons; what should be known is a capital engine damage. The problem so far occurred with 1.9 TDI models and the 2.5l V6 models (180 hp) (always Audi models; therefore the question here and not in the VW compartment) How it makes itself noticeable: no performance; foaming of the oil (since gas pressure escapes into the crankcase etc. etc.) Also bad: many workshops find the error only after expensive exchange of other parts what the repair for the owners still considerably more expensive!! Now my question since it is not so knowledgeable with the PC: is it a coincidence that especially at the workshop of my colleague the piston cracks in driving performances pile up by 150,000 km or is there often?? No discussion whether the TDIs are stable or not; I just want to know if something like this is more common and if other people/drivers/workshop employees are also known!

Hello people, also at the risk that I will not like myself now, I could not find an off-topic forum. A topic that is certainly not only important to me: protection of the non-smokers in Germany. Without wanting to polarize now, here my apell to you: Take part, only takes seconds. Deadline is unfortunately already today…http://itc.napier.ac.uk/…/view_petition.asp?PetitionID=88
