As im counting the minutes til the E91 arrives,

i thought id clean the Mrs runabout/company development vehicle...























Weve recently added a CRD system too, and tbh its a flying machine, expecting 220+bhp from the new Audi Common Rail 2.0TDI 170PS



Once we've rolling roaded it i'll post the results

I'm sure the banner is still moving, as it's only just been put in place

Do the 170 BHP TDi engines still have big problems with the DPF failing?

She wasnt over impressed with it at 170bhp as her own car is a 300bhp Astra VXR, not its been tuned shes a lot happier as its certainly a lot quicker.. Probably a touch quicker mid range than a 240 (standard) bhp Astra VXR..

Hi Will,

I know that many tuners had serious problems with the 2.0PD 170PS, weve tuned approx 12 vehicles including A4/A6 and TT's using the new VAG common rail TDI engine in both 143 and 170 guises, and uptil now weve had no issues regarding DPF's

As this is going to be a popular choice of engine, and the Leon was a steal on contract hire, it makes an ideal pool/promotional car/kiddy carrier plus gives us a tool to bost test and evaluate systems
