Audi A4 B7 avant 2.0 tfsi

[Ocrlew]

Thought I’d make a progress thread for this as I plan on keeping it longer than 6 months unlike all my previous car.

So to the car, yeah it’s 14 years old few dents and scratches but the paintwork it’s stilk in really good condition.
It’s the 2.0 tfsi so same engine as golf gti. Petrol VRS etc

Just over 106k and good service history folder full of paperwork. Also got 6month Warrenty with it thrown in from the dealer I got it from

Far as I’m aware mechinally totally standard, alloys and wing mirror caps are only “mods” that’s happened.

So far I’ve had the change a breathe pipe as it was leaking air.

Plans for this are;
Change coolent temp sensor- got a fault cold for this intermittent signal
Pcv delete
Change diverter valve - not sure if go up rated or just standard newer valve
Panel filter

Tempted mods - waiting to see if any come up second hand as being tight lol
Exhaust
Sport cat
034 motorsport bits - like intake pipe etc
Remap - maybe revo
R8 coils

And maybe more once I look to see what else is out there.

Looks very clean mate

 

[JB21]

Decent mate, these engines really need a remap to bring them alive though. R-Tech are very reputable and cheap for the TFSI. Also if doing the lower coolant temp sensor you should really do the thermostat at the same time, upper coolant sensor is easy.

 

[Darren61]

Love an estate and will be watching progress on this..

Wheels need to be silver though

Ahh thanks for advice, il look into R-tech for the map then.

Best get ordering more parts then haha! Not sure which coolent temp is erroring, just get intermittent reading fault

I wasn’t sure, I’m tempted to change everything to full black lol

Don't think VCDS differentiates which sensor so I'd change the upper first to see if it sorts it, if not you know it's the lower and do the thermostat at the same time. If doing it yourself I can help with how to go about it as I've done it twice now ?

 

[Jack!]

The gap around the front of the bonnet shut?

Yeah will be doing it myself this weekend, any help be great haha. Il try top one then first. I think the engine in these is in different direction to yours tho as it’s in it side so to speak

 

[Ocrlew]

Yeah it is they all have a gap like this. It’s like a overhang tbink

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

I wasn’t sure, I’m tempted to change everything to full black lol

Good grief no.

Silver, de badge and I'd probably put the mirrors back to standard as it's pretending to be an S4.. however those chrome caps go nicely with the rest of the chrome, against the black.

What are these standard ? ~200 I think ?

See if you can wind the bump stops in a couple of turns and it might help reduce that bonnet gap...

That should make it easier then mate if there's space to get your hands down there? This is the temp sensor I used.

Pardon our interruption...

Cheers for help will give that a try.
Haha tempted drug dealer spec, I think I will change wheels to silver or by a summer set as the tyres aren’t best make, so il see what come up for sale .

Yeah 200 standard so not too bad but as heavy does feel little sluggish

 

[Ocrlew]

Yea

Sort off as it’s under the cat gets in it ways I think for lower one.

Yeah that’s the one already order

Looks a whole lot easier than mine being side mounted.

[Ocrlew]

New bits on the way for this.

Forge pcv delete, pipercross panel filter and the coolant sensor.

Should get this fitted this weekend.

Also awaiting a reply for an exhaust,

 

[JezzaMac]

Looks nice! I just got one of these as well!

I’m on the hunt for an exhaust as well as I think mine blowing a bit. Want to get an exhaust and a remap at the same time as it’s slightly “bland” just now!

 

[leeds_182]

Love the shape but that rear badging needs to go. Everyone will be listening for a V8 and will be sadly disappointed.

Yeah that’s my aim but got any wedding this year so sneaking away that money is going to be hard lol. Yeah deffo bland as Second gear pull is good, then third just doesn’t seem to have as good pull

 

[Ocrlew]

So got done a few bits today. Decided to do more than I thought so oil change and filter too

Fitted the pcv delete also! And what a difference it has made! Engine is a lot quieter now! Feels bit more lively too!

Also splashed out on an ultragauge. Great little bit of kit! Shame as this is an old car doesn’t have all the sensors in place to get the best out of it! But happy with it as can see warning codes etc

Just awaiting my air filter! Bought it Wednesday and still not turned up! So but annoyed but least it’s a quick job to change.

Now all I’m wanting to do is changed the cam follower (ordered it now) and also change the diverter valve. Think I’m going to go for the gfb diverter upgrade. But il have to wait till next payday for that!

Oh and also taking the badge off at the back as! Soo once it’s stopped raining I’m polish it up

 

[Ocrlew]

And for you badgeless people ?

 

[Ocrlew]

Sorted couple more little things today like the N80 valve and other fluid top ups!

Missed out on a DV+ diverter value

Gave it a good clean also!

It’s booked in next week to make it louder ??

 

[Ocrlew]

Had the mid resonator chopped off and it’s make a little bit of difference, which is good. But maybe want it louder haha.

So currently winning bidder on a decat!

Still not sure whether to get it remapped or not!

And insurance time had come round so need to get quotes!

 

[JB21]

Defo get it mapped mate, the 200ps TFSI really needs it IMO. Mine still gets a real world 33mpg as well, that's in loads of rush hour motorway traffic with an average speed per tank of 30mph. Ive seen real world 40mpg when travelling in flowing traffic.

Did you get it done by rtech? Or revo? As looking at rtech, if I get a decat they’re saying it be stage 2 and I need like new fuel pump, fmc etc so be loss more

Plus the price difference, I know rtech custom map where revo isn’t

 

[Rojer]

I would go to rtech, they know these engines very well.

 

[JB21]

Mine is Shark mapped. They aren't trading anymore.

Defo go R-Tech as Revo and APR are extortionate. See below on requirements for R-tech:

@Strell2 I may have a Revo induction kit for sale in the coming weeks but would need your OE airbox in trade plus a few quid my way. I would also have Bilstein B12's with new top mounts but again would need your old springs, dampers and top mounts in trade plus a few quid my way.

Could even fit them all for a small fee.

I don’t think they would fit (induction kit) as mines a longitudinal engine.

Think il have to go to rtech then ?

Does that kit fit the 8J TTS?

It could well do if running the older TFSI. Its this one...

I like the car, but just don't like the wheels on it. They look kind of wrong I know they're Audi wheels etc.

My MK5 Golf GTI was a different animal after it was mapped.
