Hi i am hoping someone can help answer this as i have been hunting high and low for a previous topic with no joy.I have a 2004 A3 tdi 140 BKD i had a 2006 engine fitted around 2 years ago due to porus head... and at the time of fitting i also had the car remapped.
Recently i have noticed oil leaking around the throttle body and fuse F8 in the board was blown, seems strange as no fault warning lights are showing on the dash. After speaking to a friend at Vw he informed me this is a common fault on remapped tdi's as the throttle body cannot handle the extra bhp he mentioned the car will not run as economical or to optimum performance until this is fixed.
My car still seems responsive and keeps up with S3s although come to think of it there is no longer the tearing turbo noise that it had when i first had it remapped.
The Throttle body in my car is a 038128063G does anyone know if there is an upgraded unit that will work?
Cheers mat
