:1zhelp:Hi everyone could anyone give me advice . i bought a a4 cabrio
1.8t sports quattro from leeds audi the proplem ive got is there seems
to be differant power delivery everytime i set of (set of from lights seems to go well then set of from differant lights feels like ive left handbrake on)
i had i back to audi they put it on diagnostics and said everything is ok
i cant always here the turbo is this normal?? it seems to go better if i put my foot down when its in higher gear and make the engine labour
so my question is im i expecting somthing they dont have or should i take it back to audi and kick off any advice would be great thanks :1zhelp::1zhelp:

i think the 1.8t feels a little underpowered in standard form. a remap tranforms the car.

my 1.8T does similar things to yours (seemingly losing power), and im thinking about renewing the dump valve and the N75 (boost pressure control valve) to see if that makes a difference.

thanks for the advice i think when my 1 year warranty is up i will take it for re-mapping see if that gives it any oopph i dont want it to go like porshe
i have a bike as well so if i feel the need for speed il go on that but just thought id would go a bit,i think il wait until one comes in to audi and go book a test drive just to compare does the re-mapping make a fair bit of diffarence and do you still get reliability??
thanks

iv always had 18T sport the 150 163 190 ect only loss of power iv had is either the turbo or the oem dumpvalve i dont see where they are under powerd

Hi bez i think the best thing to do is go test drive one at audi
just to see if its the same if not il take it back and get them to look at it
when i went back and asked them to look they said it was ok and cos ive never driven one before ive no comparison and they can baffle me suppose ive got a year to find out cheers
