Calling 170 tdi boys

[Andy]

Thanks! Liking this forum already. Just hope its a good car  on Wednesday now! Then you guys can empty my wallet on mods! 

arr we are good at that on here

[Bikerz]

This is meant to be my sensible daily,however Im sure it will get many mods. I will have to show off my pride and joy at somepoint. I know I will get lots of abuse as its a Audi TT.......... However some of you might let me off when you realise it has over 500bhp

Have you been told about the 170 injectors failing? Have a search and you will see what I'm on about. I've got a 170pd gt tdi sport and I have not had any issues as yet. I don't know if it was just early cars, around '06-'07.

ooh get pics up of the audi

Its a 56 plater with 66k on the clock. My mum had a 140 passat and it was ******* had the fuel pump fail that VW eventually sorted. We have only have VAG in the household for years and the passat was the worst car yet! I know the 170 has the better P technology injectors.

Isn't the 170 dpf meant to be a pain in the  to remap?

Yes however I will get the Miltek downpipe and decat and get her mapped.

Apologies for the duff info regarding the rear brake size.  Was going to say Shark Performance will to a remap and DPF delete, PM shark_90 for more info.   

[Bikerz]

Cheers buddy. Its not duff info as most 170s have larger brake but not all it seems.

Also there is a sticker on the inside of the Driver's door pillar, stating 170 Ps (well mine does anyway) :)
And as already mentioned, the twin chrome tails and bigger brakes up front are also indicators that its a 170.

What spec is your new car?

I took many months finding mine,
Reflex Silver
3 door
170 Ps GT Sport
Xenon's
18" charleston alloys
Leather interior
Cruise Control
Dual Climate
iPod Prep in Arm Rest.

I knew what I wanted, just had to drop down a year (07 - 2007) as I initially wanted a 2008, but a small compromise for the spec I wanted.

Make sure you check about the Piezo Injectors....google it....and get VW customer service to book it in for a batch number check (TEL 0800 0833 920) Just be aware, they cannot tell the batch number from the VAG COM diagnostics, rockerbox cover needs to be removed and the actual injectors inspected for the faulty batch number.
Just had mine done, £2300 worth of replacement Injectors and wiring loom, all Free of Charge,..... peace of mind, don't want them to fail on the motorway...it sounds horrible !!

good luck with your purchase !!

[Bikerz]

Cheers. So if mine has the problem injectors they will be replaced FOC? Any links to save me reading loads of rubbish (or should I stop being lazy?) 

[AdeMcG]

A couple to get you started.
