Steve-O Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Evening chaps Just bought an 2007 Audi A4 estate. Sensible family man now lol still got the mx5 though for fun Anyway is there much to adjust on these? I think judging by the service history it's eating a set of tyres in 15k or so. Just curious if I can extend that a bit since I will be motorway munching a fair bit Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Nice move ..... Audi is not as adjustable as the 5, nevertheless it has front/ rear toe, rear camber and optimised front camber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An oracle of information as always mate 15k out of a set of fronts on a car like this doesn't sound terrible, but do you think there could be an improvement within the scope of adjustment?

Rich Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Nice choice of car Steve, what engine did you get? I would love to get 15k miles out of my front tyres, the best I get is 8 or 9k! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 15k is fair for a fwd..... The Audi chassis is a complicated little lady so it's wise to get an image just to be sure she's in trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Audi chassis is a complicated little lady so it's wise to get an image just to be sure she's in trim. Rich it's the Avant SE 6 speed manual 2.0 tdi(bit of a mouthfull!) 143bhp and 236ftlb torque. It goes well for an oil burner that's for sure. Compared to our 306 hdi this feels massively quick. I've been promised 47mpg or thereabouts. A perfect tool for fanging up and down the M1 to see friends/family with all the baby gear! I'll bring her over for an image and tweak shortly then tone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Sounds good mate, are you going to remap it or chip it? Do you know what the mpg is for around town? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-O Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Sounds good mate, are you going to remap it or chip it? Do you know what the mpg is for around town? Remap.... Didn't even think of that! Hmmm maybe in the future I think it's 35 odd around town not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 That's fairly good for around town if you do get 35mpg, mine does that on the motorway! I wonder what power figures a remap would give Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve-O Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I wonder if those plug in boxes are any good rather than a full on remap? I like the idea of being able to switch it off/remove quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_r Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 steve-o. if your interested in a map, then contact me im not a sponsor here so would not want to get upset anyone, but i can offer these services :confused: The boxes really arnt a great idea for your engine as all they do is up the boost and the fuel pressure. Proper maps will take in to account a lot more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
