  2. Remapping an Exeo ST 2.0 TDI (170bhp version)

    They made my exhaust on my Exeo and it was flawless! I’ve had numerous exhausts over the years but the quality of the Darksides work wins hands down. I’d definitely go to them for a remap as above they know their stuff and specialise in VAG. When I had my Exeo (140bhp model) they said they could...
  3. Exeo that seat didn’t want to fix

    Unfortunately the Exeo along with the A4 B5-B7 and Passat which share the same floor plan suffer with flooding in the scuttle area if not cleaned out regularly which usually results in wet footwells and followed by electrical issues if not sorted in the early days. It’s a design flaw which never...
  4. Dicko90’s Exeo ST Progress Thread

    If only you got change from an Audi :D this has 54k so slightly more. Don’t get me wrong I liked my Exeo but the build quality and materials of the Audi are in a different league. The seats for instance are proper nappa leather as is the steering wheel, where as the Exeo was more an imitation of...
  5. Dicko90’s Exeo ST Progress Thread

    New car finally purchased, another white estate..... this time a B8 Audi A4 Avant S Line Executive 170bhp. I’m absolutely chuffed to bits it’s so well specced and on another level when compared to my old Exeo. The chap I bought it off had owned it from new, to say it’s 2 years older the whole...
  6. Dicko90’s Exeo ST Progress Thread

    Cheers Lads, I had been getting itchy feet for a while wanting to change but when getting offered 5.2k-6k for a 6 year old car with just over 40k on the clock, FSH etc it was looking like I’d be running it into the ground rather than taking a big hit! Thankfully gumtree saved me, the chap who...
  7. Dicko90’s Exeo ST Progress Thread

    End of an era the Exeo was sold on Thursday ended up getting £7.5k which was 2k more than any dealer was offering!! Was a no brainier for us, unfortunately the Exeo prices are plummeting as good as they are to drive and very reliable I’m one for changing my car quite frequently so made sense to...
  8. RHD Parts for engine covers

    The battery cover you have bought looks correct and like mine. You need the cover which will replace the original large one and allow the battery cover to sit in. I did post in a thread some time back the part numbers for the covers I bought. As Tom said these won’t stop water coming in they...
  9. Thinking of buying a Exeo

    I think he is trying it on as that’s very dear! I’ve just checked my invoice and I paid £56 for the high pressure valve (part no 3R0959126) and £46 for fitting then plus VAT so was around £117 all in. I was always led to believe the valve was at the front behind the bumper? Someone may prove me...
  10. Thinking of buying a Exeo

    Is the ECON air con light constantly on? If so this means there is a fault in the aircon system. I had to have the pressure valve replaced on mine (I’m sure that’s what it was) the garage tried regassing the system first but no such luck. I think the valve was around £40 then fitting so was...
  11. Anyone had their emissions fix reversed?

    I’ve only ever run the Exeo on v power diesel since I’ve owned it and always ran v power on my previous Mini’s and feel it helps keep things tickling a long and keeps the internal parts cleaner. Possibly a placebo but like I say I “touch wood” so far as it runs a dream!
  12. Anyone had their emissions fix reversed?

    Mine had the fix before I bought it and I’ve done around 10k with no issues (touchwood) and monitor it with VAG DPF. It usually regens every 200-300 mile when it gets to 20-22g of soot. It appears the 1.6 TDi VAG engine has suffered issues the most! I know quite a few 2.0 engines have had issues...

    Looks brilliant! It’s a shame SEAT never put these on as standard like Audi did with the B7. Definitely a mod Im considering just finishes the back end of nicely.

    I bet that sounded rather nice! Keep the rails estates look so much better with them ;)

    Steady on... I wasn’t having a dig I was just saying certain people enjoy modifying their cars! Just because you aren’t into modifying doesn’t mean it’s wrong. Your lucky the Exeo scene isn’t the most popular for modifying as if it was you would be off into melt down ;) The B7 Avant (same car as...

    Luckily police don’t have enough time on their hands to search through car forums to find cars which have had the DPF, CAT modified or removed. They would have a field day as most people who join the forums especially previous ones I’ve being on are interested in modifying a car and increasing...

    Sits just right! Oh it was you who had momentum remap your Exeo I’d seen it on Instagram didn’t realise it was yours. Have they deleted the DPF software and EGR and removed the insides of the DPF?

    Nice work! Do I spot a Lancia delta? :D do you have any side on pictures of the exeo with the springs fitted?
  19. DPF regen conditions?

    If you have an Android device download an app called VAG DPF and purchase a OBD WiFi adapter. This is how I monitor my Soot levels. My exeo usually regens every 200-220 miles once it’s reached 20g+ of soot. Once regeneration has happened my soot level drops to around 6g usually happens on a...

    Ok thanks I'll see if I can pick one up off eBay, I guess it's the B7 A4 one you have fitted?
