Little Jump - Audi A4 Sline
Discussion
Hi all,
New to these forums after being recommended by a work colleague, want to say from the off I'm spent the last couple of days glued to it such a great community here.
Just recently got my new car, an 05 2.0l Audi with the Sline pack and really enjoying it. Its difficult not to starting running a list of 'What am I going to buy it', however as my colleague stated "Don't remap or enhance until you've had a chance to enjoy it for what it is, otherwise you'll never notice the difference". Seems sound advice.
My car history has been pretty light on the ground considering I've had a license for 9 years
First car was..
1.3 Peugeot 309
Then swiftly moved onto a 1.6 16v Astra Sport
After the Astra had an altercation with a 3 series a few years passed until finally I picked up a
1.9 Xsara
It however came with endless problems namely accelerating by itself, cutting out and requiring jump starts and crunching gear changes to the point I lost patience and had it crushed.
A long 5 years passed and finally I got back into driving with the Audi
Cheers for reading and I look forward to gassing with you all
Regards
Ryan

Remaps are happening but as 200bhp is such a jump for me it makes sense to enjoy it as standard whilst it still has that "Wow" feeling and then 3/4 months down the line when I've got used to it, to do the stage 1 up to 250bhp.
Remember as well that as I've not had a car for a while I have no No-claims so any performance tuning will start to push the premiums up (Its £1000 at the moment)
Excited to see what I can do though and more than happy for advice. What I really need to do is lock down a trusted Mechanic/garage to do Servicing and tuning etc.

V. Nice car, but....Remember as well that as I've not had a car for a while I have no No-claims so any performance tuning will start to push the premiums up (Its £1000 at the moment)

Screw waiting...just remap it now and enjoy. Or in 4 months time you'll be thinking "why did I wait so long??!!". Honestly the 2.0TFSi engine responds so well to a Stage 1 Map it becomes a completely different beast, pretty much what it should have been leaving the factory.
My current car is the second 2.0TSi i've owned and re-mapped. The first one I waited a few months to do then when I got this I did it the same day
