hi,
last week i got an 06 a3.
i have driven an audi a4 for a few months but it was a v6, and ive only worked on n.a. cars. so im not really sure of how to take care of a turbo engine.
last night when i came home i shut the car off and i herd some sounds i wasnt familiar with... any general info, tips and tricks would be good help!
thanks

 

A general rule with any turbo car is to let the turbo cool after you've driven it hard. If you drive it hard let it idle for 2 minutes so the turbo can cool down before you turn the car off.

Also, you may hear some whistling sounds when you get off the gas on a turbo car. It's the built up turbo pressure excaping through the blow off valve. This sound is normal.

I think that's about it. Enjoy your Turbo Audi.

 

thanks,
is the audi a3 community on here small, or just not interested in these forums?

I got the revo chip with select plus...anyone know if i can use this to data log the car?

...and fyi: winter mats, blackout grille, tints, new plate holder, and some diff badges already purchased

 

That's the best part about boost!!!
