Well - having owned an A4 Avant (But a 1.8T and not a tdi) myself and a 530D I'm afraid there's a fair bit in there that resonates with me.

Fighting hard to avoid an Ipod though. It gets tougher every day.

Ipod? Just say "no". It makes me grin that they're seen as a fashion accessory - sad, really. LIMP is the way forward

Crikey - very impressive. But only 632 times too complicated for me.

right then, picked it up today, it feels very well put together and there is a nice surge forward when you put your foot down, obviously not like a tek 3 wrx surge, but it feels very different/hard to explain really- not had a diesel before,I think I'll have to get used to it but I am pretty sure I will get on very well with it,

all in all very happy

Yes, the surge from the VAG 4 pot did seem very familiar: a good torque shove arriving in a turbocharged delivery. It's all good stuff

Got the AMD remap and the power/torque curve are the same a standard but higher, makes a good difference but would still like a bit more
can I ask what fuel economy you are getting with that engine and the remap

Average 34/35mpg doing urban/short journies to from work and local driving. On a run high 30s as long as I keep under 90 and Ive got a heavyish right foot as just love the surge of torque.

Discovered recently it drives a lot better with the ESP off too

Forgot to say it didnt really change with the remap.
