So this person who has been a reliable source of information on Audi for 6 years+ is nothing to do with Audi according to art.ArthurPE wrote:talk about debunked
this is foisted on us as being from Audi
it is NOT from Audi or anybody who works for Audi
Pictures of my inlet ports....

nope, I just don't offer lies as truth...repeatedlySims wrote:art, however, has a hotline to Audi.ArthurPE wrote:
Audi has NEVER acknowledge deposts as a power loss issue...
If you are stating otherwise I will ask them.......again
Audi and I do share one thing:
'Truth in Engineering'
everything else (as relates to technical matters) is wives tales, hearsay, misleading 'I heard somewhere' or 'I feel' and generally BS
I am not in a position to publish information for Audi since I do not work for them...there is a disclaimer on documents for a reason...Sims wrote: so will you post Audi's reply & truth on this forum?
unlike others who profess to work for Audi and proffer bald faced lies as corporate fact...
but I got an idea, really crazy one, write them youself and ASK THEM!!!
So will you give us a detailed explanation of what Audi NA say to you. Is it possible that carbon buildup is not a US problem?ArthurPE wrote:I am not in a position to publish information for Audi since I do not work for them...there is a disclaimer on documents for a reason...Sims wrote: so will you post Audi's reply & truth on this forum?

I will write to Audi when I'm ready and have gathered all the information I need.
Not quite Art, read it again...ArthurPE wrote:let me be clear:
you are saying deposits cost 100 HP? and can't be felt?
and yet when cleaned members claim dynos show +20HP, they can feel it?
can't fell -100HP
can feel +20 HP
deposits cost 100HP?
deposits cost 20HP?
lot of contradictions in there, lol

Just picking up on an early quote - 'my car doesn't feel like it's lost power'.
There have been members on here who have driven round in complete ignorance to the fact they have been over 100bhp down [b](non carbon related)[/b] as the power loss happened over time.
Just like getting old, it’s not until you look at old pictures of yourself you realise you are deteriorating!
I was merely stating it's very hard to notice gradual decline or improvement over a prolonged period of time
sims most of your posts today have been a bit tetchy, had a crap day at work or is it time of the month relatedSims wrote:So will you give us a detailed explanation of what Audi NA say to you.

not according to me...Sims wrote: So this person who has been a reliable source of information on Audi for 6 years+ is nothing to do with Audi according to art.
I forwarded the link to Audi
they indicated he does not work for them, speak for them and that is not information from them...
I can't make it any clearer than that...
it would be impossible for the same engine, on the same fuel, to not have deposits only because of geographic location...Sims wrote:So will you give us a detailed explanation of what Audi NA say to you. Is it possible that carbon buildup is not a US problem?

isn't that a bit silly?
they all have deposits
deposits don't cost power due to Q loss or timing <beep>...
According to me it is.. That person posted on an RS forum, and has been doing so for many years as the voice of Audi.ArthurPE wrote:

As you said your only link with Audi is that of a customer, and of course you would never have proof of what Audi NA told you.
Silly? Let's determine that at the end.ArthurPE wrote:

It is the same fuel? Is it the same emmission controls? Is it the same everything. Usually manufacturers don't go into the US because of the stricter rules and need for volume to justify the investment to cope with the changes.
I recall you mentioning DRC was hardly an issue in the US, but it is here in the UK so maybe there are differences.
If they do have the same deposits, I am curious why the debate has only been raging in the other English speaking countries. Care to explain that?
Have you some links to some US Audi forums?

he says he does not work for Audi, he has 'contacts'
Audi says that statement is not issued by them, and is not accurate...
all you have to do is ask them...
silly at the begining and the end...
same fuel (at least between the UK and USA and most of Europe)
same software, same emissions
actually the USA is less stringent, even California, than Europe
hence Audi essentially building 'world cars'
the differences: usually lighting and some safety reinforcement, engine is identical...
DRC is not an issue, failure rate is on the order of 1%, the same as any other system of similar complexity....not 'every car'
the debate is 'raging' in US forums, but as far as I can tell, not Germany
I attribute that to their higher sophistication when it comes to all things cars...
