Think you might be bang on with that. Doesnt look like somthing do able on a drive way? If its a garage job I guess its best if I just do the clutch and dmf while I'm at it. Know any where good to get the kit from? Darkside seem to be the best bet at the momment

Hi guys Just popping this up before I take a plunge in the wrong direction So first things first, a bit of background. Its a 2.0 tdi pd140 which has a stage one map on it, its also at 97k miles and is on first clutch etc. Its having issues with the selection of 1st and reverse as well as...

Safe map 180 odd Silly map that will lunch your clutch and turbo 195 Hybrid and clutch 220/230 Some big turbo with new injectors 260 After that id start to worry about driveability and stock internals

Compare the market Then try directly with admiral and adrian flux. Thats how I got my cheapist price

The votex kit isnt S Line, votex is just an ad on to the standard car. The front end looks good, but I think thr back end is awful. Side skirts are also quite hard to find. The picture isnt of my car but most people just bond it on with some very strong adhesive. I'll try and find a form post...

The votex lip is the black bit being stuck on. You can get cheap copys of it for 60 ish quid.

No it was an optional kit fitted to early se cars. It gives them a front lip which looks a bit like the s line front bumper.

There is a oem lip you can fit, its part of the votex kit. Im still unsure if i fancy it on mine or not

Ah fair enough. Is there really any point hybridising and then fettling the power to save a stock clutch?

How on earth are you guys running 230 bhp with standard clutches?

Turbo swap if nothing has gone bang is a fairly easy job. And @martinivw is right about the fly wheel. Be careful as while the dmf had a tendancy to go pop, it was due to it being the first point of failure. Strengthening it has moved the failure point somewhere else, typically the gear box...

Pretty sure bkd in the a3 doesnt suffer with the oil pump key issue. Also thought the pick up pipe issue was a tfsi thing? Pourious head issue is actually an issue, B and C are safe, A can can be a bit of a ticking time bomb. If you give it a google there are loads of youtube videos showing you...

Demapnding more power will increase wear, a good map will apply power smoothly and minimise the effects while a crap map will be very peaky and snappy which will increase stresses. The biggest difference will be your driving style, good map or crap map the car will still get ******** if you red...

Remap wise, if you going stage one I'd just go generic. There is a shark dealer in manchester and countless revo dealers about(Preston has one). I ended up settling with shark but at stage one they are all very similar.

Clutch slip is clutch slip. It will slop again. Regarding the clutch use the search feature on the forum as its been talked to death countless times. Regarding replacing card holder with drinks holder. Its do able but you nees to change the front plate. Lastly regarding new bits look on the...
