Hello
According to the garage I have a crack in 2 of my pistons which is leading in the car eating through my spark plugs and causing continuous misfire which is barely drivable.
They put the snake camera down there but they are suggesting taking the head off to inspect further
mods on the car so far are TTE420 Turbo. Turboback Miltek, LOBA Hpfp. RS3 Intank Pump. Stage 2++ and GIAC Stage 3 dsg flash and was dyno'd just shy of 400bhp
Apparently Audi have revised the pistons now so I am being told I need to change all 4 and have been quoted just under £2000. which includes changing pistons, waterpump and cambelt, headgasket and other bits. Labour is around £800 and the rest is parts
is this reasonable? should I be going for forged pistons for the power and im running and any recommendations where to get from? Are dealers the only place for pistons?
Thanks
