Dubturbo
VW Golf mk2 20VT / Audi A3 1.6 Sport
My 00 A3 1.6 (AKL) suffers from what seems to be the classic TB woes - poor idle, bad power loss and jerky acceleration through the revband. Cleaning and resetting the TB didn't solve the problem, although it is intermittent - sometimes it runs perfectly, and others very badly indeed. Next I'll be looking at replacing the TB, but I don't want to put the exact same part in if I can avoid it, as it'll only end up happening again! Does anyone know if there have been any revisions of the TB for this engine, or if TBs from other engines (the AHL 1.6 engine used in the A4 for example, which seems a lot more reliable) can be used instead?
Thanks!
Thanks!
