Good afternoon chaps, Some may remember the thread where I was looking for some engine mounts to replace my friends sad, worn out BFI mounts. We ended up going for the Vibra-Technics road version mounts. I wanted to ask the community how did you guys align the Vibra-Technics engine mounts...

Hello Chaps I am helping a friend source some new Engine Mounts for his decade old 1.8T Big Turbo setup after the first revision BFI mounts gave up. See pic below Of course, there are other brands nowadays but the main ones we're looking at are; 034 Motorsport BFI Vibra Technics My...

Good day chaps, Just had this strange happening occur. Yesterday went for a mountain with a couple of my friends (one has a Stage 2 Seat Cupra MK2, other a Renault Megane RS Stage 1, another small frame turbo e46) and I went through my whole WMI reservoir on about a 20 mile hill climb route...

Good Evening Lads, My A3 is due for an oil change sometime next week (expect to hit the 6k km mark sometime during next week) and I was wondering when I should change out the spark plugs. Some people recommend every oil change, some recommend every 10k miles. I ask as I assume that with...

Good Evening, I am fiddling about with my AEM WMI system and I was wondering how to remove the plastic tubing/line from the Pump or the Reservoir or the Nozzle. I gave a light tug on it and it didn't budge and obviously I don't want to potentially damage it so I just left it. Is there any...

So I got my WMI system all wired up. AEM v2 system. Nozzle in IC piping before the TB. Controller in glovebox with a switch wired in so I can switch the system on and off. I still have to find a place to mount it. I've got the wires and lines running to the boot of the car to be able to install...

Yes, another one of these Big Turbo question threads by me. Apologies So, as some may know I am planning big turbo build however I still cannot decide what manifold/turbo to go for. I've been reading Big Turbo build threads in the 1.8T section in VwVortex, majority of which are a decade old (or...

An offer just popped up on Facebook Marketplace. A 2001 Audi A3 1.8T 2 door with a blown headgasket for 500 euros. Car has been sitting for a while and I was wondering if you guys could tell me whether or not it's worth the risk flipping an A3 1.8T with a blown headgasket. I am knowledgeable...

So. I want to install cruise control in me car. Because the 20 minute motorway ride to work can be tedious without cruise control. There are a gazillion different options on eBay. Some are around 40 quid from trusted sellers with good reviews. However, should I just go the smart route and buy...

So I am slowly going to start piecing together parts for a build. Hp range 325-400 at the wheels so it'll be driveable on the streets. As we all know, when removing the head you need new hardware connecting the bottom end to the head as the stock hardware is Torque to Yield. This is where my...

So. I have decided to go full ricer and install an RGB footwell LED light strip with a remote control for multiple light functions and settings. Inner-me is feeling very giddy. I wanted to know if someone could recommend a good place to tap into for running the positive wire. I will be...
