ah...ok....so Golf 1.8T motors wont fit then?

Ok so I'm as well getting a 2nd hand motor with turbo then. Can I run a K03s without any ECU remap? Is there a benefit?

Update I replaced the head and started her but the bottom end is knackered. Chap chap chap! I stripped down the motor today in preparation to lift out and replace with a complete 2nd hand motor but I noticed quite a lot of oil in the boost pipes considering they had all been cleaned and the...

I need to replace my blown AVJ coded engine but need to know if the APT engine you are selling is a direct replacement. Has it a chain driven oil pump and internal water pump? Cheers

I'm really struggling to find a replacement AVJ engine. Can I use any other code without wiring issues? Is an APU ok?

Hi there, Not quite sorted yet. I've got a 2nd hand head coming so will fire that on but this time double check the cams are properly timed. I'm still not entirely sure what caused the cam chain to jump however I'm positive the blocked oil pick up pipe in the sump caused the flashing oil...

Just thinking.....no 1 piston sits at TDC when the crank pulley is lined up to the mark, surely this mean that the crank woodruff key is spot on? Would it not be more the case that the cam sprocket is duff? I'm going to try and crack the pulley bolt off tonight and examine.

Any tips on slackening the cam pulley bolt without the special tool? Grips on the cam??

The crankshaft pulley is solid though with no sign of movement. When I turn it over with a socket and power bar there is absolutely no sign of it moving. I did notice however that the cam sprocket bolt did seem too tight. The crank bolt is obviously extremely tight to remove....any tips on...

Thanks. I've timed the motor back up before removing the head and noted the position on the marks on the cams. Both inlet and exhaust cam marks are completely out despite the cam sprocket mark and cranks marks being bang on. Looking at both marks on the rear of the cams they are both out of...

Carried out a compression check this evening and got zero reading from all 4 cylinders....gutted! Not sure what's gone wrong as the valves were ground into their seats and the engine timed. The only thing I can think and as someone has suggested on another forum, the woodruff key in the cam...

Checked the bearings and all ok. I didn't replace the rings as ok. I didn't check the timing sprocket woodruff key, is it possible to check without taking off my belt? I don't want to ruin my timing belt damper as last time I removed the belt I had to buy a new damper as I couldn't get the...

Hi there, I'm having a bit of an issue with my brothers 2001 1.8T A4. Breakdown Whilst driving at a steady speed on the motorway his oil warning light came on. He stopped immediately and checked the oil level which appeared ok. He let the car cool for 30 mins and then bravely! started...

Definatley not been uprated. I have the car booked into the dealership tomorrow for replacement, will take 2 days to replace. Going to do it under warranty though so not too bad, and I get a courtesy car out of them. I have asked them to look over the cr and give me thier honest opinon on...

Interesting. Thats for that. Any ideas on how I prove to the dealer that its been clocked (assuming that it has) which I think now it has been.

I got a 'Handover Checklist' but no certificate with mileage verification!?!?! I just emailed the salesman at Stockport Audi advising him that I am suspicious about the cars mileage authenticity and that I will be taking it to an independant dealership for appraisal. I will list all the...

Very suspicious indeed. I sat in a brand new S4 in the dealership the other week and the gear stick felt really stiff, mine feels quite loose when engaged in gear (manual). Also, the passengers lower seat bolster has very very slight wrinkling. I telephoned an Audi dealership in Leeds which...

I got 12 months warranty on her as she is an approved used Audi from an Audi dealership. Not the point though...I'm worried shes been clocked at some stage. Come to think of it, she needed new front discs and pads before I picked her up.

If you slip the clutch in 4th, 5th or 6th she revs away. Very strange as she only has 24k on the clock. I spoke to the previous owner on Friday and he told me that she had a new gearbox fitted last year, but said the mileage was genuine as far as he know and he had had her for 2 years and only...
