    Quick overboost question

    the car goes just slightly over 1 bar, which is 14psi. so it probably goes to about 16psi then drops back to about 10-11psi (around 0.7-0.8 bar)

    Quick overboost question

    i've bought a replacement N75 brand new from VW (it is the correct part) and the car is still boosting to 1bar then dropping back again. I thought by bypassing the n75 and connecting the actuator straight to the charge pipe and getting 0.5-6 bar pointed towards the n75 being faulty? surely i...

    Quick overboost question

    Ok i've took the car out a drive after disconnecting the n75 electronically - the car/boost is still the exact same. Is it worthwhile adjusting the actuator rod like i said above or am i barking up the wrong tree? I logged it with vagcom and it was peaking at around 2100mbar before dropping off

    Quick overboost question

    Cheers s3ben, so by logic, if i get more than 7psi, i can try and adjust the actuator rod by making the end of the rod longer, and if its less than 7psi i do the poopsite with the rod. If its 7psi with the n75 unplugged and i dont see any overboost - would this suggest a n75 problem or is there...

    Quick overboost question

    Hi folks, need a little bit of clarification here. I have an AMK S3, standard apart from a badger tip, jetex cone and forge recirculating diverter valve. I have a pressure guage plumbed in, and sometimes i've noticed the car overboosts to 2 bar! Most times it sits at 0.5-0.7bar. I have 2...

    cylinder layout to replace coilpack

    i've got a misfire on cylinder 3 - pretty sure it's going to be a coilpack - but rather than fannying about and swapping them over to find out what cylinder is what, does anyone know the cylinder layout for the AMK engine while i'm looking at it from the front of the car? Cheers

    Replacement door.

    I know about the door blade being on the s3 and not the a3, but would i be able to put an a3 door on rather than an s3 door, as looking at pictures of a bare door, i cant really see the difference?

    air leak when pressing the brake pedal

    Cheers a3t, but you seem to have a hissing sound when you're not pressing the brake and it stops when you press it if i'm reading your thread correct? Where did you spray the silicon grease into and who told you to do this?

    air leak when pressing the brake pedal

    I can definately hear it when the engine is running and i'm driving. Like i say i've never heard it doing it before so wondering if it could be a vacuum hose or something?

    anywhere in scotland that know their audi's?

    Are there any garage's/tuners in Scotland that absolutely know they're stuff with audi's, particularly the turbo one's. I think i've got a boost leak and had it for ages now but i just can't be ***** trying to find it myself as there's so many hoses it could come from. Anyone know of any?
