    Exhaust advice 1.6 fsi on 1.8t

    The garage is mainly an exhaust shop, the guy doing the work seem to be sure he could make it fit with some fabrication. I guess the main issue would be where the squashed part is on the original that avoids the drive shaft area. I cant seem to find the accurate 1.6fsi exhaust bore size. I know...

    Exhaust advice 1.6 fsi on 1.8t

    Hello all, just looking for some advice/info. I have a 1.8t quattro (180bhp k03) and its rear silencer has snapped off the pipe. I've had it welded but it's broken in a different spot soon after. The garage has two options for me on a budget, a rear silencer from a 1.6 fsi or a straight pipe...

    I have a A3 TQS and have just put on some new wheels: Front: 18x8.5j et35 Rear 18x9.5j et35 The wheels came with tyres but I don't like the amount of stretch on them (fronts 205/40 rears 215/40). I'm looking at two options for the rear, 235/40 or 240/35, I'll match the fronts depending on the...

    I've had a look at the Lemforder parts on ECP, they are quite expensive, above £200. How would something like this compare in durability? Suspension wishbone arm x2 arms pair rack track rod ends stabiliser drop links | eBay Thoughts?

    TFSI Turbos

    What's the deal with this then? Is there a kit or guidelines as to what needs to be bought and fitted for it to work? I've seen the other threads and there isn't much actual specific detail. I have a 1.8tqs AJQ engine with a turbo on its way out, is a ebay sourced original ko3 TFSI turbo a...

    Hello all, having some issues and hoping someone can provide guidance. Back story: My 1.8tqs is on 130k miles and consumes oil. Before, on a quick launch or if I shifted higher up in the rev range (spirited driving) and then came to a stand still and moved off again the car would judder and...

    Audi A3 1.6 2000 gear knob?

    Well you have to be able to do basic hands on work, its not too hard. While the leathers softening, drill little holes through the frame (where the staples were just as a guide). Then once you've stretched the leather over the frame its all about patience while you stitch it together, up to you...

    Audi A3 1.6 2000 gear knob?

    Just to let you know, it won't fit directly. Mine is also a Pre-facelift, read through what I wrote above, all the newer style gear knobs are for facelift models onwards and the gaiter frame for those are smaller than our facelift ones. You will have to use the old frame on the new gaiter as I...

    Audi A3 1.6 2000 gear knob?

    I know this is a old thread but I did this mod recently. Looks exactly like the picture so no point in posting another. The facelift gaiter frame is smaller so you have to pull both gaiters off of their frames and mate the new one to the old larger frame. Soak the bottom of the new gaiter in hot...

    2.0t coil packs - spark plug question

    Yep theyre taller, I needed the car for work this week so i just stuck them in without adaptors but theyre really securely wedged. I rang volkswagen in ruislip to get the oem adapters and they redirected me to a new TPS in Hayes (Uxbridge). Looks like VAG are directing customers there to get the...

Original packs on 127k so im switching them for the 2.0tfsi ones. Question: What spark plugs should i use on a standard mapped K03s turbo 180bhp and...
