    BWA engine problems

    Hope this is fine being in this forum, but I've got a 2006 petrol Octavia VRS (2l TFSI BWA engine) with engine troubles. Recently the turbo blew and this has been replaced with a OEM one from TPS. Renewed the required lines as well and the removal and refitting went fine. After starting it and...

    Revs hunting at idle

    On idle the engine in my car is hunting and not staying at a consistent rpm. Under load the car is fine and the revs rise and fall as they should. It even stays ok when I shift into neutral for a brief moment after being under load. But if I were to stop with the engine running, within 30-60secs...

    2l Tfsi intake camshaft change

    anyone here had to replace their intake camshaft on the 2l tfsi? Upon changing my cam follower I decided to see what revision camshaft I had fitted and unfortunately it's revision 'a'. So along with the latest revision camshaft I'll be replacing the follower (again), timing chain and tensioner...

    Fuel Consumption With Blue Haldex

    Had my blue haldex on now for 6 weeks or so and more recently I've noticed I've lost circa 50-60miles to a tank doing the same journey. Would I be right in thinking that maybe the blue haldex is the cause? For those who have one fitted did you notice this?

    Headlight sensor bracket

    Fitted s3_dave's adjustable rear tie bars recently and have managed to get the headlight levelling sensor bracket fitted by packing out the excess gap. Is there a more permanent option available to safely secure this piece? Those of you with Dave's tie bar's what have you done?

    Hub puller needed?

    I'm in the process of taking off my front hubs to get new wheel bearings pressed in. I've managed to undo the tie rod end, undone the top nut on the balljoint, and removed the strut from the hub carrier, however the hub just won't budge along the splines of the driveshaft. Is the only way to get...

    Replacing connectors

    I need I get the following connector replaced as it has snapped on the release tab Are there any tools to release the connector pins or is it a case of chopping the wires off and soldering the new part? Ideally I'd like to avoid chopping the wire.

    Alignment settings

    On the rear I've read 1.10deg negative camber is ideal (I have RATB), however what is recommended for the front? I have Silver Project camber plates being fitted.

    Changing alternator brands

    I currently have a Valeo branded alternator fitted. I've replaced the volt reg and still no charge getting to the battery. Also I replaced the battery and checked continuity on the cable and still no joy. So this is leading me to believe the alternator is at fault. Could I change from a Valeo...

    Compbrake top mounts

    This is with regards to the mk1 TT however I thought there would be more chances of getting replies on the post here as it's busier then the TT boards. Also essentially underneath the bodywork they're the same car (or near enough). Has anyone got any experience with them? AUDI TT MK1 TOP MOUNTS...

    Has anyone any experience or view on using both adjustable tie bars & camber correction bushes (the likes of which are sold by Superpro)? Not necessarily the camber correction bushes on the adjustable tie bars but maybe adjustable tie bars fitted in either the top or lower position with the...
