can anyone confirm that BWE blocks are exactly the same as BUL block except BUL have revision B camshafts? My research says so. I’m discussing with an engine builder about a reconditioned engine and they say its not obvious but there are subtle differences between some TFSI blocks with oil...

Yesterday got back from a week abroad and the A3 battery was dead (Battery is only 4 months old). This morning no start again until I jump started it and started driving to work. Before noticing that dash doesn’t work at all, drove 30 miles to work on the motorway with no dash functions hoping...

Is anyone elses 8L been disintegrating in this heatwave? Lacquer has literally started falling off the roof and the engine harness is crumbling. I got an open circuit N75 error and when I looked the cable fell apart in my hand. So much for aging gracefully!

Bought a 2006 BUL TFSI last night and Oil pressure light came on on the way home so coasted and got a lift on a flat bed. Top end sounds ok, with likely culprit being the oil pump at 99k. Engine is coming out this weekend to inspect and see whats what. Other than a new cam lobe, a HPFP upgrade...

Noob question I know but really stuck. Under 10mph accelerating and braking theres a loud metallic clunk. Its sounds like the engines going to fall out :wtf: New poly arb bushes are in tight Recent r32 rear wishbone bushes and poly fronts. New engine mounts and poly dogbone (front and rear)...

Has anyone done 2dr rear window replacement? Some helpful person decided to try pry one of my rear windows open and it shattered. It's currently held in place by my awful DIY window tint :whistle2: Once you undo the torx on the opening handle does the window just slide out from the B-pillar...

As above car auto locked me out and baby is in the car. Any ideas on best way in the car? Smash the windows, desparate measures Help

Xspower/relentless ko3 manifold any thoughts or reviews on this? We known the main problem with the KKK turbos is that they are tiny turbine housing. Cranking up the boost raises EGT's, exhaust back pressures, IAT's. Ko3 and ko4 turbine inlets are 41mm, An area of 1320 mm squared This is 62%...

Looking at the stock A3 piece the choke point is the initial downpipe. Would it be totally mad to cut out the stock cat and weld it in the 3" stainless steel decat down pipe. I know its not ideal but can use 309L stick to weld the stainless tubing to mild steel cat. Any thoughts on...

Is anyone running HD rear springs? Do they totally ruin the ride or is it ok? Since I live surrounded by speed bumps I want to keep stock ride height but improve handling.So I'm trying to keep the full range of travel for the dampers but I'm not totally sure how a stiffer rear spring will...

1998 A3 1.8T for £450 off ebay with an undiagnosed misfire. Took a punt and bought it, one ICM and new Spark plugs later she was running great. Decided to do this all on the cheap. The plan with this was to make a reliable cheap car with about 250hp eventually by using a slightly bigger turbo...

I just wondered if anyone else has wired up the AGU for a standalone. Just a little project for something to do. I've got a J220 T80 connector on its way from the states which I plan to make a plug and play with EMS-Pro. As far as I can tell the only hardware change needed is a 2 wire bosch...

Pretty please can someone post a K250 dyno? Any boost logs would be interesting to see to. The Ko4 001 dyno's online are all pretty consistent. With stock actuator 210g/s can be seen. And since the Ko3s has a bigger compressor than the Ko4 001; if you were to mate a Ko3 s compressor to a ko4...
