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...

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.

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...
