Evening gents.
Firsty Hi to all with me recently purchasing my first S3, its a 2000 model i think APY powered, in grey, 85k and so on:
I purchased this car with known engine problems, on viewing it had a missfire, initially thought it was a coil on plug issue but after digging deeper no1 cylinder is reading 50psi dry compression test, after a wet test its upto 200psi so giving that i diagnose ring failure, all other cylinders are 175ish.
I work away from home so once back i will remove head and drop sump.
So i hve a few questions regarding my issue and the S3's due to my limited knowledge:
Looking for advise and the best way forward to making this engine right? i initially planned to do no1 rings only, belt kit, clean oil pick up etc, it is relitavely low miles for its age, im not going for big BHP as i have another toy for that but i do plan on a remap.
What would be the best parts for this engine? make wise
Does my engine run the K04?
Any advise or tips on the strip down?
Thanks Robert
