Although I had a one off lately after the car sat for 2 weeks in the cold. Car started with a jumper pack and then was misfiring so bad it shut down one cylinder. Once the car warmed up and I cleared the safe mode all was well.

Yeah the dealer did a carbon removal (can't remember which method they used) and all had been good since, 6 years later.

I had the exact same symptoms and it was all due to carbon build up. Might be worth checking the valves with a bore scope.

Why not the Thule system?

But the easiest to install without rails but very sturdy once installed.

That's a good point too, I wanted to make the switch from 5w30 at some point. I'll use 5w40 in the next oil change.
Thanks!

Thanks for the tip guys, she's booked on tomorrow for other things so I'll ask for a quick check up on the spark plugs and cylinders health.

I too prefer light colored wheels on dark cars. Bright Silver would be my preference, I never regretted the silver 0Z I put on my dark blue A3.

Oh, not sure if related but I've also seen an increase in fuel consumption. Engine and transmission is tuned with unitronic stage 1, since about 4 years.

Hi everyone,
I've observed an increase in oil consumption in my 2.0 TFSI (ccta). It always drank oil to some degree, but I'm now adding almost a liter every 1000km.
Now I hear the PCV should be changed as the first step in this scenario. I changed mine for a new OEM one 4 years (60 000km)...
Plenty of good options in Canada. For OEM stuff I prefer germanoem.ca.
For aftermarket (and some OEM as well),
wctperformance.ca/
eurosporttuning.com/
amtuning.ca/
As for fsi vs TFSI, it's confusing but Audi uses the TFSI while VWs from same gen uses TSI. But I believe they are essentially...
Bit of a front end visual overhaul. New grille, headlights polished, new fog light covers and S3 style mirror caps. Now if I can get the bumper properly repainted the project will be completed.

That being said, might be a good idea to make sure the spark plugs and coils are fresh. They will likely wear out faster.

For the 8p normally, for most tuners the only upgrade required is the down pipe. Several tuners will recommend an upgraded intercooler and an intake, but that's optional at least with unitronic tunes.
I'm soon going stage 2 myself as soon as I get a downpipe. I'll be fitting an upgraded...
Nice, kinda regretting not going coilovers myself.
Now, while we're there, might as well change the ball joints right? Passat ball joint are needed for the the Passat LCA? Or is the Passat LCA accepting the A3 ball joints?
