160km on a BKD turbo is quite a lot. So why were the injector seals replaced? Does it smoke after having the seals replaced, or take time to...
Deleting EGR reduces smoke, but kills polar bears. Removing the DPF will increase smoke, but if it’s thick black smoke (unburnt fuel) you either...
Probably, I know the Tiguan ones are interchangeable. The golf R cooler is a good option for the TFSI and a lot cheaper than the alloy S3 ones.
If your turbo is supposedly good for 200-220 bhp then you should achieve this with mapping. The limiting factor on the BKD is the turbo. Your...
Does look like turbo issue, how old is the turbo / what mileage? Could be coked up turbo vanes, out of spec actuator, or small leak in vacuum...
The eibach pro springs on my A3 s-line are 10mm lower than s-line stock, but are less harsh than the s-line springs. Lowering as much as 50mm...
Unlike the front cam giving a + or - torsion figure, the rear cam shows a number with no + or - so you may need to turn it either way. When you...
Sound spot on. You might gain a few mpg by turning the rear cam back to 0.4 l/hr, but you will loose a bit of performance too.
Take readings when the engine is up to temperature and the air con off. Aim for torsion as close to 0 as you can get, and rear cam 0.4 l/hr for...
Your engine will start fine with a full set of failed glow plugs in this weather. If it’s not firing at all it’s likely not injecting fuel. Top...
I had a Revo stage 2 map on a 1.9 TDI 115 with the same turbo as yours, it was a really aggressive map requesting 20psi (stage 1 is 16.5psi). The...
You can move the power band a few hundred RPM up or down the Rev range on the twin cam TDI engines by rotating the inlet camshaft a few degrees in...
All looks ok apart from torsion. With a figure like that you will be loosing some low down torque and likely have a lumpy idle.
The parts you linked are for the arms on the front axle not rear. And they are parts for the older Mk1 8L A3. Did they run the older chassis in...
I tried this before. On the one I tried the A4 slip ring was different and the connector wouldn’t fit and steering module wouldn’t communicate...
Either LUK or Sachs will be fine, both OEM no difference in quality. As you said though, don’t mix parts, stick with the full kit from just one...
This place are have great price if you can wait a week for delivery: By lower arm, I assume you mean the control arm? Here’s arm and the...
If you want a bargain rear ARB there are several larger ones from various VAG vehicles that will fit and can be had cheap on eBay etc. I picked...
When you fitted the polly bushes on the rear did you grease them and tighten everything with the arms all at ride height / position? Also that’s...
If the oil drain was totally blocked your turbo would fail in minutes. Are you having genuine oil feed pipes fitted? Maybe the recon turbo has...
