    Help Please Turbo Spool Up Lag (I think)

    As I'm not seeing any specific related MAF errors, I have considered this for the future. I may change it sooner rather than later.

    Help Please Turbo Spool Up Lag (I think)

    Hi Garrett 69, How's you? Thank you for recognising my efforts. I even made my own car ramps out of my kids childhood bunk beds... Honestly? No. Good thought though. I have previously removed the whole air system, cleaned it and carefully refitted. I even bought some MAF Sensor...

    Help Please Turbo Spool Up Lag (I think)

    Hi Garrett 69, Thanks for your reply. I believe it's electronic, so that would make sense, yes. That is a very good question, hence the reason for my "very long story" comment... At the time of failure there were many opinions being thrown my way, mostly valid and constructive ones. At that...

    Help Please Turbo Spool Up Lag (I think)

    Hi all, I have an issue with my Turbo on my 2.0 TFSI A4 B8 Quattro. My turbo intermittently seems to just not function. Is this Spool Up Lag? There are no unusable noises, nor specifically related error codes & when it does work it seems fine. Now, there is an underlying engine camshaft...

    A4 B8 - Engine Scraping / grinding noise

    No, it's been a bit of a nightmare & I've hardly driven it for the last year, but to be honest, it's mainly my fault for not servicing & maintaining properly. I've pretty much replaced everything you can replace, water pump, N80 Valve, Cambridge/solenoid (mesh blew because of broken PCV)...

    A4 B8 - Engine Scraping / grinding noise

    Update: This turned out to be a destroyed balance shaft chain and crank shaft cog teeth.

    A4 B8 2009 Low Oil Pressure when turn Heater on

    Update: The oil pressure warning was being caused by the reverse camera light I'd installed with a reverse light power feed, or at least the oil pressure warning has gone now I've put the camera on its own relay feed. I assume it was causing a voltage issue that indirectly affected the low...

    A4 B8 2009 Low Oil Pressure when turn Heater on

    I forgot to mention; I changed the Balancer Shaft Chain and Crank Gears because the chain had been stretched to the point it was hanging down & not even engaging with the Crank Gear... Makes me think; could I have a Exhaust Balance Shaft issue? I did check both shafts before replacing the...

    A4 B8 2009 Low Oil Pressure when turn Heater on

    Hi, How are you all...? Apologies if this post is a duplicate, but I can't find a similar one... I have an issue where, when my car is idling, is at full temperature (90) and I turn the cabin heater on, and only when I turn the heater on, the 'Low Oil Pressure' Warning turns on...!!! I...

    A4 B8 - Engine Scraping / grinding noise

    Hi folks, how's things? I have a very loud Scraping / Grinding sound on front of my engine. The noise is external, as apposed to inside the block. It could be coming from either the timing area, the serpent belt adjuster, one of the pumps or the Alternator, I can't work out which. The first 3...
