Sorry for such a late reply.. I just had the camshaft timing out a cog lol Easily done, I was rushing it to be fair but nah I don't even notice any extra vibrations or anything with the delete. Runs perfectly fine Sent from my Phone using Tapatalk

how do guys, so.. I recently changed the steering rack on my a3 8p along with a bunch of other front end tackle while i had the subframe off, now i have assembled it all back together im getting the dreaded subframe crack. and its really loud and embarrasing, it cracks probably 3 times during...

Engines all back in and running fine bar one issue. I have a lumpy idle, it's not so bad but I was wondering if this was due to the balance shaft delete? I'd like to hear from anybody that's done it and the outcome. So I don't waste time hunting a vacuum leak etc. All hoses are on, there's...

Well the sprocket from aks doesn't actually say aks on it. So there is no clear difference and will be the same part. it's probably worth buying it from Vis Motorsport directly, I just preferred to order all my bits from one place. Just a note there's two holes on the bottom of the balance...

Just to add, started at five after work. Engine was out by 6.30 so it's peanuts of a job to get one of these out, most of the wiring is on the front of the engine and easily accessible, with coil pack n75 and diverter valve being the only wiring down the back. just getting it back in is a...

The one from vis has £30 postage so it's near enough £200 anyway. I like aks they're a bunch of decent guys so I don't mind blowing the extra £60. Always next day postage and perfect packaging. I've ordered loads off them and they never fail so it's all good. Anyhow, got the engine out but I...

Didn't realize they were open today but have just spoken to a nice gent at aks. I'm going to go for the freewheel sprocket as seen in pics. The balance shafts have zero play but seen as I've got the sump of the new engine I'm cleaning the pickup and buying the sprocket. It's got a big price...

Will do, I'm on a tight schedule this next week so it's going to have to be put off for a few days. I'll give them a bell on Monday morning and see what the options are. I'm going to start posting some pics of the progress etc soon so stay tuned if you're interested I'm actually in two minds...

You can do it on vcds.. I did it for my headlights but had trouble with the fogs for some reason it would still flash quickly about 5 times then stop like you say, I forgot the section on vcds but it can be done. You're right about the reason it does it though, ECU is basically checking for...

Ok so I've got my hands on a second hand bwa block and head. It's another 100k but for my sake I wanted to do the balance shaft delete from aks, brand new oil pump and put new bearings and rings on the bottom end. The head all looks fine from the one I've got. I've had the cams out and there's...

I think people are missing the reason why I have gauges lol I have a series of gauges. Oil pressure, boost, afr. Those were fitted prior to having any sort of oil pressure problem or any problems with the engine for that matter. It's remapped yes, but the oil pump has just failed for no...

It's probably going to cost a lot more with the ecu etc. I'd probably better off buying a second hand bwa and putting a balance shaft delete from aks and a k04 on it I've been meaning to delete the balance shafts before they shafted me but I just never got round to it lol it was only a matter...

Luckily for me I work in a breakers yard. But we don't have any Mk5 gti TT or a3's with adequate engines. I had two oil gauges just because I know those engines are very finicky with oil pressure if not looked after. I picked it up at 100k miles on the cheap. And I don't trust the " long...

How do guys, a couple of you already know from another post but it's off topic so long story short i'm attempting to start a brainstorming thread to help me gather a few ideas if anybody is up for it i would appreciate it a lot. The horse - 2006 A3 8p 2.0 tfsi BWA engine. My oil pump has...

Also I've already heard about the hex key drive mechanism on the diesels but mines a balance shaft cog and chain setup.. from what I remember theres three cogs on mine.. the crank, the balance shafts and the oil pump on one chain Sent from my G8141 using Tapatalk

It's a 2.0 tfsi BWA A3 8p. 115k miles.. I've always changed oil and filters every 3k and I have an oil pressure gauge it literally just shot to zero after a second to third change and then oil pressure warning on the cluster and I shut it off .. I actually have two gauges, one manual one in...

Well not to blow my own trombone but I have decent mechanical knowledge. She's toast haha. Going to take sump off it this weekend and sift my way through the pan of bits and bobs I have left over, pull off a cap or two and see how bad the crank is! The wiper motor can wait for now lol...

It doesn't hit the top of the windscreen no, and thanks for all the suggestions but now, I've got a major issue. My oil pump has just given up completely [emoji119][emoji30] sounds like I've stripped the teeth off the drive chain or snapped the drive chain but I have zero pressure on the...

Thanks for the replies.. I had the scuttle panel removed but I cant see or feel anything bad really.. I've tried to post a video of the issue I'm having but I think I'll have to put it on YouTube or something and share the link as it's not letting me do it from my phone on here . The wiper...

How do guys, I've had a bit of a search on this and now the weather is getting poor I'm using my wipers a lot more and hence it is annoying me a lot more. Basically when my wipers get to the end of their travel at the top of the windscreen and start to go back down, they make this awful...
