Someone with VCDS will be able to check if you have a boost leak, the S3 is prone to them, the smoke tester will then pin point where the leak is. The coil packs are also prone to fail after a remap if they are not new, I always ask customers to get new coil packs fitted on an S3 before a remap...

Its a long drive from Cornwall to Bills, get someone to check your car with VCDS ( and have a smoke test if vcds shows the need for one.) sort all boost leaks and faults before you go. ;)

I would also get more than one tube of the haldex oil as it takes more than 1 tube to fill it . :)

Probably got a leak, A smoke test would be the next step to find the leak, the 1.8t is well known for leaks.

take it apart and re solder the connectors where the dials are, they are hand soldered in production and a dry joint will cause it to jump around

is this the UKNSI part?

Problem found cam snapped !

My A3 ASZ Quattro cut out under hard acceleration and wont restart. A look under the bonnet and the air intake pipe had come off between the maf and the aluminium air intake pipe, put it back on and did a scan. Got a fault code of no signal from crankshaft sensor, so I replaced the sensor...

Hi, old fuel, boost leak or MAF.

Hi Beachbuggy, The current ECU settings are listed further up the thread: HW: 0261206794 SW: 1037360154 Engine: 1.8L R4/5VT SW upg.: 8N0906018J The wiring loom is: Custom made/retro fitted for the BAM engine by a pro race auto sparky, not the mechanic who fitted the engine ! ;o) If the...

Hi All, In reply to some of the sugestions: It still has the AMK file in the ecu, when the mechanic changed the engine he just changed the engine. We want to push this engine so want the right software on the ECU to use the VVT properly. I have put a fresh Audi BAM file (8N0906018J) on, and...

The car in question !

Hi, apart from running the wrong software for the engine and not using the VVT, an extra 15 hp is there to be used, the extra 400 rpm and 55-60 bhp from a stage1 remap, after that there are lots of mods to do. Really want the correct ECU software in place to start with. There is no hunting...

Hi, I am helping a friend who has had the BAM engine fitted to his s3, I read the ecu to see what software it is running and it still had the 210bhp ECU flash. HW: 0261206794 SW: 1037360154 Engine: 1.8L R4/5VT SW upg.: 8N0906018J I tried a BAM file 8N0906018BH / 0261207751 / 1037362999...

AMD is less than 2 hours away...

Hi, I have just had some new brakepads (mintex) fitted on the front and they are getting very hot without any 'hard' braking, is this usual ? Or are the calipers in need of repair / replacement ? Many thanks for any replys. Myke

You could swap your front and rear tyres and see if it still happens , I guess your front have more tread hence rear wheel skid not front wheel skid, which do you prefure ;o)

ouch , I may have a fault in the abs controller ;o(

Anyone had an abs sensor fail and picked it up with VCDS ? Did it show up as an intermittent fault on the ABS controller as well ? Myke

Has anyone got a copy of vagcom 409.1 I could have as mine is corrupt ? ;o(
