It's spreading. I've just bought a dirty derv today. Still using my s3 daily tho.
What you got?
Think we need to start a new thread "8L owners support vehicles"

Added the tuning box to mine. Nice easy job and extremely noticeable difference. The increase in mpg is immediately noticeable too.
Worth looking out for mate and easily justifiable. à ½Ã¸Â
it's a cheap daily driver mate, replace with standard as cheap as possible.
If you get the performance one, and a map, it'll only eat the clutch, and land you another £500 Bill and more work.
Save funds for the Monster this thread is all about.
does it come with snow tiresI've now got my push bike fixed to save me even more money by riding to work
And to get fitter

Does anyone know if the 1.9tdi's have simular oil pick up issues to the 1.8t? If so will pull the sump off whilst I'm at it?
I don't think so.
I did mine and there was nothing wrong. It was really clean.
The pick up is also part of the pump. so you have to buy both.
Not sure I agree with you, Last 1.9tdi ATD I had was a seperate pickup.. Which was blocked!
Cheers guys will drop the sump for piece of mind.....the tdi pd camshaft is a bit more envolved than the 1.8t, thought I'd be finished by now lol
I like changing the cam on a pd, it's a satisfying job! Hope you've got new bearings and stretch bolts, the bolts like to snap if re-used lol.
Is that the same engine where they had issues with the injector loom that runs in the cam cover?
can see injector wires inside the cam cover in the above pic! So strange!!!

Dude, it totally needs a GT42 strapped to it.
Also, can you get your S3 finished? I'm over for Christmas so a passenger ride would be nice. Sort it out already.
I once did a 1.8 Ford TDI head that made 300 horse power's with a massive 500 NM of torque's ( top gear style )

Seeing as you're making the effort to travel half way round the world, I guess I could make the effort and drive 30 mins down to pompey yea, why not
Sorry for the Hijack Stace, although you've already Hi-jacked your own thread with all this tdi nonsense
Stacey.
on your s3 what condition was your cylinder head in? Was it fully rebuilt?
fully done, it was a mint head that didn't need guides.
Head was ported, polished, exhaust ports matched to TSR manifold, ferrea valves and spring kit fitted, valves were lapped in and spent a day doing it and head was then pressure tested after all the work.
The head was sent to Stacey to fit lifters and cams
I have offered to check the head over for free as i stand by work and if theres a problem i will fix it
