To follow on, this is my DTM
Perhaps someone knows some history of it?
As said, it's throwing the ol' P2293 fault code. Will pull and pull then hit a wall about 80, do nothing with my foot to the floor for maybe 5-10 seconds, then pull again, then nothing. Not an issue really since the speed limit is 70
but I'd like it fixed.
Bought it with no experience of TFSI motors (last few cars have been an Impreza, 2 Mustangs and an Audi S2) but knew it wasn't running quite right and was prepared for a bit of outlay to get it running spot on. Interior is mint, body will polish up good, handles well and alloys are mint, so a little motor tinkering didn't scare me off as I don't mind getting my hands dirty.
PCV is FUBAR and is being replaced with standard latest revision this weekend. Piston style DV to go on at the same time.
Coils and plugs were done last weekend for the red R8 items. The coils in the car were 3 different types including one that was about an inch shorter than the others :/
Thermostat needs doing, that looks fun...
The car came with a fuel pump cam follower included, so the previous owner was clearly aware of an issue, but my fuel pressure woes get interesting when looking at the history. Cam follower and timing chain done 2 years ago, a little over 10k. I'll replace it anyway and inspect things this weekend but all indications point towards it being a worn cam lobe. C'est la vie. If/once that's confirmed I'll be replacing the inlet cam, cam chain, new HPFP (vismotorsport seem to be good value and reports) and timing belt. When I'm happy that it's in good standard nick it looks like a high flow cat, full exhaust and a stage 2 map gives this motor some decent poke.
