You could have a worn oil pump or a partly clogged pickup. if the sump wasn't dropped I'd do that now and get a look. The older 1.8t had a sludging issue if certain grades of oil were used and mine went bang by blocking the oil flow to the cam chain tensioner. When we dropped the sump, just a...

Due to the fact your turbo bearings failed, and now you have a P0011 code, I'd wonder if your oil is clean, filter fresh and oil pressure good. Poor flow to the hydraulic actuator for the cams could cause rough idle and this P code. That could have killed the previous turbo. Was it flushed / new...

What fault codes do you actually get then?

Well done mate. Sounds like you've cracked it.

Not sure, if some are not connected you may just throw error codes when the ignition goes on. I'd make sure all 4 are hooked up including the one you want to recode

good stuff, I have one of those little ones I only use it for glow plugs etc, brilliant wee thing. Thats the one I linked to ya, the 5-25 one.

Oh aye definitely, auto is the way to go on a crap commute, my next car will be an auto or dsg for sure.

The ends do look pretty badly crusted up eh

Hmmmm...yeah this will be my last Audi.

Sound, good luck with it mate.

Why not check if the current numbers match now. If they don't, you may get away with just recoding one and either way at least you'll know the codings are accessible.

Should be mate, let us know how you get on eh.

Yeah i might change mine this year but definitely by next year for sure. This time I'll spend more money to get a much newer motor with less miles on it. I was a bit hasty when I got this one, the money was burning a hole once my original choice fell through. (Wasn't as nice up close) and the...

Well the injector coding is still in Engine 01 > Adaptation 10 > Channel 71 to 74.
