IS it possible for the icm to slowly burn out causing a weeker spark over time therefore stuttering under load sometimes?

Wow im impressed what you can do with these engines. So to see 200bhp on these for example could you just remap and then??? can you just put in new nozzles with out any problems then or do they have to be mapped in?

hi mate ive been looking at these myself and curious of tuning potential. A chip makes a massive diffrence apparently. For example more-bhp.com quote for the 150bhp model increase to 177bhp and torque from 310nm to 385nm. Other than that id be curious what else, exhaust etc? How do you find the...

Random question, ive read loads and loads of posts about coil packs and how prone they are! I think this is what is wrong with my car but when i took mine out the other day to clean them I noticed that the "stalk" of the coil pack has a diffrent part number, i googled it and found out they are...

Yea thats my problem i think, its been chipped already but i wanted to upgrade to k04-15 but if i did that cant really get much gain as i cant get it mapped. :( If im honest that doesnt sound like pump to me, sounds more like a sticky thermostat :) if it was pump it would heat up very quickly.

Cheers for the comments guys :) Future plans are :- fit leather interior, and i cant decide whether to change my wheels to! Then i want to go onto a hybrid turbo but i would need to look into remapping as no where seems to be able to on my ecu only chip it. Hopefully someone on here might be...

Following on, i then fitted a new 3" down pipe and an s-line wheel. Also my rs4 wheels were battered and kirbed so i sold them and i bought a spanky new set of lambo replica wheels, they are all now wrapped in a set of bridgestone potenza's After that my other half bought me new...

Im new to the forum so though id make my project thread to fill you all in to what i have done so far (in brief)then i can update as i go along. :) When i bought her the previous owner gave me a votex kit so first job i did was fit that along with a ****** good machine polish. Then i...

Im driving a 96 1.8t and ive had appauling mpg recently and been chasing this for ages and i didnt get a fault code either. I found few things that affected my mpg badly. 1) my lamba needed replacing as one of the wires had frayed not giving correct signal (still no fault code) 2) Cold weather...

Hi all im new to the site, im always nosing through the posts however not posted much up to this point. Im needing a little help in regards to lowering my car, she has already been lowered by the previous owner however I have no idea how much i would take a guess at 40mm however I cant say for...
