It happens at least a few times virtually everytime I come on here.. I know this isn't the 'problems with the forum' section - but.... no-one reads that to see if anyone needs answers

Hi, Not been on here for quite a while, my TT 8N has been off road for a couple of years, after doing some more modifications (re-porting chinafold collector to same width as AET hybrid, relocation of battery to boot, 64mm map sensor pipe, and clutch) Sadly, the clutch is slipping with...

so it is a knock, miss, cough, spit, struggle for about 4 seconds when I am starting the car in the morning if I just turn the key with the clutch depressed, unless I give it some gas. the coolant level is stable and although it is losing a little bit of oil I am pretty sure it is leaking on...

I have used an excellent local garage for all my "too difficult for me" or "if it goes wrong i am stuck" work. So car MOT'd needed a CV boot which i paid £60 or so - I assumed this would be replacing an emergency temporary one i had previously fitted, when under the car last weekend I noticed...

Hi I am looking for a set of medium injectors for my K04 Hybrid build, I am hoping for around 330BHP in it's final form with new pump and cat back an pro map. but this month I will add injectors and get the alignment looked at. I have seen these from KSM or am I wasting my time with anything...

Anyone thought about this oil?

This downpipe fitted my s3 perfectly. I have undone the downpipe to ensure it is rotated as much as possible 1mm movement. Are the engine mounts different? Eg length of dog bone? (As I fitted my S3 dogbone mount with its yellow power flex upgrades) I think if the dog bone was 5mm longer that...

I am in the process of buying the oil and oil filters for completing my re-build (hopefully this month - November). The items which touch the oil and I am unsure of their impact are: skimmed degreased head new exhaust valves relapped inlet valves, new rings (hopefully gapped correctly <-- my...

Hi, as part of my TT rebuild I am fitting my 3inch downpipe and 200cel sports cat. On my S3s last MOT they struggled to get it through the emissions test. So i am thinking about trying to clean the sports cat before fitting it. I have some 'cataclean' to try, has anyone tried something like...

So I am pretty sure a 5mm Allen bit fell through the unbunged starter ring hole when I repaired the alternator freewheel pulley on my TT (Come on its the same) - you need to remove the inlet manifold and I lost a bit from the screwdriver. So I am going to remove the starter motor and buy an...

so spirited drive and a misfire hmmm scanned = cylinder 1 misfire - changed the coil pack - went for a run all good again 5 minutes later including "putting" the car under some pressure 3rd gear up hill on boost for a few seconds misfire scanned cylinder 4 misfire changed the coil pack no more...

It occurs when an ABS light flashes around slow tight corners or fast corners - left or right. the traction cuts out at the same time. I have added the missing earth lead to the haldex. I am wondering whether a rear wheel speed sensor might cause this? Thanks

I'm trying to locate a road noise from my TT, yeah I know haircut, brushes, blowdry etc. but it is th same running gear. I have a noise which is not the tyres and I dont think it is wheel bearings - has anyone had a noise from the transfer box at say 60-80 mph ?

It takes in Log files and creates pretty charts, not sure about the accuracy of the "money shot" default chart :) http://my-worst-car.co.uk/ecuLogs/RunAfterTimingUpdate.csv if there are any experts here is there too much timing advance causing ****** > 5500? the IAT are only 18 degrees...

You can pick them up for about £280. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162949615977

Simple Overview Stock Map was fine Stage 1 Map under prolonged Load in 5th or 6th (> 5 seconds for example ) significantly drops power, and doesn't seem to come back immediately. Engine is still entirely stock (air filter, tip, intercoolers, spark plugs, exhaust) No faults in VagCom / VCDS...

So I got these front discs. £42 for both of them. are they some old version or something? I dont believe they are fake as the seller is actually named "Brembo" - although mine took 3 weeks to arrive, still £120 cheaper than GSF (without any codes) though.

Can anyone suggest an option to cut a down pipe and insert a v-band? Do I just buy the bits and draw a line where I want it cut and go to any old welder? It obviously needs to be the same shape otherwise it will knock on the body work. Is there an optimal place to make the cut. I am hoping I...

We all know that revving the engine when car is in neutral creates no boost pressure, but when I fit my FMIC I want to check all the hoses and clamps are good before refitting bumper and going for a drive, after having to fix them back on on the side of the road. What is the best way to test...

It apparently has a different clutch and longer gears.
