    BPY cold start noise

    After a decade plus of positive experience with my 06 GTI I decided to pick up another BPY in a 08 A3 DSG to use as a daily. I've gone through the car and it's been great for about a year. The only nagging issue I can't resolve is a loud buzzing sound at start up when the temp is below about...

    Spark Plug Resistance Gurus....talking 1k Ohm or 5K Ohm plugs.

    Not sure what issues you are/were having but this was my “ignition” problem-resolution: My APR K04 tune started having a high RPM choppy/hesitation/misfire after installing an intake. I tried many different plug and gap combinations some made a difference but none fixed it 100%. I finally...

    Eurocars build thread

    Good to see you’re still at it. On the spare, why not pack a wheel spacer along with a space saver from a R or PP MK7 GTI to clear your brakes? Also, think about using a aluminum rear subframe from an 8p A3 3.2Q. They are cheap at the junk yards that I’ve seen.

    VCDS MB 091 and 093

    Both measurements were done with engine almost at temp after about 10 minutes of driving.

    VCDS MB 091 and 093

    I have two 2.0t ea113's, my weekend MKV and a daily A3. I've replaced the chain and tensioner on both relatively recently. I'll update with my group 93 values within the next couple of days.

    VCDS MB 091 and 093

    Just the way I interpreted the video, it seemed to me like he was saying that anything beyond -6 degrees was no good. But you're right, he doesn't explicitly state that -10 degrees is excessive.

    VCDS MB 091 and 093

    Check out a Youtube video by user "Decimal Tenths" called "How to : TFSI TIMING BELT and CHAIN". He does a good job explaining MB 91 and 93 on a ea113. According to the video, -10 deg is excessive. Is the car running OK? I've done cams on a couple of these engines and it is very easy to...

    2006 GTI K04, 6 codes, car barely runs

    I'm pretty sure the MAF voltage and boost sensor codes were due to me messing with connectors and/or pressure testing the intake plumbing.

    2006 GTI K04, 6 codes, car barely runs

    Update: Cleared codes, drove around the block - only the O2 sensor codes came back. Replaced upstream O2 sensor with Bosch OEM replacement, problem solved.

    2.0t FSI AC delete serpentine belt

    Hey, this is pretty cool. With the belt being so easy to swap (5 minutes), it might be worth temporarily swapping in the AC delete belt for track days etc. It would save the compressor from taking the constant high RPM beating, and might provide better throttle response for rev matching for...

    Direct air intake

    I switched the cone on my P-Flo to AEM Dryflow (21-202DK) which is slightly larger than the original and made it noticeably quieter.

    Possible Cam Chain/Tensioner Wear?

    I swapped my chain and tensioner as a precaution at 100,000 miles. I had the startup chain slap sounds for years and figured I’d get a jump on it. What I found was that the chain and tensioner were fine, however the plastic guides showed very slight wear, barely enough to feel with a fingernail...

    Props. Keep on trucking, pretty soon these MKV’s will be “vintage”. Time flies.

    Spark Plug Resistance Gurus....talking 1k Ohm or 5K Ohm plugs.

    I tried a bunch of different plugs and gap last year trying to fix a high rpm misfire. NGK PFR8S8EG performed the best at the time. They are 1k ohm plugs made for VAG (B8 S4 3.0SC). Eventually my issue was resolved with a tune update to APR K04 v1.3 “Rich Fix”. Before it was requesting 0.75...

    Cracks a d fissures in K03

    It’s an engineering or materials science flaw. The K04-64 has a superalloy (inconel) hot side, not cast iron like the K03, which is why you never see these failures on K04’s. That said, I did about 100k miles APR SII on my K03 without it cracking.

    My second build on my 08 GTI

    A fews things to consider: - The MK6R is more expensive, but will also hold value much better than a GTI. I’ve heard heard mixed opinions on the IE450. Search the Vortex MK6R forum and you’ll see some cars had issues. Also, 500whp is probably too much for the stock CRZA rods/pistons so be sure...
