retroboost83

I will do this for £100 collected or £110 delivered that is the absolute lowest i can go.

Fingers crossed that will solve it matey, iv also been out first thing this morning and cleaned the throttle bodie which was defo in need of doing especially on the inside.

Hi ken cheers for the reply fella i forgot to mention it had the 17705 code plus 2 other codes deleted when the work was done. My wife has a 30 mile per day commute mostly on dual carriageway so im sure we can check it that way and if no change then look into whats causing it. The other code i got apart from the 17705 was 16795 which is the sai system incorrect flow detected, so iv decided to follow the sai removal guide on here and get it off.

Right everyone we seem to have cured the missing boost now, but now the boost has returned it seems like it randomly flutters or dumps the booost at times which is very noticeable. I was thinking this could be either the 007p valve which i recently serviced or the n75 valve? Any help would be much appreciate

Update for anyone interested Agu charge pipe and silicone agu pancake hose arrived and was planning on fitting it this friday, but whilst at work today i got a call from the wife saying the engine light had come on and car had lost power etc. so told her to take it to ian at tqc who got the car in for us and it was diagnosed to have coil number 3 down so a new coil ordered and fitted along with the agu charge pipe and hose, cant report back on it yet as not picking the car up until tomorrow.

Daily bump

Still for sale

Thanks for that andy last night i managed to source a lower brace complete with nuts and bolts via facebook for £20 delivered which i thought was not too bad at all

Cheers for that dean i have decided to stick with the oe hose for now. Dont suppose any of you know what size nuts and bolts are required to fit the audi tt lower front brace?

Turns out the creation 90deg boost hose just was not a good fit at all and no matter what we did it just kept popping off so we refitted the oe hose and hey presto no more popping off and no more boost leak. Whilst we were at it we also fitted a new set of rear brake pads as one side were quite worn down.

Hi guys i have for sale a brand new and boxed borg and beck solid flywheel conversion kit bought for my octavia vrs mk1 20v turbo. I paid £165 for it and would let it go for £125 delivered or £115collected from stoke on trent. This was bought as i thought we had a flywheel problem with my car but it turns out it was something much less serious. I can supply pics etc for anyone interested

Hi guys i have for sale a brand new and boxed borg and beck clutch and flywheel kit bought for my octavia vrs mk1 20v turbo. I paid £165 for it and would let it go for £140 delivered or £130 collected from stoke on trent. This was bought as i thought we had a flywheel problem with my car but it turns out it was something much less serious. I can supply pics etc for anyone interested

Sorry for the delay in updates guys Right onto the boost leak i got to drive the car and boost is absolutely peeing out so i have ordered the revised lower boost hose and i had a dig around under the bay and low and behold i find one of the aftermarket creation boost hoses that was fitted by gt motorsport is not fitted correctly and in fact the jubilee clip was not even attached to the end that meets the charge pipe. I had a go of getting it back on straight and tightening the clip back up but the clip just keeps slipping off the hose. At this point my bloody glass back decided to kick in and i had to leave it as it was. Anyway i have the car rebooked in with a skoda specialist in stoke named tqc they are going to fit the new clutch and flywheel along with sort the upper 90deg boost hose and fit the lower revised hose at same time fingers crossed this will solve the boost issue Next month i will be ordering the audi tt lower front strut brace to fit along with the upper brace and uprated dogbone mount. I have also priced up replacing the suspension with oe items and it comes to £421 so iv seen a full kit by koni sr-t that lowers 20mm all round that comes in at £358 that looks as if it will be the choice when the time comes to carry out the job.

Sorry to revive a really old thread but i always think best to do this than make another one Could anyone please give the relevant info on what is needed to carry out the wellycooler mod and if possible links to the parts in question. many thanks

Thanks for that andy Think i have solved the boost leak the forge service kit turned up yesterday so i removed the 007p and replaced the 3 o rings and the valve which seems to be a revised version with an o ring sitting at the bottom of it as well. When i removed the 007p i tried the simple test to see how much the body dropped and it virtually dropped all the way down after i had serviced it id say it drops no more than a few mm so defo an improvement. the wife reports that it is much better now, i have yet to drive the car but will be doing so on saturday

Hi andy thaks for the reply matey i will certainly do the front lower brace as wel then and i now know to go for the whiteline rarb When fitting the front upper brace did you need any nuts/bolts etc if so what sizes were they fella

Got quite a boost leak on the motor atm not sure where its coming from but i have read the lower boost hose was a common fault and as far as i can see or find out it has never been replaced for the later revised hose. I have purchased a vgc second hand revised hose and will get it fitted asap. Hopefully this will resolve the issue if not then it will be a case of finding and fixing the leak. The rainsport 3 tyres have made such a big diiference to the car money really well spent i also purchased an audi tt front upper strut brace and that will go on tuesday along with the new flywheel and clutch. Next month we are gong to replace the rear springs and shocks and top mounts and the following month the same for the front suspension keeping it all oe as i want to keep thr car as practical and comfy as possible im sure a suspension refresh along with new bushes combined with the strut brace should keep things nice and tight etc. Couple of questions is it worth getting the audi tt lower front brace? And what rear anti roll bar is best to get? Are there any from the vw group that can be fitted with good results?

Car is booked in with my mate at gt motorsport to get the clutch and flywheel fitted for tues 30th june i will fit the dogbone bushes myself when i get a but of spare time one weekend. Full set of rainsport 3s being fitted tomorrow morning absolutely love these tyres cant stress how good they are

Cheers for that ken decided stay with oe clutch n flywheel as it will be more than adequate for what we need managed to pick up a borg and beck flywheel and clutch for £165 Also taken your advice on the powerflex dogbone bushes and getting a pair of them this week.

Does anyone have the part numbers for oe suspension springs front and rear

Thanks for the reply ken i had a feeling it was the flywheel. Thinking of going down the ecs stage 1 clutch and solid flywheel conversion kit. Im also considering the ecs dogbone kit Drop me an inbox about the decat downpipe you have matey could very well be interested

Hi everyone been a hectic last few weeks for me and the wife. Anyway onto the car im still yet to purchase a revises lower boost hose and decat downpipe but rest assured this will be done in good time. I have yesterday bought a set of uniroyal rainsport 3 tyres for the car and these will be fitted next saturday morning. The car has developed a sort of sqeaky/rattly noise coming from the front end at low speed/revs we were thinking maybe worn bushes dogbone etc but when i finally got to drive the car i dipped the clutch whilst the noise was there and the noise intanstly stopped. So im not sure if it needs a new clutch or flywheel? Any help on this much appreciated. My plan is to sort whatever the above problem is but regardless i have decided to refresh the front end bushes on the car for powerflex ones these will be dogbone front and rear, front wishbone and top mounts. The bushes on our car could have very possibly done 147k so id say are pretty worn. I am also going to be changing the springs and dampers for h&r 20mm springs and koni dampers this matched to the new rubber and new bushes should make the car a little better on the handling front.
