Big Gray

I hate to say it, but from personal experience that brand of coil will be more hassle than they're worth.

Done.

Depends on weather it's got Air Con or not. It's either hidden in the middle of the dash or under the scuttle panel. With AC HBY1homV.pdf Without HBJK86ss.pdf Gray

Good luck with the sale. Somebody's going to be getting a stunning motor

They are a 22.2mm bore. Part number 6R2611019B . Gray

200 miles :o Jeezus wept. Surely there must be bits of them fouling up the valve train now? I assume it's cylinder 3 or 4 again? Gray

I get this every now and again on mine if I try starting it D, not park or neutral. Or if i'm too quick putting it in D after starting the engine. Gray

The Q variant is showing as the latest revision on ETOS all models (polo/Fabia/Ibiza with cave engine) from 10.01.2012 onwards Gray

With regards to the piston ring/oil consumption problem on these engine. The cause is nothing to do with the design or fit or how the compression rings work. The problem lies in the oil scraper ring, the problem being that they do a poor job, leaving too much oil, allowing it to get into the combustion chamber. Some my be aware of a factory modification on them for certain engines. This is from an Italian vw forum . 03C 198 151 M The old one >>09.01.2012 Composto da: Segmento Sup. 76,5x1,2 Segmento Inf. 76,5x1,2 Anello Raschiaolio 76,5X1,9 03C 198 151 Q New one from 10.01.2012>> Composto da: Segmento Sup. 76,5x1,2 Segmento Inf. 76,5x1,2 Anello Raschiaolio 76,5X2 Notice that the scraper ring is increased of 0.1mm Seems to have fixed the issue in some, others with no joy, But that is most likely down to the dealers not honing the bores before fitting!

Not too sure that's right the 2.6bar (I'd be worried if it is). By my reckoning it's boosting @ 1.6?. Did you knock the ambient off the actual sensor value? Gray

No wrapping... Yet... I was planning to wrap the the pipe from the Turbo > Intercooler in this stuff due to it's proximity to the cat, Hopefully that may be able to reduce the heat soak which I'm sure there must be at that distance (I can barely get my fingers between them) and lower the temps a little. It has also crossed my mind to wrap the body of the ITG in it too, I notice from the logs that the temps steadily rise when sat in traffic. Gray

Had another look at that today, seems the 40°C appears as a spike after the supercharger has been run, it drops back to about 2°C over the intake temp when running on just the turbo.

Oops, sorry, read IC as turbo. So sounds about right then.

200°C sounds far too high, I've got some logs from mine and the temp before the turbo was barely hitting 40°C. I'll try and get some more tomorrow, looks like there is a map sensor on the IC pipework before it enters the inlet so there should be a temp to go with it. Gray

The alternator on the vrs is a 110 amp unit. As for for load I'm not sure but iirc the electric pas pumps can draw over 50 amps on full lock. Gray
