Awesam

Hopefully this useful! Most of the vinration/chatter in my car is down to the dogbone insert which installed a few weeks ago. VID_20201130_132541.mp4

lol I would love to do it myself however unfortuanately I'm not gifted with much spare time due to a not so understanding wife!

For stage 2+. Ive got a K04 conversion sitting at 345bhp. I had to get the turbo rebuilt so i push the spec to a 380bhp which should be good enough to push 400bhp. Which i believe the standard injectors should be able to handle.

The GEN 1 EA888 TSI (CDL, BYK etc) can take the S3 injectors but the GEN 2 EA888 (CCZA, CCZB etc..) can not. The cheapest I've seen a set of 4 uprated injectors is 700 euros, they are usually at 1000 euros+.

Well done! How much did it cost for the injector clean? Did they change the seals aswell? Too bad the uprated injectors for the CCZ engine are so expensive.

NP, I do it tomorrow, was suppose to do it today for another member but never got a chance too.

I'm running Sachs performance clutch with a SMFW and to me it's like running a stock clutch.

Strange I've never experienced it unless as the car had it when I bought maybe I've not noticed it! I changed it to a SMFW as I could hear a knocking with DMFW and the clutch was slipping. Happy to take a audio or video send it to you to check it out. The only change I've noticed is with the dog bone insert. I went for the power clutch which not is only rated to 550 nm, the clutch pedal feels like stock and is great for a daily driver. The organic/race one is rated at 800nm and the pedal would be heavy.

I had mines replaced last year with a Sachs Performance Kit which has a single mass flywheel and I've had no issue at all. SACHS Performance Clutch Module 883089000046 I changed the slave cylinder aswell. Clutch Central Slave Cylinder (CSC) 613182654150 | SACHS (sachsperformance.com)

Think you have several issues going on, best to get Error Code scanner/VCDS to scan them. Is it a petrol or diesel? As for not reving past 2500RPM if its a diesel then could be the EGR or Crankshaft sensor. ABS light could requiring new wheel hubs are the sensor is within the hub. However you wont be 100% sure until you scan for Error codes.

Yes

lol so leads me to think ive made the right choice! Ive done >100,000 miles so mines definitely need cleaning. Would be interested to know if there is an improvement in the drivability/response from the engine after it.

Well done! How long did it take? Im waiting for a slot at R-Tech for it to get done!

Would it be possible to install the Discovery Pro MIB2.5 following the same method?

Thanks Rob. I would love to fit a virtual cockpit to mines!

Im having the same issue but not as bad as yours as it only incurs in 4th and 6th at the same rev range. I installed a GFB+ and that has helped. When you went for the remap, did you get a RS4 fuel valve and different MAP sensor installed? Ive bought one and will be installing it soon. Ill let you know it makes a difference. Also if you are still looking for a Forge Actuator, Ive got one and will let it go for much more reasonable price than Forge!

Could be that you're sub frame isn't aligned. Mines was out by 5 mm on one side and it would veer. Or could be the top mounts/bump stops.

Just an update, i sent it to AET Turbos who have inspected it and basically told me that its needs rebuilding due to wear in the shaft, cost of rebuild is £714 including VAT that will the same spec around 360 - 380bhp - the hybrid turbo must be about 8 years old. So if they do rebuild it will have a new core based on the latest technology. I'm contemplating if its worth it, i just spent £600 a few weeks ago and if i include the mechanics cost it will costs to £1k! So far i have sank £4.4k since last year on maintenance excluding the turbo rebuild costs! I have literally replaced most components on the car!

if you are interested.

Also waterpump housing may start leaking from 80-100k miles so best to factor that in aswell c£500 - £700 depending on mechanic.

Sending it to AET for an inspection, it seems the actuator nut was loose but want to ensure its not a seal. Im hoping its not needing a full rebuild.

Got the turbo taken off and its an old AET VT268 based on the K04

Personally I would rather buy it from Autodoc and pay the extra.

Have a look at these threads: and £75 for an intake manifold is amazing, im assuming that its a 3rd party part?
