TTS short shifter

[Keith Lard]

Anyone know the difference between all the different suffixes?

What would the right one be for a CR170?

[Guest]

Assuming the existing gear linkages are the same it should be the part number I gave earlier in the thread that I took off the box mine came in.

[miserablegit]

Can this be had from the stealers or TPS? What sort of money are we talking?

Audi stealers though they had to order it in. Best thing from all their snobbery the label on the box says " VW group made in Czech Rep". Which to me says Audi are using Skoda made parts rather than the other way.

Further to the PM earlier I have found a Forge short shifter on the DPM site for 75 quid plus postage.

Edit: Just browsing a few tuning sites/sellers and I stumbled across this.

Looks ok, but double what I paid for me OE tts jobbie. Worth a punt though at that price.

I like the idea of an adjustable shifter tbh, how do you find the TT-S one at 20% shorter throw than OE?

[Guest]

TTS one is good as it noticeably reduces the throw but it could still be shorter.

Okay, so having read the entire thread, i'm now totally confused!!

I have a '58 plate PRE-fl 1.8t L&K (although if someone could clear up what constitutes a FSI,TSI & TFSI I'd be much appreciated as it says TSI on the rear of the motor and in the brochure, but the original dealer's sales reciept from where I bought it brand new refers to it as TFSI... AAAAAARGH!!!), so what, if any, part do I need to get the TTS bit to work?!

Again... AAAAAAARGH!!! :think:

Ive got a FL 1.8tsi with a MQ250 gearbox and the A revision works for me, your best bet would try to look into the engine compartment, the gearbox part number is stamped on to it (its a bit difficult to spot though).

I didn't think they did the Tfsi in a 1.8, it was a Tsi or an Fsi, one being turbo charged the other normally aspirated......iirc!

Mine is definitely turbo charged so assuming you're saying that refers to the TSI, what's the difference between a TSI and a TFSI? Do the letters TSI, TFSI & FSI actually mean anything, such as GTi is iirc Grand Tourer Injection?

[Guest]

was there a 1.8 tfsi?

[Stoofa]

Mk1 vRS used a 1.8 tfsi.

There are a few marked differences between the two, the TSi has stronger internals, a HPFP able to accept up to 130 bar and an IHI turbo instead of the K03. Although that is on the 2.0 version. As to the name, Tfsi = Turbo fuel stratified injection. Tsi = Turbo stratified injection.

Lovely. And in English?

[Wayne Kerr]

Yus indeed blackpaven.

"As to the name, Tfsi = Turbo fuel stratified injection. Tsi = Turbo stratified injection". That's the same enit without the fuel word?

Yeah, doesn't mean anything to me and therefore I still don't know the difference between the two apart from one has the word FUEL in the acronym. :wonder:

Throw me a bone fella, how much do you know about engines?

The Tsi engine has tougher internal components, the fuel pump can run at a higher pressure 130 bar instead of 115, and it has a smaller turbo called IHI (not IMI as previously mentioned d'oh). It has a different air box which is not integral to the engine cover and it is chain driven not belt, on the whole it is a more efficent improvement over the Tfsi.......is that clearer?

Hi All, does anybody have a fitting guide for one of these, any tips or advice ??

[blackspaven]

Absolutely f*ck all if it's not out of a mkII golf.

There's one on the Forge site, for their short shifter. In PDF format. Steps are the same for whichever one you end up buying.

Cheers Wardy,

I did see the one on the Forge site, just wanted to be sure. Went and got one from Audi, £23+vat, can't complain at that price. Now just to fit it, that will be tomorrows job. Will let everybody know how it goes.

I asked the bloke for a discount when I got mine, amazingly he said yes and gave me 10%..

Fitted this morning, no problems. makes a nice difference to the gear change.

[PDvRS]

Can someone confirm 100% that this will fit a pre FL vRS TDI, and what the exact part number is.

Thanks
