Right well give it a service, oil, filters, (no need to do the plugs ;) tis a diesel so there are only glow plugs) There arnt many things thatll cause knocking, but do have a look at the aux belt tensioner, its on the left of the engine, under the boost pipe from intercooler to inlet, i had a...

Make sure it comes with the right O-ring, mine didnt.... what i nightmare....

When was it last serviced? The fuel filter been changed? Been filled up from a reputable petrol station with decent fuel? Have a check around the Oil cap for mayo, and the dipstick too. Have a look in the coolant res for some signs of oil. Check the aux belt and if you can, just whip off the...

It'll ease pressure on the turbo, less pressure on the output side to try and slow it down by exhaust gasses. Full straight through exhaust is what id be going for ;) get rid of that back box.

Whats the quality of the JOM kit like compared to the Koni. Are you really just paying for the KONI name, or will it give a superior ride/ handling characteristics over the JOM's?

It depends, id say 350 isnt much for a shell with no problems and just needing a new engine. someone will have a right bargain, but then again, i dont buy these things....

ASV engines are pretty easy to come by so i would just get a new lump for it. :)

kwik-fit say you get your money back if it's not 10% cooler or something like that too :)

audi one is VNT and the arosa one is wastegate so i think you have to take the N75 from the audi too, not sure about the ECU though, should just be a case of a custom map.

I may also limp from the high oil temperature, depending on how long you can overboost for. The MAP sensor not reading over a set amount may not put the engine into limp itself. 150 celcius is hot!

Well thats what i was thinking, as the oil is thinnner its getting hotter. What you using at the moment?

When did you last change the oil?

Surely its just easier to get a small oil cooler? Still getting the correct boosting as your keeping the oil colder. You can allways block it off if its taking too long to get hot in the winter. In theory id imagine a front mount will only make your overboosting worse as the MAP sensor will see...

Suppose you could kind of call it judder, ive noticed it a little bit, it just doesnt pick up or do much under 1700 rpm foot to the floor, then once it gets to 1800-3500 it pulls like feck. You getting more/less judder than when the engine drops below idle (setting off ect)

So are most people running LED sidelights too then? i Had some basic 4LED ones which have lasted fine, ive just up-graded to some 5LED super bright ones to use more of the refractor, and they dont seem to like the heat from the main's tbh although they are alot better and brighter, so having a...

id guess at a seal around the themostat/coolant temp sender. they are all around that height. Have a feel around that area for damp patches.

The CCV shouldnt have much effect on the turbo tbh, there is so little going in compared to the air/fuel, it just gets burned straight away, its the the fact it has so many places to land and collect on, (all intake pipe-work, compressor side of the turbo, intercooler ect). The sludge that...

I would advise disconnecting it. I have and noticed more part throttle response. It also keeps your inlet manifold/valves cleaner, having less soot build upon them. The reason that the EGR is there, is to get the engine to EU standards, the only thing it does is reduce NOx on part throttle. Just...

^^ which starts the slippery slope to a modified leon :cartman: I need a re-map....

Just thought id ask what everyone is running in thier fogs and main beams as ive just fitted 2 pairs of 100W ring Rally Sport's they look bright as feck even in the day-light, crouched down to get level with them, and jesus, couldnt see for 5 minutes :happy: Still have to see what they are...
