t0m's LCR AmD Stage 2 - Turini's, Wavetrac LSD, Recaro's..
- Thread starter t0m
- Start date
As james.l is nearly the same at bills and AMD now I'd say so!
Like Tom said though as long as it puts a smile on your face then numbers are just pub talk
No idea if they've changed anything on their rollers guys you're asking the wrong person.
In other news, tonight on full WOT one of my coilpacks decided to die! I wonder if this has been on it's way out for a while... Hmm. I've had LCR's for nearly 7 years now and this is the first one to go on me. My spark plugs are overdue a change now and I've noticed for a few months the car has been firing up a lot slower than previously so she's due a freshen up defo now. New plugs and coilpacks plus usual full service bits to do.
Sounds like a Subaru now. JOY...

Bloody coilpacks, I had 3 go in the space of a week.
What are you going to do t0m, replace with OE or upgrade to the 2.0L coilpacks while you're doing it?

This is my first coilpack failure in 7 years of LCR ownership mate, think I've done alright up to now when I read other people's stories about them going so often.
I've ordered a set of red ECS TFSI coilpacks and bolt down adapters and they're getting sent out today. Gotta get rid of this Subaru noise the car is making asap
I think the earlier 1.8T's are the one's where the wiring needs changing not the 225 variants so it should be a straight fit.
If they arrive tomorrow I'll have a go at fitting tomorrow night and will let you know mate.
I've got TFSI coilpacks fitted on my 03 AMK and they're a straight swap.

Hi Tom,
From what I remember I could/it was safe to still drive my car with two coilpacks that popped; it was only under load they'd start making the engine misfire. Are yours rough even when idling? I mention in case you have anywhere to be and feel that you have no transport.

Yeah as said above, straight fit W11TX, should have no issues if you get a set.
Hi Jay,
Mine is driveable, but very rough and as I don't need it for commuting it's not too big a deal with it being out of action for a few days
It's rough on idle also. Vagcom says cylinder 2 so looks like I have 3 ok spares, but these are 1.8T oem's and not TFSI so I might order another oem one to make a full set one day if needed.Cheers for the offer mate, but my new one's are coming tomorrow and I don't need the car tonight so all good. Should have them fitted tomorrow night.
