Jeez, you'll be VERY lucky if that hasn't done any bottom end damage.

Manual check of the oil pressure and go from there. I too have never seen a dephaser fully fail. I've had them where I can hear them pull up at the unit driveway about 50yards away!

The part number that James posted up?

Just tried to order but they said I can't get it at £116 but £325

Epic. Ordering me one!!

Is it £116+vat anywhere? Or just from you?

Ok ignore my previous post. What's the fuel pressure on cranking?

Yeh porkie did that at Bedford. Completely wrecked a forged engine. If gearbox internals have edited you can bet your money that it's fucked the motor.

Missed a gear going down instead of up? Sounds like you've buzzed it. New engine time...

I say new Egr valve

Rings, piston ring land, valve, seat, cracked head, cracked bore, crap gasket.

You've answered your own question. Leak down test next to see where it's loosing it from.

The k03 on the tfsi is more like a k04 on the 1.8t.

Sorry what?

My thoughts too. I'm certain the manifold was the same. I'm blowing 267bhp through a standard 172 manifold so it can't be that much of a restriction ;)

The twin barrel cat is the same length if it has 2 lambda's. If it only has 1 lambda it's shorter.

I'll have a look for the graph. Something's wrong in my memory! It was an epic torque curve however, was back when I first had it and since then it had gone big turbo etc.

It takes a lot to snap a rod. Generally you'll bend them, and then because it's bent it then lowers the compression, this saving the rod. 20vt's are renowned for bending rods. You can do leak down test, compression test, oil pressure test, but that's about it.

Depends on the mapping :) for instance my LCR was mapped by someone up in Wolverhampton, made 287 and 293lb/ft apparently and was very peaky. Took it to badger5 in Gloucester. It then ran 265 and 240lb/ft. He did an amazing job mapping it, came away with 287bhp and 285lb/ft. Except it had...

He's talking about the f7 series.

Holy thread revival batman!

I'm not sure how much destructive testing has been done to the 1.2 tce. Try it, find out. :)

I'll be the local specialist too ;) only over in street! Myself and the girlfriend usually venture out to the meets of you want to tag along

182 wheels are 7 spoke.

My Monaco. Shouldn't have ever split it apart. Did things like reach 200bhp on the rs2, full day at Bedford on road tyres, without even having to open the bonnet.

You mean coming back into the pits with them on fire isn't correct?

Different type of k03 Sam. The k03 would be more suited to the 1.2tce. A k04 would be far too laggy.

Loss of coolant is potentially the water pump. You want to get that looked at very soon as it can cause the cambelt to snap.

Rear light connection usually. Clean it up and see if it does it then

If your running hub centric spacers with them, chances are the bolts are bottoming out on the spacer before being tight on the wheel.
