rodney 17 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 one (or two) check(s) on the pinking (& to some extent lumpy idle)... you are running on super unleaded? Is/are your coilpack' date=' plugs (worth a clean anyway) and Lambda all good..???? I am currently running on standard unleaded at the mo, does it matter?I checked the coilpack, plugs and replaced the HT leads, just to be certain. What would be an indication or test to prove the Lambda?What do you have in your charger catch can???? Is it full... The kit no longer supplies a catch can, so I am looking into getting my own solution for that!Just for idiots guide here as we wanna be sure mate.... Air filterMAFChargerThrottle bodyMy setup is as above, I have checked, doubled checked all of the pipework.As above keep the faith you'll get there... Then woo Hooooooooooo - Thanks, each step gets me closer to positive boost.[/quote']Fuel yes mate as you have upgraded it needs that - only full fat fuel from now on Pop one plug out at a time clean re-gap it then hold it (with pliers) against the block and have a mate turn over quiclkly.. looking for a good blue spark on each.. or swap with a mate and see if there is any differenceLambda is usually a code so just check it.. as you're looking/focussed alswhere easy to miss a new codeHope it helps...

*P3nfold* 0 Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Thanks RCF, damn full fat fuel!! lolI was going to replace the plugs with the BKR7E but need to gap them.Does anyone know the gap size please? Its an easy test quick change of the plugs.I am running a 3 bar fpr due to the map from United. Link to post Share on other sites

*P3nfold* 0 Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Will do I will test tomorrow and post the output.I am sure its something simple. Link to post Share on other sites
UnitedMotorsport 55 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 I think it is simply either an air leak or the MAF is giving skewed values as Kev said earlier. Link to post Share on other sites
*P3nfold* 0 Posted August 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Response from VF regarding my charger and boostHello Martin, The engine should go into positive pressure almost immediately. But, the boost will not be at it's maximum until the rev limit. For example 8 psi at 7000 should mean about 2-4 psi at 3500.

*P3nfold* 0 Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Decided to move the MAF further away from the charger, so I bought some 1 meter 2ply air ducting. I have also bought new t-bolt clamps and 19mm blanking plug to block off the crank house pipe inlet on the charger inlet pipework. The crank house breather is to be plumbed to the passenger side oil catch. Link to post Share on other sites
*P3nfold* 0 Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Block 9999' date='0,General Engine Data99,1,,Engine Speed99,2,,Coolant Temp99,3,,Lamda Regul.99,4,Lamda Reg.,Oper.Mode[/quote']I checked vag.com yesterday evening a few times but could not find the above as block 99 did not exists in vag.comI found the below groups004 - Lamda006 - Fuel Trim009 - Air Mass DataThe edition of vag.com used is 908.1 and this is only supported software for the cable revision number.I also could not find Lamda Reg.,Oper.Mod anywhere sorry.I will revisit this step once I move the MAF,, blank off the crank house breather and air filter. I am hoping that this sorts out the issue.I will be honest, I am now not 100% sure that the engine is pinking as it may be tappets related. Though I did not have the issue before! Would changing the cams and oil cause the sound to start? Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Anyone near you with a proper RossTech lead and the latest copy of VCDS?Tappet noise is persistent, pinking is engine load related.Moving the MAF away certainly helps. I had quite a long section of ducting under the wing, but I was on OBD1 and needed to keep the MAF horizontal. OBD2 seems less fussy about orientation but OEs do fit MAFs at certain angles for a reason though. Does your MAF have the air straightener fitted still? Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what a air straightener is tbh? Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Air straightner is the black plastic grid inside the MAF Link to post Share on other sites

FishWick 21 Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Hmmm, changing oil and cams won't cause the tappets to go into meltdown..... did you make sure the little green O ring didn't drop out of the chain cover? This would be the section the tensioner bolt screws into. Without that little O ring, your chains won't tension properly and that will make a deathly racket.... Link to post Share on other sites
*P3nfold* 0 Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 I will check that tomorrow Kev.When changing the cams do you need to empty the oil in the tappets before fitting the new cams? The cams are Schimmel 263. Link to post Share on other sites
