Well you've posted this on every VW/audi website known to man! Have you checked for air leaks, especially in the exhaust system area, possibly around the joint between the downpipe and cat, and the Lambda probe itself? Jules

Hi, Been Googling for 02A LSD's to see what else is out there for us. Seems to be three other off-the-shelf LSD's for the 02A that I can see (interestingly no mention of any of these on the vr6oc forums...): 1) Kaaz - this is a clutch type (i.e. true) LSD - 1.5 way - costs about the £550-£600 mark. http://www.kaazuk.com/ 2) OBX - this is a helical LSD - 2 way (?) - and is said to be a fake Quaife with poor build quality, cost about the £250 mark(!). Check eBay or Google for a seller. 3) Phantom Grip - this is an LSD conversion 'insert' for your existing differential - 2 way - cost about £2

Regarding the squeel - it could be anything - alternator, water pump, power steering and AC if you have it. However, its most likely to be the charger idler pulleys. If you have AC, there will be one of them, else two. Replace these first. Jules

Hi kev, Thanks for the replies. Is that a Cartech FMU? Cheers, Jules

Kev, Good work - we are all looking forward to seeing this in the flesh! 1) Do you have any close up pics of the oil feed adaptor on the filter housing and also going into the turbo? Where abouts did you place the oil pressure restrictor in the feed line? 2) ..and also the oil drain set up to the sump? Interested to know how this was done and how close the shafts run to your drain tube. Did you use a clear drain tube or a braided one? 3) How have you plumbed the water feeds to the turbo - did you just use the old throttle body feed? 4) Can you explain how you've managed the fueling as it is no

sparkz - how much did you pay for that manifold? Can you send me a link to where you got it from? Jules

Ahh - wonder who makes them then, and where? Jules

OK - but the R32 gearbox will have the transfer box for the rear drive - unless you are thinking of going 4WD? Just been googling, and cannot find much info on gearbox codes - does anyone have a good link?? It looks like the 2WD version of the 02M is used in the Audi TT (180bhp) and the A3 at least... ? Can anyone confirm that this holds true for UK cars? Any others its fitted in with 2WD? Jules

You are talking about the 02M, yes? Jules

..and unless he's changed it, which he could have done, thats deff a mk3 AAA engine - cos the later MK4 US engines had alloy sump pans. But like I said, it could have been changed. Jules

Mmm confusing - see this link on vortex titled "02m / o2m 6 speed into mk3 12v VR6 (56k very very beware)": http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2633108&postid=33637808 From what I can see, the 02M bolts up OK, just that you have to frig the shafts and mounts. But it appears to bolt to the engine OK?? Jules

I think the 02M used in the Audi TT fits. Can anyone confirm? This comes in various flavours which I believe include a 6 speed front wheel drive (non quattro) version. Jules

So what have you already tried? I mean, have you checked the fuses for example? Cheers, Jules

Is that an Audspeed exhaust manifold? www.audspeed.com This guy also advertises on ebay in the USA. Jules
