Sunset Red 1.4 TSI(TFSI) GT Sport - daily drive & track car
rex:
And a small update...
Last week the remaining parts arrived:
So, by Friday the car was ready.
I decided to go slow to make sure all the components were ok. So for the next 4 days I didn't push the car. During this period I was very careful with the engine's behavior. Monday and Tuesday the car began to make strange noises. So I visited the mechanic and he said the roller cam followers were to blame. I asked him to take a closer look and then left for work. Unfortunately, after 15 minutes he called back and he said that 5 minutes after I left we wanted to go for a test run and he didn't have the chance because a missfire occurred on Cylinder 4. The took the coils and plugs out and he saw there was oil in the cylinder. He then showed me the spark plug and the cylinder and I decided to leave the car over there to have a complete review of the engine. Basically the oil is entering the combustion chamber either from the bottom or from the top. I will have some new cylinder seals and check the cylinder head once more to eliminate the problem.
I opened up the engine to eliminate a small missfire issue and ran into a lot of problems :sad1:. A new engine is starting to make sense (twincharge or 2.0 TFSI)...
Hopefully everything will be ok and I will be able to visit Nurburging and Hungaroring in October.
All the best! :drinking:

Sorry to hear REX, 2,0 TFSI makes sense, more reliable and cheap by now and mated with the LOBA LO04xx, (I'm a bit partial i know :laugh: ) youre going to show the rest of your trackday buddies your rear wheels :happy2:
Hurdy:
:sad1:
Ouch! Sounds to me like you've deliberately broken the engine so you can get a newer improved one! :wink: :laugh:
Ed30 block and a Loba should perk things up Rex. :jumping:
