    Is the tensioner in its fully retracted position when you are trying to install it? If not, that's your problem. If it is, im not sure what's going on but googling sr20 timing chain tensioner install should find you the info you need.

    Increase boost to make up for lack of compression. This always works. Sorry, couldn't help myself. Try different gauge before stressing out.

    Yeah ok, still cones with pot luck Audi reliability and warranty that takes the cheapest fix way instead of the proper way. Audi/VW engineer it that way it seems but randomly a good one slips through and does a heap of untroubled km. RARE. I have an older Q7 and it's been good (knocks on wood) but it scares me how much it would cost to fix if things went pear shaped. Luckily it's worth bugger all and i could just part it out and scrap it.

    You could probably afford to buy it but will struggle with the cost of replacing dodgey cdi injectors, back of engine timing chains, blocked dpfs and the rest. You should buy 1.

    Rear rotors ive cracked plenty of, quite frequently. Slotted,plain, dimpled they all suffered the same fate. Surprisingly the plains cracked the quickest but also had the harshest pads. Definitely heat related issues, the rears being smaller, thinner and getting less airflow. Im currently running some dim sim brand rda dimple copy rears. Yep copies of rdas, wtf. Have done a few track days and show no signs of cracks, yet.

    Agree with rda being great, especially for the money. Even plain rotors crack, see in your pic above, the little micro cracks. Once you have a lot of those, they start to join up and become the big gash. All rotors do it eventually, some just last longer than others. I just replaced a pair of $1100 stoptech 2 piece rotors due to micro cracks. Didn't feel like living dangerously any longer. Id been ignoring them for a while but recently got to the point where there was just too many to ignore any longer.

    Found this on ebay, all the usual places have put them up to over $100, this one is 80 odd https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F233396814118

    Rename thread to Dose's better home and gardens with a little bit of garage too. Nice bathroom habib, does it make 500kw?

    Stock gasket is best here, the multi layer permaseal, cometic etc are much thinner than the OEM gasket which moves the whole exhaust in towards the head 5-7mm, consequently the holes for the exhaust support brackets then won't line up properly and will need to be modified to fit again. Mr Nissan did well with this gasket. Only advantage of the mls ones is they're reusable many times if the manifold comes off again, the Nissan ones tend to pull apart as it bonds itself to the faces. I still vote oem Nissan.

    Will need a 1km headstart, actually it's got some sort of linglong runflats on it. Make that a 2km headstart and it'll blow everything away. Or i could just bring a real car along. From recent sau Sandown track day.

    I'll have to put the mk6 golf r on my known good vag list?
  24. admS15
    Good idea. Out of warranty euro is a big risk unless it's a known reliable model. Then it's just a calculated slightly smaller risk.

    Coolant top up does not sound good. I know of another bloke who bought a brand new s3 for his wife and from new was losing coolant, eventually audi pulled the head and fixed the issue. Not sure exactly what it was but its fixed now.
