Name my car!

thats what ive been told- assuming you share the b5 tank which is 16.7 gallons thats what I would do

right on, thanks so much.  definitely nice to hear some good tips from people that are knowledgeable.

and to the OP, thread is worthless without pics, LETS SEEE IT!

Thanks for the tip too, I'm taking pics as soon as I get it out of winter mode. We need more people in the Volkswagen/Audi Cult.

Goofy Titties Inside. you could call it GTI for short...

my turtle's name..

The deverginator

we deal solely in BG products at work and I pound through 5-10 cans of various bg products a day. 44k is the intake shit, like you said. There is actually some pressurized intake/ injector cleaners that we run aswell, but you need a proper mister for the intake one, and a pressurized canister deal for the fuel injectors. I didnt know that bg shit actually worked... its always just been part of our service packages, haha.

opps, 44k isnt "intake shit" I meant to type "in tank".

all the common issues i see at work with 1.8t is
they chew through timing belts
cam and crank seals leak often
pcv system is awful
vac hoses are awful
oil sludge if synthetic is not used
n75 valve
coil pack failure
front outer cv boots are awful, they crack every 40k km
control arms often wear and they have quadra-link suspension so multiple control arms per wheel
tie rods seize very easy
if you live in a wet climate, the sunroof drains on the floor in the drivers foot well and there is lots and lots of wiring and unprotected splices under the carpet ( even the comfort control module is under the carpet, wtf?)
secondary air pumps crack and start to sound like a jet engine at cold startup.


this is all basic shit off the top of my head. All fairly easy fixes but for a guy who cant do the work himself they add up very fast. My major advice to you is to not let it all pile up.
