Good old 2.0 TFSI

[@jacobdzik6238]

🤣❤

[@iantaylor620]

So is the balance shaft issue a common problem? I have an Octavia VRS with the KO3 turbo engine with 112,000 miles and I'm a bit concerned!!

[@TRHamza]

@@iantaylor620 it’s not common if the car is well maintained. But well worth doing if buying a used TFSI where you don’t know the history too well

[@iantaylor620]

@@TRHamza it does have a great service history but I'm not sure what's caused it to seize on your S3. Great content by the way love the channel, and thank you for the reply.

[@ttarmo]

@@iantaylor620 They wear down and usually first drops the oil pressure. When they are grinded enough they just seize up but I think that is very rare. Usually its just oil pressure problem and you have to change the whole assembly. VIS freewheel is supposed to fix that problem preventively.

It’s always a good day when hamza posts a video

[@Teslamafia]

Enjoyed that tear down. Glad Niki showed the issue on camera.

[@DjNikGnashers]

Fascinating video. Obviously it's sad that the S3 engine ate itself, but thank you for posting the video of the strip down, it's absolutely riveting seeing each stage of the disassembly and seeing what went wrong. It's like an investigation.

[@jahblitz1]

Just don't how this guy gets an appointment at RTech so quick They got man waiting for months just for a remap 🤣🤣

Impressive how quickly he dismantled that. So just half hours labour so far then 😁

[@walther89]

there is nothing that blocks the way, also so small engine that easy to work on :p

[@nabeelahmed2750]

Balance shaft deletes are a must on these engines, a cheap preventative measure.

[@Max34557]

I have the same engine and am thinking about installing a VIS freewheel, but doesn’t disabling the balance shafts introduce more vibrations?

[@nabeelahmed2750]

@@Max34557 i never experienced any vibrations on 2 cars i had this done to however some people do get them, mainly due to old engine mounts, if you did get vibrations new engine mounts would reduce what you would feel.

[@BigHumz155]

Hamza just buy that whole S3 and use the bodyparts from yours to make it nice again, in the end of the day you have an original 83K mile S3 which is probably tidier underneath too

[@charlien8148]

First absolutely munted a m5 clutch and then detonated a s3 motor! Hamz doing it in style 🤣 loving the vids mate! Been an every episode watcher since before the grey mk5 and you never stop entering! Cant wait for the next one!

[@N1NJAKIDD]

Great to see R-Tech back on the channel, love their work. Can't wait to see where you take this. Thank god I installed the VIS balance shaft delete on my car, adds quite a bit more vibration, but I'm happy to live with it considering what's happened to yours💥💨

[@bigkaswrx8115]

I remember buying an 06 Golf GTI and it blew up (oil pump failure + blocked syphon) within half an hour of buying it 😂🤷‍♂️ I just stuck with subaru after that, rather break down in a WRX 🤷‍♂️

[@71pil]

Japanese so much better all day long..

[@andyseaton7895]

So glad I got R-Tech to do a VIS balance shaft delete cog on my Mk5 GTi. Glad you've got another engine sorted for the S3. Liking the TFSI content on the chanel again. 👌👍

[@madern7]

That S3 deserves to be fixed more then the one you have. No lie.

[@rickydub6950]

Same happened to my mates mk5 GTi; oil pump sprocket bolt sheared, chain snapped, engine rebuild £2500

[@Greig300]

Miss the old school videos like this keep it going 👍

[@vadiktanin9747]

First 2 steps if you buy TFSI EA 113! Install 2.0L TFSI EA113 roller tappet conversion kit for high pressure pump! And install a vis motorsport balance shaft delete!

I had an 07 8p s3, with a BWA motor swapped in. Crazy fun but you gotta buy them expecting the worst and hoping for the best

[@georgel.4836]

Isn't BWA 2.0 A3/TT? BHZ is the S3 motor old gen and CDL facelift same as tts afaik

Nik is an absolute master with the 1.8t, tsfi , I had a very bad experience with a anther tuner who pretty much wrecked my golf and he found the issue in about 30 min and didn't even want any money from me , just asked me to get the map removed and to get him to tune it instead.. and he was cheaper. Don't live in UK anymore but if I did and had one of these engine I wouldn't take it anywhere else

10 things to quit for all Strong Men: 1. Caring about what others think 2. Not believing in yourself 3. Not experimenting different ideas / solutions for problems (life&business) 4. Not prioritizing your health 5. Wasting your precious time 6. Wanting something (instead write a plan and work towards it) 7. Chasing meaningless relationships 8. Wasting or draining your energy from beating your meat 🥩 9. Wasting time by scrolling social media 10. Nailbiting/nailpicking habit for good (if you do it - consider stopping it as it makes you mentally weak + affects your confidence and all other areas of your life!)

In the last video didn't you say while you did the pick up you should have done the balance shaft delete dude....... Either way sounds like it was going to be one thing after another with the motor dude.
