    Kind of like the N54. Does the carbon build up on the intake valves too?

    It's got plenty of miles with a brand new turbo. What maintenance do you recommend? It does have a timing belt....

    It clogs the intake ports and valves. I know for sure depending on the circumstances, it requires a full rebuild/cleaning process that is not cheap.

    Sticky, I would copy and paste the info itself, but I'm in bed, on my phone, and lazy. But here's a great read on the carbon buildup issues.

    Being in bed and lazy is no excuse. I'm sitting here watching the NBA all star game while sipping whiskey. I'm still here.

    I recorded it. I don't really watch any sports live. I prefer everything on demand.

    That's a great read! Stupid power sapping carbon.

    I'll be hanging out at AudiBoost until you guys sober up a little.

    Waterpump with a metal impeller
    Timing belt (if this hasn't been replaced, i'd HIGHLY suggest replacing this if you're over 65k miles. preventative on this is key to not having a large maintenance bill)

    keeping a set of spare coilpacks on hand are a decent idea. VW coil packs have always been terrible. For the 1.8T a set of 4 will run anywhere from 100-200 depending your engine code. I would have at least 1 spare one though.


    also, be sure to check your oil consumption.

    Yes it does take a bit of oil. The 2.0T has forged pistons but the 1.8T does not (correct me if I'm wrong) so perhaps pistons + rings would need to be replaced? Are these motors hard on rings?

    I'm not too familiar with the 1.8T to be completely honest. But i know oil consumption can be an issue. Generally related to PVC or piston rings. I guess a leakdown test wouldn't hurt.

    I've got a little oil leak I need to fix then I'll be able to tell what is actually going on. I don't really care about anything except pistons and rings. If the PCV system is a problem I'll just remove it and run a catch can. I'd rather have to drain a can than burn oil fumes.

    Ok. I removed the factory PCV $#@! hoses and fittings and plumbed a couple garden hoses to an empty windshield washer bottle as a temporary catch can. Also, I am now drunk. Woohoo.
