Hi buddy..My mate had an FR 170..must've been around 220hp..ish...and it span like mad in 2nd/3rd. I did recommend a beefed-up diff to plant the extra power to the ground and eliminate torque-steer....It was so good though..it had the looks..and plenty of torque to either 1..beat some cars on the road..and/or 2. stick with most petrol cars..it was good..til he ragged the gearbox lol....I had an Astra SRI-CDTI-xpack..It must've been tuned cos even without the sport-button on it was possessed. I need to get something else beefy-diesel and give you guys a call..very impressed..To quote Kool Keith..~ "Diesel Power!!"....

I normally tend to average about 43mpg in mine, although I don't drive for economy. I just drive in gears and use the power when needed

[linkmarine]

just for the engine mods, you looking at £9k what's the point it would be cheaper to get rs3. Love the passion but mathematically it just doesn't work.

[otacon]

your audio was on point this time nice one mate!

[jaspervanherden]

I also have the audi a3 BKD, 340k kilometers, and still running like a champ. Mapped to 185hp @ van vught tuning in Holland.

I think good maintenance is the key, also the turbo and the head is good as well.

Nice video my friend!

My stock a3 8p 2.0tdi 170 was sweeet...but i did a lot of town driving so DPF was coming up every week...and thats me putting in only full tank of BP's best diesel and always going for 20 miles ride...i did the carbon clean which helped for about 2 months...i miss the 6th gear so much...50-???mph gear😎
Never missed the gap in the fast lane...never😂😂😂
And 600 miles per tank...and even is only small hatchback with the large front grill and in black it does looks bigger in your rear view mirror..so people are letting your go more then in golf or focus💪😂

Do you reduce compression on high performance diesels? What are the differences between stock and lowered compression ratio? Max power increase? What can be changed? Can boost be increased? Torque loss? Hard start? Please answer it. Don't know about lowering compression on diesels though.

[pagaabel]

Explaining on point, keep up the good work 👍

[richardmills]

With valve pockets in the pistons it kills the swirl and leads to more smoke..

[willwatling]

Please do n47 videos mate i know ALOT of people would love to know a bit more about getting 300+ from these engines

[Richard-psht]

Great build as always. I have a 2007 mk5 golf 1.9 tdi. Starts on thr button when cold. Takes alot of cranking over when hot to start. No fault codes in the engine. Any idea what it could be many thanks.

[nxthfx]

Would you recommend changing oil and filter more regularly with a tuned engine or are yearly changes still possible without excessive wear on parts?

[sissonv]

My bkd Touran ended up cracking the head with just a gt1756 on at around 230hp.
That was a revision C head too. Should have put an AMC one on but broke it for parts instead.

[waasimmirza]
