The great big MK6 Golf 118TSI tuning thread

[lordlosh]

Service will work on my car. Probably Performance99, which are Revo Dealers.
My car is 02/05/2011, but its date of the first registration. 2011 is manufacturer year and obviously its before 06.2011.
So i need to look for this part number: 0AM198140N Still will see if i get them from the dealer or from some shop in the internet. If the dealer keep telling me there isnt any upgrade on the DSG clutches.
BTW, you change your injectors rights? You get the revivesed ones ? Also you have intake installed on your car? And where you get Custom PCV & catch can ?
And how i can understand if my car have the Revised coil pack, injector and so on ?
And for the power i will not push it too much, 220-230hp will be perfect for me.
BTW how i can understand if my car have the new coil pack and injector version ?
Thanks for the help.

Yep i changed injectors to the newer ones - 03C906036M - you may already have these injectors being a 2011 model. All 2011's should have them but not all did - seems VW used up old stock on some engines.

I have not installed an intake yet - as at these HP it probably only gain 5 HP at the top end and may even loose some at the lower end, although i am considering getting an APR carbonio (i'm not after too much noise on the intake).

I have installed a Golf R / S3 Intercooler, and also installed Audi R8 ignition coils (with a metal plate adapter and rewiring of the coil
connectors)

I made my own catch can, which i have documented here: 1.4 TSI 118KW Oil catch can

You can also follow my build thread here (i actually have a golf mk6, but post on the scirocco forums in the uk) : Scirocco Central • Login

I will write up my forged piston install / head rework project at some point.

Coil packs changed from 036905715F to 036905715G; refer the following thread; 118tsi coil pack

I have 036905715G in mine.

Thanks again.
BTW today i was talking with the dealer and he keep telling me that the DSG clutches are not revivesed, but he say their part number is: 0AM198140N Which is the one you give me ..... Fu**** strange. The price he give me is 550euro.
And this is the number on the new revivesed water pump: 03C 121 004JX
Also someone buy from this site? The parts are originals? oemvwshop.com

Sounds about right for a dealership - they are absolutely useless when it comes to parts information.

With your car being a MY 2011, you should already have the latest revision water pump / supercharger clutch.
The pump was revised in mid 2010, with the clutch material being changed so that it doesn't begin to slip/squeak.

Has anybody done a custom intercooler install? As in a universal intercooler mounted like the forge twintercooler? Would it be cheaper than the S3 intercooler or is that still the best option. From what I have read back in this thread you just have to cut your original hoses. Is the s3 cooler a fairly easy install? After getting my rebuild I want to make sure this car is running as healthy as possible. I will most likely go stage 2 after having these pistons for a while(why not!!!)

Thanks for the help lads

I had the newer S3 intercooler with the plastic end tanks on it installed by my mechanic when the front came off the car last. Rawcpoppa did an awesome DIY on this here: DIY: S3/Golf R intercooler installation and there's some sweet tutorials on the scirocco forums.

The hoses did need to be cut (the metal end clamps anyway) and then hose clamps installed to hold the hoses on. Blower, who is on this forum too has a nice thread which shows those steps here: 1.4 TSI Twincharger (160) Stage 1 / 2 - VW GTI MKVI Forum / VW Golf R Forum / VW Golf MKVI Forum / VW GTI Forum - Golfmk6.com you can see he saved an extra inch of hose by removing the end clamps and not just chopping the hose.

The aftermarket intercoolers seem to be fairly expensive, you should be able to find a stock Mk 6 R golf or S3 intercooler for a couple of hundred bucks in the classifieds here or somewhere else. Heaps of people upgrade those on Golf Rs so there's a few around.

The intercooler did make a notable difference in the heat here in summer.

Thanks Mk R.

So the Golf R intercooler is the same as the S3 cooler or equivalent?

That would probably be very easy to find.

Yeah the Mk VI Golf R and Audi S3 of the same year share the same intercooler. I'm not sure what the part number was but you can probably see it in Rawcpoppa and Blower's photos. I've seen people put them up for sale from anywhere between $150 and $800 so keep your eyes peeled.

Have you spoken to Guy H about a 1.4 twincharger Stage 2 file? I'd be interested to hear what he has to say about it compared to the APR stage 2 file...

[rygreen93]

I just asked my mechanic (Eurotune) if they have a used golf R intercooler lying around. The front of the car is off at the moment so I will just see how much they want to charge.

I sent guy an email, ill let you know what they come back with. Basically if I can get a cheap intercooler and find a decent downpipe with a 200 cell CAT I will most likely go stage 2.

First thing when I get my car back is oil catch can and a few thousand k's to bed the new pistons in. Then I will entertain the idea of stage 2. And be broke
