1.4 TSi Problems...

[Jay1990]

Mine went at 13,000 miles with no sign of a problem till then - good luck.

haha yeah I know some people havnt had problems for 000's of miles then it just goes wrong.

Lucifer, why must you have the bkr plugs if your mapped? I have seats plugs and thus far its been alright. Will I notice any real difference in the car with newer plugs. Or will it just be that when/if an error comes up it will be later with the new plugs

we have a 1.4 tsi in our workshop now 30k on the clock and its already jumped timing hit a valve , turbo recurcilation valve has failed have experienced these egnines jumping timing before , not worth the bother

Mines also suffering from oil consumption problems. Is there anything I can do for this?

 

[VOLKSMASTER]

what mileage is it on and is there any misfiring atall ?

It's now at 27k and I've changed the plugs to ngk ones so there's no misfire anymore

Now this would be a very very big concern for me over the oil burning.

Bo engines don't work better cold try just run richer to compensate for the tempture will there warm the engine has less lubrication when cold the engine runs best at full running temp in cold foggy dam weather

sorry fella, ment cold air taken into the engine for combustion, as opposed to hot air taken in was in response to the post about the engine temps bein a pain at this time of year

Im not suffering from misfiring but im starting to see oil consumption issues.

 

[mardon]

Mine is in as we speak for oil consumption issues Dont notice any missfiring

I think the reason your getting away with it is because your tuner, under your own request, didnt push things. I would imagine your running less boost than the revo . The revo map is a much harsher map so these plugs are colder and shorter so when fueling is increased due to the extra boost request, it sits out of the way. The reason the are colder is to stop the fuel pre detonating without the spark, which is down to high temps.

You might see a difference. Give them a try next time you change your plugs. Should improve the high temps at least

Its nice to see a dealer which has taken the time to come on here and give advice to the many of us which have these misfiring/oil consumption problems and are stuck with them because of seats attitude towards fixing them. Welcome!

Was it the n75 vave that failed or the n248 or whatever its called. Ie wastegate or recirculation. Think mine might be on the blink as im getting a fluttering noise, an indication of "surging" Also misfiring when wet, oil consumption, white smoke oe out of the exhaust and a hesitancy when using the kickdown feature, before car starts pulling. Compression is fine though so seat wont help, hoping something will blow soon.

Maybe so. What boost are Revo ones running? when kev was mapping mine I was asking him abotu boost level ect and got this response

Initial boost is un-changed, if anything with the ignition angle modifications it’s a little lower. Higher up in the rev range where we’re making higher horsepower standard boost was 13.9psi and is now up to 18.6psi.

Boost initially is 17.6 as standard and then creeps up to 18psi towards the top end of the rev range to aid with the standard torque level and modified power level. Boost obviously varies on engine load, the ecu doesn’t run on a boost request as such, it actually bases it’s request on a target cylinder filling level. Effectively volumetric efficiency.

Im not sure mate, I have been trying to find out this week because ithink im getting slight overspool withe 3" downpipe. "target cylinder filling level. Effectively volumetric efficiency" is over my head, i thought they were all done on requested boost.
