Hi, my first post, I realise these issues are covered in length and I have read them all over and over, ive just not read about them in combination, I bought a mk3 cupra AQX coded ibiza a few months ago, picked it up cheaply and not surprisingly have had problem after problem with it since, in short ive had boosting/surging/smoking and misfire issues with the car.
When I got it it was running a different fuel rail and fpr and supposedly a stage one map, my intention was to take it to stage 2 with all the neccassary supporting mods, the car never felt right but thought as I I assemble the stage 2 hardware and get it remapped these issues would be solved, not the case, ive since discovered several blown fuses, faulty maf, duff coilpacks and blocked breather system.
My remap guy informed me the so called map on it was done by some bedroom cowboy who had messed with the air/fuel and o2 sensors along with other stuff, basically should have walked away from the car.
But since ive had it ive had the valve stem seals done, new coil packs maf and oil catch can setup, ontop of that all the stage 2 stuff, ko3s fmic blueflame 2.5 dp.
Everything has been taken off and reassembled so many times due to ware and tare failures that I know eveything is on properly. Now I feel ive been over everything and the car now smokes and goes into limp mode after a very short time on boost, the car will boost to 20 psi then sharply drop off then into limp mode, plus I can see substantial blue smoke from the back. This whole proccess of things breaking and getting replaced has taken all summer and im sure to have missed out alot, but im now completely downhearted with it all, the car is going back to the remapper again but I guess what im asking here is for anything I might have missed that some one with experience might be able to see
