    Hi Sarah, I've just binge watched your entire Mister Dos series, it's great to see an MR2 gone through in so much detail, you're extremely lucky to have a rust free example and its been an absolute joy to watch, not to mention you have a fantastic personality and sense of humour. If Carlsberg made the perfect woman...

    I have a 2002 TT Coupe Quattro. I found your channel while looking for info on TT suspension. Love your vids, keep it up and DO NOT give up on the TT! I think I'm keeping my suspension stock but renewing all the rubber parts. I'm considering doing a Milltek cat-back resonated exhaust, too, not too loud but just for a bit of growl. Mine has only +/- 62k miles on it.

    If you go more than 80%(some car are differents in that percentage) on the throttle it cut the injector to unflood the engine some will even firing to help, some don't. You can pump it but just dont go to the floor if you want to start, but you can use this feature to prime the engine oil too, got some help with a booster or charge the battery before. I did that on an early 90's car, it had a oil pressure gauge and was fuel injected, floored it crank 2 times for about 10s and got oil pressure then crank it normaly

  • @DZMech
    @DZMech 4 роки тому +1

    The TT was how I found this channel! I was like oh oh audi! I never thought someone would go to the depths, I do for cars! Kertoppel tot! haha! The light burning of oil is probably from sitting not started for a while. The oil rings at the bottom of the stack haven't been seated against the cylinder wall for a while... Or Valve guide seals. :| It should go away after warming up.. I wonder if they make a lightened solid flywheel? I know they do for the 1.8ts

    @MrDOZA28 4 роки тому

    I've had a similar experience with my s3. Spent large parts of the last 18 months sat as it needed a lot of work doing such as turbo, clutch etc. It had never smoked before then when it was used daily. I've used it a little more often recently after all the work was finished and it's gradually stopped puffing out random blue whisps. I just don't think these older cars like sitting. Seals can go hard over time without use

    I don't know a lot about cars, but I do know audio. Set the low pass back at 100hz and just turn the input down. 35 to 100hz is subwoofer range.(I'm actually surprised that anything was coming out of that tiny sub with the low pass set at 35hz. Big double 18" concert PA subs don't go much lower than that.) If that head unit has the ability, set a high pass at 100hz for the door speakers. That way the door and the sub aren't both pumping out the same frequencies. Much cleaner sound that way. Love your channel. Keep up the excellent work.

  • @michaelhawkins5530
    @michaelhawkins5530 4 роки тому

    The Car Wizard has videos about decarbonizing the valves. Also, the variable runner intake manifold has these doors inside of it that get sticky with carbon buildup. So the cylinder head and intake manifold may be the issue with the burning oil .

  • @Javelin3o4

    For the radio wiring I would have purchased Metra Reverse Harness Part # 71-1761. That would be the factory style connector coming out of the dash. You could have then soldered that into the factory wiring. So when you installed a radio you would buy Metra Harness Part # 70-1761, that you would wire to the new stereo's harness so it just plugs into the factory wiring.

  • @dre3k78

    Yeah if you really enjoy your music its a great idea to add a sub in your car to fill out the low end. Doesn't have to be some monster set up just like an 8" or 10" will do. Most mid range door speakers will cut off around 40-60hz depending on quality. You need something to cover that 50-0hz range. You would be surprised how much you are missing in a song not hearing all the music covered in that range. Given the limited space and no trunk or rear deck available i think you made a great choice Sarah.

    My tt has jush been sat during our loockdown in UK, its just had the odd start and drive out of garage, I did notice a blueness to the smoke while I sat it on drive running, also smelt of a dry kettle on heat, took it for a short run around block and it came back fine with no blue smoke. Let's face it a drop of oil burning can make quite a bit of smoke, I wouldn't worry on a car of that age and miles unless it's burning more oil than the hand book states. Certainly won't burn oil like my sapphire cosworth did.

    Just leave the car on jack stands / wood blocks when leaving it parked for really long periods of time. That will keep your tires nice and round.
    The blue smoke is normal oil does sip through the seals. It burns off after a few minutes. I turn an old small block 350 about once a year once I did it for 2 years and the blue smoke was insane for ya few minutes!

    I think that it’s Usually the turbo seals that cause that at idle because of a little bit of oil seepage during no boost they the stock turbo seals are designed to be most effective under boost, but not so much at idle, at least that’s what mechanics told me about my TT.

Still bolts up to the stock manifold. Im using the eurodyne maestro 7 to tune it. What system/tuner are you using for your tuning?

      It can be bluish though, I guess it's the amount of oil that it's burning. But it's most likely either those or the piston rings stuck. And if they're stuck, they either start working when they get oil or not.
      Hey @Sarah -n- Tuned, have you replaced the oil filter mesh thing at the oil pan? It tends to get clogged and the oil pressure drops and... you know the rest.

    With the low pass filter set at 31hz the subwoofer is doing almost nothing. Most music doesn’t go below 30hz anyway. Try 60 to 80 hz and set the front speaker high pass to the same
