Hi, 3 years ago this job done, I have same car, but FSI, for 190 000km. Working with gloves is sometimes like no feeling in fingers!? Think best letting oil in filter out with open the orange valve first! I have same plugs as you for 130 000km by now and no misfire so fare! Missing screws two of them not so good, wish you luck here! Thansk for sharing. Johnny Swede Guy
It's a common issue with these engines. Also the 1.8tfsi. Can't really do anything about that unless you want to swap all the pistons + piston rings with aftermarket ones
@@rvacarguy5480 it is, but most people use 5w40 for these engines especially tuned ones, just look up on forums etc. Also 5w40 is usually cheaper. it's not the oil viscosity that matters but oil specification.
Hi, I have sold the car now. But if the engine is well serviced, the cam chain should not be an issue until at higher mileage. Hope all is well with your car. Cheers
I like the zip tie idea 👍
Yeah it works on quite a few engines. Cheers for the comment

Have you had any troubles with the known piston rings? Oil consumption.
Thinking about getting one! Thanks
Hi, I have now sold the car.... but did not have any issues with oil consumption. Thanks

All Castrol engines are orange sludge when opened
Never Castrol in my Audi only shell
Hi, will this be the same for a 2006 A3? Thanks
If its the same engine (2.0 TFSI), then yes.
The right oil weight is 5w40 not 5w30
@@rvacarguy5480 According to the Castrol website it states 5W30. Thanks

@@rvacarguy5480 the owner's manual for my car says its ok to use 5w30 but 5w40 is the more preferable to be used
Does it have a stupid timing chain or a belt?
Hi, it has a timing chain. Thanks
@@twin2civicgaraget2cg75 Oh boy.. Good luck with that. Just had to change a timing chain on a 1.4 tsi. Price: €2000.
