Maybe it broke because its supposed to be fitted on/in the stock airbox. Cool air flows passed it that way. I think because yours is just hanging there it doesn't get cooled enough.
thanks for the comment - yeah, you might be right, i'll try position it better to get some cooling - probably did cook itself... although i think its been this way for years... to my knowledge its the first time its ever been changed, so not doing too badly i guess lol
We have the same agu motor but i cant see mpg, or klm per hour, how can you see that? Also you can put thermopaste from pc in order to have good contact to through away the temperature. thank you.
What the car or my silky northern tones 😜 ive made a few updates - to be honest, if there's any interest, i might go through the list of mods... there's quite a few now. Note to self, do more videos lol
Hey man - sorry, i missed this comment... it was hard to pin point to be honest, it was like all cylinders, all at once - seriously down on power... does that help? I knew the common issue o these engines was the ignition amp, it was a good place to start - fortunately, it solved the issue and has been perfect ever since.
Hi, i have the similar problem, but in my car, there is a "jumping" effect, while engine is cold, shortly after engine start. In your car -this situation appeared when engine was only warm or cold too? THX
sounds right to me... try unplugging it - see if it worsens... if not, i think its most likely to be the culprit. Have you done any error code scanning?
Hi guys.I have golf mk4 gti 1.8 turbo AUM and i have problem with red oil light when i drive, i stopped turn off engine and drive again and oil red light is gone?What's the problem?Thanks!💪
interestingly, ive had the red oil light flash on recently too... over the years ive ran various 'cleaners' through prior to an oil change, but i might have to crack the sump off and take a look. I did chance the oil pressure switch which cured it for it a bit, but its back. Another thing ive noticed too is the service light flashes on whenever it wants? I started to think it was an electrical issue...
Hi Rick, Thank for this video. I have the same issue with my car. I would need to purchase this item, could please provide me with the eBay link? Thank you
Hey mate, sorry you're having issue too - i've looked for the amplifier - cant find it anywhere online now... if you're stuck, try and contact Awesome GTi in Manchester, i'm sure they'll be able to help.

Exactly.

@@SlickRick365 you can try fitting it on a larger heatsink (old CPU heatsink) with some fresh thermal paste. You'd have to drill holes to make it fit.
@@deviousmind1092 that's a great idea, nice little mod
@@deviousmind1092 ive finally got round to doing this mod 👍🏻 😎 might make an update

I have an AUM but carnt locate the ignition amplifier. Am i wrong in thinking its doesn't have one?
only agu has it
@@asik1130 thanks 👍
What a sexy piece of art.

Was it just one cylinder misfiring?

i think you might have a MAF sensor fault
