Possible popped motor in an APR S2 B8? Anyone heard or know anything about this?

Hahaha owned

Well, after all that it wasn’t a B8 S4 after all. It was an A4.

Speaking of blowing 2.0T engines, we make this to help with the issues we found on the track and street in high G situations.

Anyone know what’s going on here? Typical Quattrofail - tons of replies and no real information.

I remember that guy when i used to be around the 2.0TFSI forum.

Lot’s of interesting responses plus he claimed to be extracting big numbers out of k03’s by doing some very questionable things.

Sorry opened the link and immediately closed it… I can’t stand forums setup like that…

^^ haha. you’re not the only one. that layout is a disgrace.

It’s like playing a game of peekaboo trying to find information, having to click all the posts with content.

You can set it to show everything however. Only thing there is you read down a long string then are suddenly shot back to the next post which was from 60 posts earlier. Makes no sense. It was designed to save bandwidth so you wouldn’t have to load a page of photos etc unless you wanted to. back in the days of 14,400 baud rate modems.

There’s a reason that format went out the window when bandwidth got cheap. It fucking sucks is the reason.

apparently im making up the fact that my rs4 motor blew up too… lol

that dude is pretty out there. He’s got a paranoid thing going.

He is one fat, unslammable samoan though.

Search his VWVortex screenname and go several years back. Strange character…

Crew219 nailed it though. He tried to become an APR dealer at one point. No thanks.

Well according to our good friends at EC, it’s pretty much always the users fault…

“I personally have never lost a motor due to any manufacturers software, nor would I personally every put the blame on a particular software. Even if the software is less than safe to be operating in extreme conditions, it is ultimately the vehicle operators fault.”

That is fucking hilarious… Yep my fault I took my $1,500 tuned S4/6 to the strip and well unfortunately it popped… We(the $1,500 customer) should log first right, EC? Is that what you tell the folks you flash? Those tuners would never run anything unsafe, right? Wonder if he has ever seen Revo S4 logs?

Saw that too, didn’t expect it. I should have though. They are a shop and need to make it look like only idiots blow motors and their brands are all perfect.

Not sure what he was getting at about cylinders being lubricated with fuel, lol wtf…ummm opposite thing…

But one thing I did notice, this

[QUOTE=Info@EuroCode;9087548]We have recently rebuilt three 2.0TFSI longitudinal motors, two of which were 100% stock and one which was programmed.

There is a known issue in which the injectors are getting stuck open, the end result is cracked piston rings. The longitudinal engine also suffers from oil consumption problems which are directly related to the pistons that were used in the 2009-2010 MY
[/quote]
The 3 3.0TFSI motors that were blown on REVO all had leaking FSI injectors, as told to me by both Audi and REVO. I think all 2010 cars…Wonder if the tune is causing damage to the injector itself…

Arin…thoughts?

dunno

This thread needs a title change.

My 2009 b8 a4 avant had its pistons replaced (among other things) under warranty. They used a redesigned version after excess oil consumption caused by ring damage, exactly as mentioned above. Didn’t know it was an injector issue.

The oil consumption issue and injector TSB are mutually exclusive.

Early B8 A4 2.0T (valve-lift) used a piston that was lighter in weight than the transverse motors, and the piston itself is the culprit on the oil consumption. It changes shape/size under heat and the by product of this is oil blow by.

We have seen quite a few cars that suffer from the oil consumption issue, most of them are able to be repaired at the dealership under the extended warranty, we have done the rebuilds for a couple of customers that were out of the warranty.

The fix for this is to replace the pistons and piston rings with the pistons and rings out of the transverse engine.

The injector getting stuck is one Achilles heel on the long. valve-lift motor as well as the hydraulic timing chain guide tensioner.

That is odd because I remember Audi telling the TFMs and the dealerships that the PCV valve would cause the early 2.0 TFSI piston rings to flutter.

They changed the repair procedure a few times for customer satisfaction reasons. But shortly before I left there was a updated TSB that came out saying to replace the PCV valve and front crank seal then do a software update to make it work right. Then if the engine still burned oil they would have to replace the pistons and rings from the updated engine because the damage was already done so to speak.

They call that the part one oil consumption test, and in my opinion they are just buying time with the customer. It is a shame because the customer has to jump through many hoops.

When it is all said and done, replacing the rings and pistons is the only real answer. Audi should have reman long blocks ready to go to exchange out like they did with the sludge 1.8Ts

^^ we shld have your handle changed so that it reads “Greg@Eurocode”

This is shady man. The other sponsors on this site own up to who they represent. Not you, apparently.

Clochner, It’s even worse on vendorzine where he posts under his EC handle and also under the 500HPS5 handle… You know this allows for more unbiased reviews of those 3.0 headers that make massive power or the intake that makes 15HP and increases fuel economy by 40 miles per tank… But hey Anthony and his crew of mall cops allow it so why not as I’m sure it helps sales of their products which is the only reason he is posting anyway… Don’t worry he won’t hang around here since no one will buy his sales spin… He’s just here to set us straight on his wife’s BS because none of us were smart enough to figure it out ::slight_smile:
