I just took it for the 35k service.

My problem with the car is that the transmission slips real bad in 1st gear. If I am going up a hill from a stop it is just plain bad.
The whole car shakes.

The car was real jerky in between gears after the transmission service a few weeks ago, I took it back, they said they reset the computer and that I needed to drive it more.
They were correct as after putting about 200 miles on it the in between gear shifts are good now.

The other weird thing it does is when going at highway speeds if you have your foot on the gas pedal or in cruise control the rpm will surge up and down by about 200 RPM or so. UP and DOWN.
I am not sure if the transmission is slipping at speed like that or if it is something else like a TP sensor that is dirty.

Another issue is when stopping sometimes not every time it seems that the transmission doesn't disengage at the right time and the engine almost stalls out. This has happened about 3 or 4 times in the last week coming to a stop, I am not sure if that is normal or not, I have never had that happen in any other car except a manual when I forget to press the clutch in.

So in any event I have the car at the dealer, the one service adviser I have been working with called me back yesterday saying that he was able to replicate the slipping problem in 1st, but didn't have any hills to go up. He wanted to check with some other people that were not in. Today I get a call back and a different guy says he thinks it is normal, but wanted to check with another guy who was out today.

I don't think it is normal. I have driven mostly manual cars my whole life so I know what a manual transmission feels like and I have driven automatics too.
I don't think the car should shake violently when starting out.

What do I need to do to get them to believe me or is there no problem and everything I describe is considered normal? ]]> A3/S3 sghokie http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/540645-DSG-transmission-Woes-need-advice OEMplus: Short Sale on Select Items!

Looking at joining the club.. advice? http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/540495-Looking-at-joining-the-club-advice?goto=newpost Tue, 14 May 2013 22:53:02 GMT I've been lurking for quite some time and am finally finding a reason to post.

So, I've been eyeing up the A3 for quite a while now and am ready to make a purchase.

Initially I was looking at '08.5+ A3s and planning on spending somewhere around $25k. But the more I think about it, I'm starting to want to lean towards a higher mileage '06+ for a cheaper price..

This leads me to the whole reason I'm posting. There is someone selling an '06 A3 that is at 112k miles. I don't like the high mileage, but the thought of having low payments (about $120/mo vs. $325/mo) is very enticing. More miles on the car and more cash in my pocket.. Additionally, he's already got it setup 90% of the way I'd like and would eventually be doing anyhow.

The car has been dealer serviced for the latest service interval. The timing belt was replaced at 85k.

I haven't seen the car in person yet, I will in two days, but from the pictures it is very clean inside and out.

I know there is a known issue with the cam and follower on this motor and he says it's never been addressed. From what I understand this is covered until 120k?

I'm rather mechanically inclined and willing to do most jobs myself, so checking/replacing the cam and follower if needed shouldn't be a problem for me.

Anything else I should make a point in checking or inspecting and scrutinizing carefully?

His asking price is $10,900 which I think is a little steep considering the miles. What do you guys think? What would be a fair price to offer?

Product Page

APR is pleased to present the Stage 3+ High-Flow, CNC-Ported, Performance Cylinder Head for the 2.0T FSI (EA113) Engine.

APR's engineers have optimized the FSI head with proprietary, computer-controlled porting conducted on APR’s in-house 5-Axis Centroid CNC machine, our engineers have increased airflow by 17% on the intake ports and an additional 12% on the exhaust ports. The engine’s boost-to-airflow ratio is reduced by roughly 10% while also reducing intake air temperature and alleviating backpressure. As a result, the spark knock threshold is extended up to 7 degrees allowing for a substantial increase in power.

Through specific Stage III+ calibration changes, this directly translates to a +70 HP gain over APR’s existing BPY, AXX and BWA Stage III Turbocharger System on 93 (R+M)/2 octane fuel and up to +126 HP on race fuel!

Available for existing APR Stage III GT2871R Turbo Systems and the new APR Stage III GTX2867R Turbo Systems
Software included for APR Stage III Customers (Vin must have APR Stage III software installed previously. Software not sold separately)

Five years prior to release, APR’s engineers began research and development on high flow cylinder heads. With the need to provide the most consistent and technologically advanced head porting solution, APR tested and quickly looked beyond manual head porting – each system is CNC machined to ensure strict repeatability. The goal was simple; a bolt on hardware solution with matching software, to integrate seamlessly into APR’s existing product line.

Finding the Bottlenecks

In simplest terms, an engine is an air pump. The more air an engine can flow, the more power it can achieve given an adequate supply of fuel and ignition. Through development, APR has been able to continually increase power on the 2.0T FSI by finding bottlenecks in the system and eliminating them one at a time.

The 2.0T FSI’s factory intake and exhaust are the first two items causing an airflow restriction and as such both of these items are upgraded to expand the capabilities of the engine. After this, the factory K03 turbocharger becomes a restriction and therefore an entry level K04 Turbocharger System is available. This turbocharger comes standard on several high-end Audi, VW and Seat vehicles and eventually becomes the largest restriction point in the system.

APR’s solution to the flow-limited factory turbocharger is the Stage III Turbocharger System. Stage III consists of an entirely new high flow exhaust manifold, small frame Garrett Honeywell Turbocharger and larger turbocharger inlet and outlet plumbing. This system is capable of exploiting the bottleneck in the system between the K04 and Stage III, which in this case is the factory cylinder head.

As the final stage of the air intake and the first stage of the exhaust, the cylinder head is the most critical piece of the air pump. The cylinder head is a restriction on both the intake and exhaust side at Stage III airflow levels. This results in a relatively high boost-to-airflow ratio and excessive backpressure on the exhaust side. By machining the cylinder head ports, the boost-to-airflow ratio decreases by as much as 10% and enough backpressure is alleviated to extend the spark knock threshold by roughly 7 degrees. Together these benefits and others translate into an additional 70-126 HP, depending on octane, over our standard Stage III Turbocharger System!

Testing

APR has tested countless cylinder head port profiles over the past five years to ensure we’ve arrived at the best possible configuration. It’s important to understand that an increase in flow at the inlet or exhaust port is often coupled with a decrease in air velocity. Porting the cylinder head is not a simple process of making each port larger. For this reason, porting the cylinder head on a vehicle with a K04 or smaller turbocharger will actually decrease the output of the engine. The turbocharger itself represents a larger restriction than the cylinder head, so porting accomplishes nothing other than decreasing the velocity of the air as it enters the cylinder. In turn, this increases the time between spark and combustion making a slower burning, less powerful engine flowing no more air than it did before.

Through testing on our Superflow Flow Bench, we also discovered many different sizes and shapes would show no benefit in flow but would result in decreased velocity. As such, some ports may retain parts of their original casting, unmachined. This is not a mistake, as increasing the port size slightly larger to ensure all surfaces are machined proves less than ideal. CNC porting allows for precise profiling unachievable through hand porting and makes compensations necessary to account for core shift. The ultimate goal and end result was developing shape, volume and profile for each port that results in the highest flow yet the least decrease in velocity over stock.

APR’s Engineering Teams took development a step further though testing of 1mm oversized valves on both the intake and exhaust. Despite offering a significant improvement in airflow on the flow bench, there were no performance advantages from the engine. As mentioned earlier, the bottlenecks are located one at a time and between a ported head and oversized valve ported head, the restriction once again becomes the turbocharger system. The advantages of oversized ports are not realized until well over the 500 HP mark, which extends beyond other limitations in the system.

Product Page

Building upon over a decade’s worth of experience with turbocharged Audi and VW engines, including over half a decade with direct injected engines, APR’s Engineers have taken the 2.0T FSI to ground breaking levels of performance without compromise.

APR is pleased to introduce the 2.0T FSI Stage III GTX Turbocharger System. Producing over 405 horsepower on 93 (R+M)/2 octane and 449 HP in racing configurations, Stage III GTX places the 2.0T FSI's accelerative performance in the same league as that of large V8 supercharged muscle cars and sub $400,000 exotic sports cars.

The new APR Stage III GTX Turbocharger System represents a large leap in technology over our previously available GT Turbocharger System. The new system’s response is much quicker, spooling hundreds of RPM sooner thanks to the latest in Garrett turbocharger technology and advancements in the ECU Upgrade. Further refinement of the fueling system increases the vehicle's reliability and drivability to levels only matched by the OEM. A substantial increase in horsepower and torque results in roughly a 30-50 HP gain in the area under the curve over the previous system. As you hear a new exotic growl from your exhaust system, expect exhilarating g-force levels sure to put a huge grin on your face!

To learn about many component included in the APR Stage III GTX Turbocharger System, see below. For previous owners of the older APR Stage III GT Turbocharger System, an upgrade package is available.

APR Stage III GTX Components

Turbocharger

At the heart of Stage III GTX is a GTX2867R turbocharger, consisting of the latest technologies from Le Mans’ winning turbo manufacturer, Garrett Honeywell. The internally gated unit features a fully-machined, ten-blade billet compressor wheel and a dual ball bearing oil and water-cooled CHRA. APR’s Engineers spent countless hours testing turbine inlet and A/R sizes in order to decrease turbocharger lag without negatively impacting peak power. The newly developed compressor housing utilizes anti-surge porting, which greatly complements the lightning fast spool characteristics of this unit and grants APR’s Engineers the ability to deliver massive levels of torque inducing boost pressure, even in the lower RPM range.

Each turbocharger unit is assembled and clocked in house at APR with the necessary brackets to ensure proper wastegate fitment and orientation. Each wastegate is then calibrated for precise operation and control to ensure seamless integration with the expertly recalibrated OEM engine management system.

APR Stage III GTX Software

The factory Bosch MED 9 engine management system is responsible for proper operation of the engine in all conditions. With built in compensational data for environmental variables and varying load conditions, the factory ECU is far more complex and intelligent than units found in other vehicle makes and marks.

With the significant amount of changes included in the APR Stage III GTX Turbocharger System, APR’s Engineers spent months recalibrating the engine management system to operate smoothly as if intended by the OEM. Thanks to APR’s incredible proprietary calibration suite, data logging software and full access to the coding structure of the ECU, appropriate and intelligent changes are made to ensure flawless drivability and excellent performance without compromise.

APR’s EMCS program switching technology puts control of the ECU in your finger tips allowing you to access modes for standard pump fuel, high output race fuel and even reduced output valet modes to protect your vehicle against improper use by other individuals. This technology is patented by APR and is found nowhere else in the world. It’s Performance Without Compromise only APR can deliver!

*Note* Exiting APR Software customers will receive a fully loaded ECU. New Customers will receive 1 program and may purchase additional programs al la cart. Please check for EMCS availability.

Exhaust Manifold

Attached to the turbocharger is APR’s investment-cast, super alloy, nickel-chromium-based Inconel 625 Manifold featuring APR’s Sequential Exhaust Pulse runner lengths. Unlike hand welded tubular manifolds, Inconel is a very high temperature resistant material designed to withstand extreme exhaust gas temperature changes without expanding, contracting, melting or cracking under stress. This material is typically found only at the highest levels of professional motorsport racing where reliability is essential to success.

Investment-cast Inconel features heat retention characteristics which aid in turbo response by keeping exhaust velocity high. Ensuring each exhaust pulse arrives at the collection point without collision is critical to producing lightning fast response and immediate torque delivery. Using 3D modeling and computational fluid dynamics software, APR’s Engineers designed varying short runner lengths calibrated to deliver sequential exhaust pulses without collision. A reduction in backpressure from the high flow design directly enhances power delivery.

Each manifold is investment-cast in the United States of America and machined in house on APR’s CNC machines to ensure high casting tolerances, repeatable results and strict quality control. The thick casting material reduces unwanted exhaust noise leaving behind a powerful and exotic growl.

All of these characteristics result in a manifold designed without compromise backed by a confidence inspiring lifetime warranty.

Induction and Charge Piping

Wire reinforced, multi-ply silicone hoses provide an unrestricted path for airflow to enter and exit the turbocharger at over 1,000 kilograms per hour. The ultra rigid design ensures boost and vacuum piping will not swell or collapse causing leaks and restrictions in the induction and charge piping system supporting boost response and turbo recovery. Each hose is engineered to fit properly into the vehicle's engine bay with all necessary emissions and reference ports securely affixed.

APR’s Easy-Flow Silicone Hose design features stepped mounting surfaces for smooth transitions from one pipe to another. Traditional designs simply sit on top of each other, often resulting in a disruptive airflow path. By using the stepped design, hoses fit properly without airflow restrictions, resulting in the most ideal path for moving air through the turbocharger and into the engine.

Turbo Outlet Pipe

To provide unrestricted and smooth airflow from the turbocharger to the intercooler, the APR Stage III GTX Turbocharger System includes a cast enlarged turbo outlet pipe to properly deliver the additional airflow from the larger turbocharger.

Mass Airflow Housing

The vehicle's engine management relies on load calculations to accurately control the engine. Calculations are made by measuring airflow across the Mass Airflow Sensor and this is a critical component of the APR Stage III GTX Turbocharger System.

The small and restrictive factory unit is removed and replaced with the much larger housing. To ensure accuracy, APR’s MAF housing is cast in the United States of America and CNC machined in house at APR to ensure repeatable results. The long, precision-machined housing features a honeycomb airflow straightener to further aid in accurately reading airflow levels. Simply enlarging the MAF housing is not permissible without accurate adjustments to the factory engine management system, which is included with APR Stage III GTX Turbocharger System.

Oil and Coolant Lines

APR’s oil and coolant lines are specific to the vehicle's Stage III GTX System and provide years of leak free operation. The oil lines feature flexible braided stainless steel with CNC mandrel bent hard-lines for specific and clean hose routing as if intended by the OEM.

Low Pressure Fuel Pump System

The APR Low Pressure Fuel Pump System is a complete, OEM style, PWM controlled drop in fuel pump and controller solution designed to fit cleanly in the OEM location. The upgraded pump provides adequate low-pressure fuel to the APR High Pressure Fuel Pump to support the power levels produced by the APR Stage III GTX Turbocharger System.

High Pressure Fuel Rail Valve

The factory vehicle's gasoline direct injection injectors require higher than factory fuel rail pressure to achieve targeted air fuel ratios under high load, wide open throttle operation. APR’s Low Pressure Fuel Pump delivers the desired volume of fuel to the APR High Pressure Fuel Pump, which provides increased fueling headroom over the factory unit. However, the factory High Pressure Fuel Rail Valve limits maximum rail pressure below the desired level. The included APR High Pressure Fuel Rail Valve is calibrated to increase the maximum rail pressure to levels necessary for proper operation.

In doing so, APR’s able to support far higher horsepower levels than achievable on the existing APR Stage III GTX Turbocharger Systems without the need to alter the factory, correct spray pattern, injectors. This results in smoother part throttle operation, factory-like cold starts and fewer unburnt hydrocarbons emitted from the tailpipe under all conditions compared to other fueling options.

Cast Downturn and Downpipe

The GTX2867R internally gated turbocharger unit features a Garrett five-bolt flange, which differs from the OEM turbocharger flange. To support this design, the APR Stage III GTX Turbocharger System includes cast stainless steel exhaust downturn and downpipe, which mates directly to an APR Midpipe, Downpipe or Turboback Exhaust System.

Nuts, Bolts, Gaskets, Washers, Clamps, Fittings, etc

Every APR Stage III GTX Turbocharger System includes all necessary components for a complete install.

Bracketry

No matter how small the part, each piece of the APR Stage III GTX Turbocharger System oozes with quality evident in pieces like the Stage III GTX's laser cut ancillary brackets and carriers.

Spark Plugs

Proper temperature range spark plugs are included with each APR Stage III GTX Turbocharger System.

This is what I want to do i am currently located in Japan and have been turned on to Audi's I absolutely love the RS3. I will be leaving Japan in about 19 months to go back to the states.
