Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Had a poke around my exhaust to see what is loose.
Found what appears to be the bolts joining the manifold to the turbo are UBER loose, attempted to tighten down but still a major leak somewhere
Doe anyone have a picture of the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe and how they are bolted together?APR V2 | APR Downpipe + custom catback | APR solid mount | FMIC | SEAT intake | BMC filter | FORGE 007DV | KW v1 | WHITELINE RSB

Thanx blitzen
i already read through both of them and google too.
It just sucks that it happened right on a long weekend. [not the first time] Can't contact anyone for solutions/fixesAPR V2 | APR Downpipe + custom catback | APR solid mount | FMIC | SEAT intake | BMC filter | FORGE 007DV | KW v1 | WHITELINE RSB

Tried to diagnose the intermittant pinging I'm getting.
It's not consistent, doesn't happen on particularly hot days, doesn't happen after strapping it for an hour around a mountain, just occasionally kicks in in 3rd/4th when merging onto highways (and not neccisarily after slow or stop/start driving), leading me to believe that heat isn't the issue.
So, naturally I'm checking injectors/fuel filter/fuel etc. all today. Just need to source a new fuel filter because it's probably about time I did that anyway.Previous Rides: Polo GTI, Mx5 10AE, MY05 WRX WRP10, Renault Sport Clio 172

Vag-com is your friend. I'm just using a basic ebay cable, for $30, you can see a lot.
Just by logging channel 020 you can see if your timing is being pulled or if its happening on one cyl only.
How are you checking your injectors and fueling?Comment

Changed the A/C filter, engine oil, fuel filter, washed the K&N filter,
fixed the rattle sound coming out from dash board and gave it a detail wash~
wow~ like new now!

Yeah, going to vag-com it.Originally posted by noone View Post
Looking over things, I've got the feeling it might be caused by tapping onto the fuel pressure regulator line for my electronic boost gauge. I'm going to buy a new line for the regulator and piggyback the boost gauge line off the N75 line.Previous Rides: Polo GTI, Mx5 10AE, MY05 WRX WRP10, Renault Sport Clio 172

That shouldn't cause a problem unless the pipe has split maybe?Originally posted by break View Post

Yeah, no splits... but the electronic boost reader is down in the passenger foot well, so there is a good 1m+ of tubing that comes off the regulator hose. I figured this might be causing a delay in the appropriate reading being sent to the fuel regulator, and hence leaning out and pinging.Originally posted by h100vw View Post
Either way, its good practice not to be splicing into that hose for boost monitoring

The one on my S3 runs from there with no problems and I bet half the rest of the planet pick it up there too.Originally posted by break View PostYeah, no splits... but the electronic boost reader is down in the passenger foot well, so there is a good 1m+ of tubing that comes off the regulator hose.

The nearest I have come across to pipe length being an issue, is the boost sense line to the ECU on a G60 engine. They have to be a metre long. If you start trimming them down because the ends have split, weird pulses from the intake, cause no end of grief for the MAP sensor. This stops the engine running properly on anything but full throttle above 3000 revs.
I'd don't reckon that's your problem though. You need to scan it an log it.

Probably just fuel tbh. Tapping into your reg line wont cause you any dramas. Are you running the colder plugs?
