Edition 30 powered by RBS
RBS:
It's all itching to work on the Ed 30 :laugh: But I have to wait for parts again for the hpfp and some nuts for the downpipe.
Also got a new A/C pressure switch with o ring, will install it hopefully friday. Got some troubles with my A/C.
Bagus helped me out with it :happy2: Went to get the system recharged but my compressor would not engage / turn on :surprised:
So friday after instaling the new switch, it's take 2 for the A/C...
Also got a closer look on the pressure relieve valve under the intake manifold, to remove it for a RS4 one.
That's also going to be a pain to switch :thinking:
The exhaust is next and then the oil pump. So still a long way to suffer :rolleye:
RBS:
Here’s what VCDS shows for the A/C. Everything is ok and
system should be recharged
Shoduchi:
Loving the work done! :congrats:
You're replacing the whole oil pump? Any problems with it to need changing?
I want to replace the timing belt and timing chain this year, and install the balance shaft delete kit from VIS Motorsport. :smiley:

@Shoduchi : Hi buddy :wink: Loooong time no hear! How'z life? And still enjoying your lovely Ed 30?
I'm finaly geting to install all the rest of the parts :jumpmove: Hope to get it all done by the end of April... Then give it a little more jucy Hp! :happy2: Finaly!
As for the oil pump I searched more info about it and after a good chat with an engine "doctor" , he told me that it was not nessecery but it couldn't do any harm to install it. Especialy with the TFSI engine! The balance shafts are known to fail... My first option was also the VIS balance shaft delete sproket (I bought one) but then I got in contact with MIK Motoren and they got a whole oil pump conversion kit without having to drill in the oil shaft and the pump is set to 6.8 bar.
The timingbelt change is not such a stress as long you follow the procedures, the only difficult/hard thing was the engine mount to the block removal and the little bolt from the timingcover which is behind that engine mount... all the other steps are quiet easy if you follow the instuction manual
As for the timing chain, I didn't change it. Put VCDS on it and all was safe :happy2: but I'll replace it in the future when it's needed.
Enough about me now! :grin: How are the trackdays? Still enjoying it?

Hi buddy! :drinking:
Life's going ok, the pandemic hasn't helped doing everything we like. Still enjoying the Ed. 30 on weekends on mountain roads, mostly. I've sold the diesel Golf and bought a Skoda Octavia vRS mk3 2.0 TSI DSG estate for family duties and I've finished upgrading it recently. It's almost as fast as my Ed. 30 but much cheaper to run after fitting a LPG kit.
I haven't done any track days since late 2019. I plan to return this year after doing a big maintenance to the Eddy. My timing chain is still spot on but I'm going to replace it because the chain plastic guides get brittle due to age.
I hope to see your lovely Ed. 30 running sweet with more power soon. :driver:
