Cause found: SuperPro bushes failed after 10000km. There is about 3mm gap around arm. Will be switching to OEM S3 ones.
do they not have a 36k warranty?

How do the S3 ones differ against your OEM ones?

I call it S3, but they are from Audi A2. Part number 8Z0407183A. About 10 euro/each.

I am looking for some HPFP. Is APR worth the money? I was considering Autotech internals but i have found lot of failures. It is not failure of internals but the seal what is not easy to source.


In all honesty yes, the APR pump is worth it. for keeping up to date for the past 4 years, to date I am only aware of 1 APR pump failure due to camshaft bucket wearing thru. So not directly the pumps fault.

In saying that, there are members on here that have had almost no issue's with their autotech internals since they revised the whole setup.

In either case check your new camshaft bucket every 2-3000miles for the first 3-6 months. So see wear rate on camshaft (fuel pump follower) follower. I had the follower wear thru in just shy of 3000km's on my own car last year. But from the same batch (lot I ordered and Part number) I have seen people go 20-30000kms, without even a hint of wear.

Your VRS looks great btw, I'm no fan of silver cars in general. But I do like this.  :notworthy:

I think you accidentally inverted/mirrored your interior shots?
The steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car.  :P

I just checked the price on those BT forged wheels - they're CHEAP!  Are those 18 or 19?

Shame I already got my neuspeeds..
