by the time (or if) my turbo fails this recall will be more well known hopefully so i dont think modifications will matter, look at all of us who got free injectors on our old FR's regardless of remaps or de-dpf's etc.
Cupra /S3 /Golf R turbo problems
- Thread starter tommy918
- Start date
Reading the rest of that Golf R forum thread, it would all appear to be internet hype. The part numbers in the APR message don't match the ones in the Audi bulletin, suggesting to me that it's all been made up over the Pond. VW UK, Audi UK and SEAT UK all seem to be unaware of the issue...
The audi bulletin i put up is for the GTI tubro not S3's, the numbers match for me.
That would be for the 1.8T then, as Audi don't make a 2.0T anymore like they did with the 8P. I think this is all being blown out of proportion. They've had a couple of turbos go pop in the States (where buyer power is king. They get 10 year warranty on DSG boxes remember) and so a bulletin goes out to dealers to look out for a dodgy batch. This is not a recall!
Few Golf R have gone pop in this country aswell
Audi also sell the 2.0T in two versions
2.0TSI 220bhp and 2.0TSI 296bhp (S3) (both sold as TFSI)

Obviously I was not talking about the S3, due to your mentioning the GTI, but feel free to point out the 220PS 2.0T A3 on the Audi UK website because I'm not seeing it...
I'd also like to hear the stories of Cupra turbos going pop because like the Audi they seem to be non-existent. This is a non-story and all the cars involved are still in the manufacturers warranty period, so there's no real problem, is there?

try the US version. And no its not a real problem unless like many many of us we are going at least stage 1
Like Graham says just because the cars are in different countries... doesn't mean its not a problem.
The turbo's are all made in the same place.
Of they are multi brand then shouldn't they have already been aware of the TSB?????
Of course they know. Does nobody else work in an industry where we lie to the customer because its going to cost too much right now. Its all about cash flow. VWUK probably just cant take the hit on the books just yet.
Not always the case, what may be an issue in one country may not be an issue in another, plus for all intents and purposes they are separate companies
Every car manufacturer has a contingancy budget for recalls and upgrades , if it was a safety recall it would be done overnight across all brands.
They have the money available for the recall but it's not hit that territory yet , I would imagine there would have to be a percentage number of failures hit first before it becomes a recall.
And it is an osaged case at the moment.
The Audi s1 was held back because of a fuel line issue all production stopped and the recall carried out, that was on a car where there had only been 50 or so deliveries to customers and showrooms.
im starting to get confused now...
