[QUOTE=ImTheDevil;1323206]What does the smole smell like? [QUOTE]

Smells like a bad turbo.

White smoke from a 1.8T is a tell-tale sign of coolant leaking past the turbo seals. Another cause could be a slow-leaking headgasket or cracked head, but it's a much rarer occurance.

 

I had used seafoam in the gas the other day but it was smoking before that. I been thinking turbo as well, but everything I read about bad turbo is a sound coming from the turbo but I have no sounds coming from it.

I just had the oil changed the other day and it did not look bad at all I have no coolant loss either. I think turbo as well. I guess I will start looking into a ko4 upgrade? What do I need to get for something like that? Thanks in advance!

 

The K04's are convenient because you can keep your EM and just bolt it on the same as the K03. An ecu upgrade is usually done too to take advantage of it's full potential. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's ok to keep using your stock ecu if you need time to build up more funds or if you don't care about taking advantage.

 

Sorry. Double post.

 

Ok great Thanks! I will have to look into them. Where is a good place to pick one up?

 

This place has one for a good price. I bought my control arms from here and never had any problems.

cxracing.com: 99-02 K04 022 turbo Audi S3 TT 1.8T AJH AMK, Bolt On Replacement for Factory Turbo

 

(does not fit A4 or VW Passat 1.8T Engine) This is what it says on the site, so that means it wont work on mine right?

 

You need the KO4-015 not the 022

 

Thanks for the heads up, do you know where I could get one? Thanks again!

 

I put that model number in on ebay and they all say engine codes except mine I have an AEB engine code. Thanks in advance.
