Happily driving them and no complain to raise? or all move to Whatsapp Telegram etc oredi? Me old man still prefer Forum. Found water pump housing was leaking last Friday when I went to add mods. Would not have found out if I waited until next service at 45K. I was monitor a slow decrease in coolant level over the past month, so now I know. Car mileage currently at 36500km. Slight possibility SCS aftersales service missed it because there is no need to remove the bottom engine cover to drain the oil. So I might have been running the past 6000km with a leaking water pump. Had always thought the over 100degC on water temps was consistent with the oil temp, but after getting it replaced, I beg to differ now, it's running within range of 85 to 95 degC. After my mods last friday, I am seeing below 100degC on my oil, no matter how hard I whack. So I recommend guys on the 2.0T engine to do a good undercarriage check every 10K mileage at least, because these water pumps are known to bust around there. The mechanic said I can run it over 30K is kinda impressive. Edited October 20, 2019 by adrian140180 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not strange for the 2.0T, it is possible to bust it at 10K. The housing cracked, and leak dribble dribble for the longest of time. The entire housing is made of plastic, so honestly no surprises how long they can last. In the picture below, there is 1 crack along the circumference on the left side where the harness goes, another crack is on the valve section facing you in the picture. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How yr stage 1? I cannot be bothered with warranty, I was doing hardware mod the same time, so just ask the shop order in the water pump for replacement. Part came within the hour from stockist. If I send back to SCS dunno how many donkey days later and paper work I have to fill, plus my car is pretty much unrecognizable if I send it back. Do not want to give the SCS guys a hard time. The software is still adapting to my drive style, hard to comment, but the torque is now across the entire rev range. How you know I did stage 1? Who in the group tipped you off?

adrian140180 5th Gear October 20, 2019 Share October 20, 2019 Something I noticed the past 2 days of whacking this car. The burnt smell no longer appears when you rev high and hard. Usually comes past the 4000rpm mark, I still got it last tuesday with a little push. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose most of us go to AD for peace of mind and it's 5 years warranty 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
