STAGE 0 - before tuning
Here is a summary of recommendations that should be followed before any modification - increase - performance. These recommendations can safely achieve the performance that is required. However, these recommendations can also serve as a guide for extended maintenance to get the engine back to what it has lost in years of operation. These recommendations not only restore original performance, but also extend engine life.
- engine oil change, oil leak check
- oil filter replacement
- air filter replacement
- fuel filter replacement
- turbocharger check / check - WasteGate adjustment
- TCV (turbo control valve) inspection / replacement, leak inspection / vacuum tube replacement
- Injector Inspection / Inspection - Spark Plug Replacement
- clean / check for leaks / replace suction hoses
- tightness check of the intercooler
- check / clean the crankcase ventilation
- Changing the transmission oil
- slip control / clutch change
- leak check / cleaning of the cooling system
Subsequent to modification and after performing STAGE 0, we recommend a follow-up service plan that certainly will not harm cars without
modification.
- Change engine oil after 15,000km or 1 year (10,000km recommended)
- Replace air filter after 30,000km (20,000km recommended)
- Change the transmission oil after 50,000km
- Use quality fuel (Benzina, Aral, OMV,…)
- Drive reasonably - gradually warm the engine / cool down the turbo before turning off the engine
- Set WasteGate to the correct pressure according to your tuning stage
- Check the brakes and inflate the tires at least once a month
- Do not forget the other refills - servo, differential, angle gearbox, haldex,…
