Nice, we test drove a wagon 2.0t tip for my mom a few months ago. It seemed like there were a lot of vibrations at idle in D, specially with the ac on. Even in N it was bad. It was down right terrible compared to the GLI she has now, same engine, but with a DSG. Have you noticed that in your loaner car at all?

Hey, Well Again I'm checking in, I'm back in StL for break and will be here till July 10... Anyway, I have a huge problem, Boost Leak! Its terrible. The car is slow as hell in the low revs. Top end is still quick, but from 3k-5k rpm is slow. Does anyone know the cheapest way to test/fix this. I need to do the timing belt too. Jeff I know you can do it, but can you do the boost leak too? Doubt it will be happening because the car is most likely not going to be in my driveway this summer, but if it is I want to make it fun again.

if it is an apparent leak that i will not have to track down, ie. looking at hoses and saying wow there is the culprit, as i have done with my own car, that should be fine
as far as the tb is concerned, yeah i can do it........ it will be down at least a day and will not be cheap
let me rephrase it, i can do it on a 1.8, should be able to on a 2.7 but i would need to look at it to see
i will say this, i am not a master mechanic and i am not responsible if anything should happen to the car while in my hands or after it leaves my garage...... take that how you want, but i am not insured to fix problems later on........ now that being said, parktown or any other big time dealership can do the same tb for about 1500 i think with kit included, you would have to pay me to buy you a kit and then i will tell you a price after i see how hard it is
on a 1.8 i would probably charge about 600.......
i do know there is a guy local, named matt mosemoe that does this kind of work and is apparently very skilled, not sure what he charges
he normally hangs out on aw in the stl section

2.0T + tip = terrible vibration. I hate it enough that I am going to get rid of it next year. Manuals aren't as bad. Audi claims its the FSI technology. GLI/A3 have a different configuration than the A4 2.0T-wise, Tranverse vs. Longitudinally mounted. Apparantly the GLI/A3 have far less vibrations.
