I have seen this. It is pretty sweet. I wish the individual modules were available, or someone had a login...

Nice...Looks like a proper English version self study guide. Not the "google translate" version.

Very Informative and timing is perfect. Since I am selling my launch edition Baby RS, this is great info for the new owner. Happy New Year

Been around a while that SSP.

Here’s a link to more.

Always a good document to be re-shared for the new guys.

Awesome post thanks.

I love seeing things like this, followed by some vendor's random product that was tested for one afternoon on a dyno and "out performs" factory parts.

You’re a legend! I don’t know much about cars, I will learn a lot with that pdf!

Awesome read, never seen this before and shit I work at Audi. Lol. I'm going to do more digging and see what else I can find. Btw our connecting rods are forged. That's a cool feature.

Great info, thanks for posting!

Hmmmm.... "The five-cylinder era continued until 1998 when a new V6 TFSI engine was introduced."

[RS3TP]

Wow, this is amazing. I saved in PDF and printed it for keep sake with my RS3 docs. Thank you for sharing I had never seen this. Talk about a trick, high tech motor :)

Cool, I thought they were the powdered iron type rods and not forged. That explains why they can handle up to 500wtq ... nice

Someone explain what I am missing here. Surely you don't need to remove the timing chain to remove the valve cover.

[fastlaser92]

I believe the cam shafts are bolted to the valve cover not the head itself if that makes sense.

I see on page nine it's not really a traditional valve cover. It looks like you need to remove the side cover over the cam phasers, remove the chain (and maybe phasers?) and then you can pull it off with the cams attached. Maybe this is the way all the Audi valvelift systems are, never paid attention before. Kind of weird but it certainly seems a lot more stable.

yea its not really a valve cover. They call it a "cylinder head cover". it is a little odd for sure. In the literature it says its done this way to eliminate vibrations at high speed since its a more rigid assembly. Not sure how true that is or not. Certainly interesting. I guess the downside is that some of the cam bearings are built directly into the head itself so you can't really replace the bearings if they get damaged (requires new head).

[Leonitus86]

Yup, pretty stoked about that. Also explains why some cars can take abuse with power mods making over 600hp/700hp on stock block. Not sure it will last that long at those power levels but still.

I guess the rods are just too skinny to handle more torque than 500?
