MadManMike Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I swear to god G40 wheels are 14", I was looking at getting 13's because the standard G40 wheels were too big!

the666ers Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 That wheel is an R.A that fred pictured, so are the g40 wheels, so are mk2 gti wheels. They are all the R.A design just available in 13, 14, and 15 inch.Mine didnt go on easily because they are from a Scirroco so the centre is a bit fatter - but it's worth it beause 14's are perfect for the golf.Theres no reason ra's won't go on any 4x100 vw providing you have the right bolts, basically and polo up to mk3 and golf to mk2 is 4x100 so they'll go right on?

Prawny Baby Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 whoooooooooooooooooa!i thought this thread was dead forgive me for skulking round these parts mini people.... just looking for a little info!does anyone know much about the VAG 1.8 turbo motors?ive heard a lot about the 1.8 20 valve, is this the 125bhp one fitted to the A3 1.8 sport?how many valves does the 1.8 turbo have?any info would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the666ers Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 1.8 turbos are 20v. Just turboed versions of the 120bhp one.If you can, avoid the non turbo ones. They're weak! If you need any more information then just grab an issue of pvw or golf+ and I can guarantee a wealth of info on the 20vt engines...Basically VAG made lots of different ones, the two codes I know are AGU (180bhp) and BAM (225bhp tt engine) They're both turboed, and then they made 2 N/A versions which were 150BHP and 120 i believe...Edition 38 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

011001000110010101110010 Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 Bad luck when it goes wrong (if it ever does) and you will need some special tool supplied by Audi at £500 an hour rent or £4000 to buy to use it once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prawny Baby Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 Nice nick, why not buy a derv? Audi do nice ones 1.9 2.0 2.5 or even a 3.0!
