    I have a issue with my 2014 A4 3.0 tdi, the gear box works fine but i have a variety of vibrations when it's at idle in D or R its fine in P or N, the severity of the vibration changes as i move the steering wheel and as soon as im in motion it completely gone, i can move the steering when it under load with my foot on the brake and in certain positions the vibration has gone then other positions its there, so sometimes when i pull up to a stop i have a vibration then move the steering wheel and it comes and goes , if i put in neutral or park it doesn't happen, if i pull away it goes, i have no fault codes and the box is slick and smooth through all gears and have no noises, anyone have any ideas

      Not bad at all, means you cruise down the highway at 70 mph around 2,000 RPM (might be less, I don't remember).

      The key now is to work out where the fault lies. Do you know if the sensor on the other side is the same?

      That is a great question! In an engine it could mean aerating the oil which is bad. Looking at the cross section images of the DL501, it looks like you would really need to overfill. I did a quick search and I couldn’t find anything in the community relating to overfilling. Generally if you put in what you take out you are safe. The only thing you don’t know is if the oil was low before. Are you having any issues?

    In my research I hve found out, there are several popular engine swaps enthusiasts choose, replacing the rotary engine (13B-MSP Renesis) with conventional piston engines for better reliability, more torque, and often more horsepower. Below are some common engine swap options for the Mazda RX-8: 1. LS V8 Engine Swap (Chevrolet) - Engines: LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6, LS7, LSX (Various displacements) - Power Potential: 350-700+ HP - Why It's Popular: The LS engine family is one of the most common swaps for the RX-8 due to its compact size, availability, reliability, and massive aftermarket support. It provides a significant power boost and torque improvement over the rotary engine. 2. 2JZ-GTE (Toyota Supra Engine) - Engine: 3.0L Twin-Turbo Inline-6 - Power Potential: 300-1000+ HP (with mods) - Why It's Popular: The 2JZ engine is known for its incredible strength and ability to handle high horsepower builds. This engine can produce massive amounts of power, and the aftermarket support is extensive, making it a strong choice for an RX-8 swap. 3. K20/K24 (Honda) - Engines: K20A, K20Z, K24A (from Honda Civic Type R, Acura TSX, etc.) - Power Potential: 200-600+ HP (with mods) - Why It's Popular: The K-series engines are highly tunable, reliable, and can rev high like the rotary while offering much more torque. They are also lighter than the rotary, improving handling in the RX-8. 4. SR20DET (Nissan) - Engine: 2.0L Turbo Inline-4 - Power Potential: 250-500+ HP (with mods) - Why It's Popular: The SR20DET is a popular turbocharged four-cylinder engine known for its reliability and tunability. It’s smaller and lighter than some other options, making it a good fit for an RX-8. 5. RB26DETT (Nissan Skyline GT-R Engine) - Engine: 2.6L Twin-Turbo Inline-6 - Power Potential: 300-600+ HP (with mods) - Why It's Popular: The RB26 is a legendary engine from the Nissan GT-R line, known for high-revving capability and strong performance potential. It’s a rarer swap but offers great power with potential for more. 6. 1UZ-FE / 3UZ-FE (Toyota V8) - Engine: 4.0L/4.3L DOHC V8 - Power Potential: 250-500 HP (with mods) - Why It's Popular: The 1UZ-FE is a strong and reliable V8 from Toyota’s luxury line (used in cars like the Lexus LS400). It provides smooth power delivery, good reliability, and plenty of aftermarket support for turbocharging or supercharging. 7. BMW S54 (BMW M3 Engine) - Engine: 3.2L Inline-6 (from E46 M3) - Power Potential: 330-600+ HP (with mods) - Why It's Popular: The S54 is known for its high-revving nature, making it a natural fit for drivers who love the rotary's high-RPM characteristics. It’s also a robust engine with lots of aftermarket potential. 8. EJ25 (Subaru WRX/STI Engine) - Engine: 2.5L Turbocharged Boxer-4 - Power Potential: 300-500+ HP (with mods) - Why It's Popular: The EJ25 engine, particularly from the WRX STI, offers a unique driving experience due to its turbocharged boxer configuration. It’s lighter than most other swaps and can be tuned for strong performance. 9. 1JZ-GTE (Toyota) - Engine: 2.5L Twin-Turbo Inline-6 - Power Potential: 280-600+ HP (with mods) - Why It's Popular: The 1JZ-GTE is a smaller and slightly more affordable cousin to the 2JZ, still offering plenty of tuning potential while being a bit more compact, making it easier to fit in the RX-8. 10. Ford Coyote V8 - Engine: 5.0L V8 (from Ford Mustang) - Power Potential: 400-800+ HP - Why It's Popular: The Ford Coyote is a modern V8 that produces excellent power right out of the box. It’s reliable, has a high rev range, and offers plenty of tuning potential for even more power. Considerations for an Engine Swap: - Mounting and Fabrication: Different engine mounts, transmission adapters, and custom driveshafts may be required for non-rotary engines. - Transmission Compatibility: You'll need to ensure the transmission fits the new engine or swap in a new transmission. - ECU and Wiring: A new engine control unit (ECU) or a custom wiring harness may be necessary. - Cooling and Fuel Systems: Higher horsepower engines may require upgraded cooling and fuel delivery systems. - Weight Distribution: Larger or heavier engines like V8s may affect the handling and balance of the RX-8. Swapping a different engine into the RX-8 can completely transform the car’s performance, but it often requires substantial work and expertise. Depending on the goals (track, street, or show), one of these engine swaps could make the RX-8 faster, more reliable, or unique.

    Hi guys i have an SQ5 2017 B8.5 , recently a fault code has appeared “P1B1C00” as i found out it’s related to the coolant system codes , i changed a new water pump and some other check up but still there . Everything is looks brand new in the car The only symptom that i can feel is when accelerating i can feel there is something wrong between the gears when it shift from one to another . A weird sound “Trrrrrrrr” that’s the closest to the sound 😂 . I am not sure if it’s from the gear or the engine But i couldn’t find out where is the real problem . Any ideas !!

    • @FindingSeconds
      @FindingSeconds 4 месяца назад

      Sounds more like a transmission problem. If the engine revs freely, and if you put it into a single gear and can go in/out of the throttle without the noise.. more than likely not the engine.

      Coolant wise you should be OK. With the turbo, fitting a good intercooler and oil coolers will be critical. I ended up with dual oil coolers on mine. Boosted applications will have to balance all 3!
