When {you have to|it's a must to|it's important to|you must|you need to} {give up|hand over|quit|surrender} your beloved {ride|experience|journey|trip} {because of|due to} overseas job reallocation, bidding farewell {is never|is rarely|isn't} {easy|simple|straightforward} {especially|particularly} for a petrolhead like Sebastian. He has spent a sizeable {amount|quantity} of effort to spruce up his BMW 116i, or as he affectionally {puts|places} it, the "white horse". Much of the modifications are {inspired|impressed} {directly|immediately|instantly|straight} by the 1er bloodline's {current|present} {top|high|prime} performer M135i. It {also|additionally} helps when {you have|you could have|you have got|you may have|you might have|you will have|you've|you've got|you've gotten} a supportive {spouse|partner} who {incidentally|by the way} {is also|can also be|can be} the chief finance officer to agree on the approval of fund {release|launch}. But first, being a passionate Liverpool FC husband-and-{wife|spouse} fan {team|crew|group|staff|workforce} alleviates most disagreements, anyway. The BMW 1 Series is a compact {family|household} hatchback designed to rival the likes of the Audi A3 and Mercedes A-Class. Despite being the entry-{level|degree|stage} of the {brand|model}, this {overall|general|total} German {package|bundle|package deal} {is not|is just not|isn't|just isn't|shouldn't be|will not be} too shabby. The {interior|inside} is {well|effectively|nicely|properly}-{built|constructed}, {handling|dealing with} and engine {performance|efficiency} is of BMW benchmark, and {we all know|everyone knows} {where|the place} this benchmark stands. With {a little|a bit|a bit of|a little bit|just a little|slightly|somewhat} "touchup" on this zippy {car|automobile|automotive}, the {result|consequence|end result|outcome} {can be|could be|may be|might be|will be} {pretty|fairly} sporty {thanks to|because of|due to} some {clever|intelligent} {software|software program} {management|administration} which Sebastian has {nicely|properly} executed. By piggy-backing on the {available|accessible|obtainable|out there} 136 bhp from the 1.6-litre turbocharged engine with Kelleners Sports' chiptuning setup, {an extra|an additional} 25 horses and {40|forty} Nm torque {were|had been|have been} extracted. Putting it into {sports|sports activities} mode {will also|can even|may also|may even|will even} make the turbo work {harder|more durable|tougher}, {resulting in|leading to} a {more|extra} responsive drive. Sebastian has a knack for {visual|visible} enhancement and {performance|efficiency} upgrades too.





Enlarging the exit ports, doing a {3|three} angle valve job on the ports and flowing {the head|the pinnacle|the top} will {greatly|drastically|enormously|significantly|tremendously|vastly} {help|assist} {improve|enhance} the ariflow and {should be|must be|needs to be|ought to be} {considered|thought of|thought-about} {essential|important} {if you are|if you're|in case you are} after {large|giant|massive} {power|energy} {gains|beneficial properties|features|good points|positive aspects|positive factors}. The later 2.{0|Zero} TFSi engines reportedly {suffer|endure|undergo} from cam follower {wear|put on} and the intake clogging up with carbon. See our 2.{0|Zero} TFSi article for {details|particulars}. See our 1.8T tuning {guide|information} for {more|extra} {tips on|recommendations on|tips about} this {excellent|glorious|wonderful} engine. Fitting {a larger|a bigger} turbo {will be|can be|might be|shall be|will likely be|will probably be} a logical {upgrade|improve} path on all {cars|automobiles|vehicles}. The KO4 {makes sense|is sensible|is smart} {if you have|if in case you have|in case you have|when you have|when you've got|you probably have} the KO3 turbo, even diesels will {benefit|profit} from a turbo {upgrade|improve}, see our engine {specific|particular} articles for {tips on|recommendations on|tips about} which turbo's {to choose|to decide on} on these. Hybrid turbos are {also|additionally} an {option|choice|possibility}. Fitting an induction {kit|equipment|package} or panel filter to the 2.0TFSi engine will give a {more|extra} relaxed drive, the engine will hold revs {more|extra} {easily|simply} {and you'll find|and you will find} {more|extra} {top|high|prime} {end|finish} {power|energy}.





Panel filters and inductions kits MAKE NO Difference on the Diesel {models|fashions} so {don't|do not} waste time fitting them. {The standard|The usual} airboxes {flow|circulate|circulation|move|movement|stream} {really well|rather well|very well}. {The earlier|The sooner} A3 is {prone to|liable to|susceptible to|vulnerable to} {lift|carry|elevate|raise} off oversteer thanks {in part|partially|partly} to {it's|it is} torsion beam rear suspension. This {can be a|could be a|generally is a|is usually a} blessing or a curse {depending|relying} {on your|in your} driving {style|fashion|model|type} {but|however} this little trait has {got|acquired|bought|obtained|received} me out of {trouble|bother|hassle} {a number of|a lot of|a variety of|numerous|plenty of|quite a few|quite a lot of|various} {times|instances|occasions}. The Twincharged engines {offer|provide|supply} {a lot of|a number of|a variety of|a whole lot of|loads of|lots of|numerous|plenty of|quite a lot of} {performance|efficiency} {but|however} {are not|are usually not|aren't|should not|usually are not|will not be} that economical {unless|except|until} {driven|pushed} {extremely|extraordinarily} frugally, and {they don't|they do not} {offer|provide|supply} {massive|huge|large} returns on tuning them. Handling on later editions of the A3 have been {considerably|significantly} improved. Fit poly bushings and anti roll bars to tighten {things|issues} up if {they are|they're} {starting to|beginning to} {wear|put on}. Rear suspension bushes {should be|must be|needs to be|ought to be} checked {if you have|if in case you have|in case you have|when you have|when you've got|you probably have} a rattle from the rear. {This can be|This may be} {quite|fairly} {a big|a giant|an enormous} job to do and requires a {special|particular} {tool|device|instrument|software} {but|however} your {handling|dealing with} {will be|can be|might be|shall be|will likely be|will probably be} {greatly|drastically|enormously|significantly|tremendously|vastly} compromised {if you|for those who|if you happen to|in case you|in the event you|should you|when you} {leave|depart|go away} the worn bushes on the {car|automobile|automotive}.





{You can use|You need to use|You should use|You should utilize} polyurethane bushes {but|however} {we would|we might|we'd} {suggest|counsel|recommend} {the main|the primary|the principle} rear bushes are left as VAG spec rubber ones. We {have not|haven't} tried and {tested|examined} all tyres {but|however} in our {experience|expertise} {the best|one of the best|the most effective|the perfect|the very best} tires for the Mk1 A3 are the Goodyear Eagle F1 which, {although|though} they {wear|put on} {quite|fairly} {quickly|rapidly|shortly} they do add {a lot of|a number of|a variety of|a whole lot of|loads of|lots of|numerous|plenty of|quite a lot of} cornering grip and {feel|really feel}. Conti Sports and Michelin Pilots {also|additionally} work very {well|effectively|nicely|properly} and are {great|nice} in wet {conditions|circumstances|situations}. The 2.0T FSI engine {is quite|is kind of|is sort of} remappable {but|however} early engines {were|had been|have been} prone {to a few|to a couple|to some} weaknesses which thankfully Audi have now sorted out. The 2.{0|Zero} TDI {is a great|is a good|is a superb} engine, if {a little|a bit|a bit of|a little bit|just a little|slightly|somewhat} agricultural {compared to|in comparison with} {other|different} {more|extra} refined diesels, with a slight lump on tickover. {It is a|It's a} {solid|stable|strong} performer and returns stellar {levels|ranges} of {fuel|gas|gasoline} {economy|economic system|financial system} even when pushed {hard|arduous|exhausting|laborious|onerous}. Our 2.0TDI tuning {guide|information} has {more|extra} {information|data|info} on this engine and what to look out for. A remap on the 2.0T FSI can push {the power|the ability|the facility} to over 250bhp {easily|simply}.





Fitting a twin intercooler to the A3 like {the ones|those} used {in the|within the} S3 will {help|assist} {to address|to deal with|to handle} {the problem|the issue} of heat soak. A {front|entrance} mounted intercooler {is better|is best|is healthier} {but|however} {will require|would require} {a different|a distinct|a special|a unique} intake, like that on the 225bhp TT {where|the place} the inlet is on {the right|the appropriate|the best|the correct|the fitting|the precise|the proper|the suitable} and this makes it {easier|simpler} {to connect|to attach} a {front|entrance} mounted intercooler. A strut brace will {help|assist} {to give|to offer|to present|to provide} {a little|a bit|a bit of|a little bit|just a little|slightly|somewhat} {more|extra} {front|entrance} {end|finish} rigidity. Brake upgrades are {a good idea|a good suggestion}. {You can|You may|You possibly can|You'll be able to} {actually|really|truly} {source|supply} some {nice|good} brakes from the VW {parts|components|elements} bin. The 1.6 will {probably|in all probability|most likely} have the 256 or 288mm disc measure them to {check|examine|test|verify} this {before|earlier than} {buying|shopping for} an {upgrade|improve}. The 2.{8|Eight} Golf {uses|makes use of} 312mm and the R32 334mm {both|each} of which make {an excellent|a superb|a wonderful} {upgrade|improve} path {for your|in your|on your|to your} A3. The S3, RS3 and RS4 are {also|additionally} fitted with {bigger|greater|larger} discs and {providing|offering} the stud {pattern|sample} is {correct|appropriate|right} {and you have|and you've got} {the right|the appropriate|the best|the correct|the fitting|the precise|the proper|the suitable} clearance {within|inside} your wheels {you could|you can|you could possibly|you may|you might|you possibly can|you would} use these as your {upgrade|improve}.
