Lambda is out however I didn’t think it’s running closed loop without the rear one, that needs to wait for the new exhaust... air box is on its way.

Got the tie rod end out today, after leaving for a few day with anti seize on, I also fixed a the last engine faults, no lights on dash board at all which is nice.
Left to do short term to get MOT
-Get drive shafts on.
-add rear lambda, and wire
-add air filter, doing a modded 1.6fsi intake
-bundle up wiring

Can you warm it up a little with a blow torch, the sort used for plumbing ..

It’s staying, I’ll just put the new one in the new exhaust, was just to test my rear lambda wiring anyway.

I’ve removed loads of these mate and they never come out with brute force, even with a breaker bar. You need to put a ring ended spanner on it (bloody big one too from memory) and shock it by hitting the spanner with a hammer.

The front one was ok, that just needed force the rear one which on the fsi exhaust is the nox sensor as-well is in just an annoying place also just wont come out and I fear I will damage the exhaust mounts if I give it too much, I think I could use my hammer wrench on it but i can see this going wrong, so it’s staying there forever and an new exhaust is going on anyway as I want to use the GTi manifold rather than the fsi one I’m using at the moment.

Yep that’s the one I’m taking about. Don’t blame you.

Well I’m inpatient, so I had a crack at the lambda and with my lambda tool and my milwaukee and it got it out in seconds amazing. Fitted new lambda and also removed the hub which I will take to get the driveshaft pressed out of so I can refit the driveshafts. Also ordered a brake system pressurisation system for doing a one man clutch bleed, that will be fun.
Engine still seems to be running open loop I think the lambdas seem to heat, and return a control signal but don’t seem to be used for fuelling maybe it has a funny map on the ecu mmmm we will see hoping the new air intake system and will solve the over fuelling issue. We will see, we will see...

Ok today I cracked the open loop issue, seems I had the wrong front lambda put in the lupo gti one I had from the racing manifold I have and it’s now running closed loop.
Also took off the bracket for the aircon and the alternator and fitted a 1.4i bracket so I could fit the a2 aircon unit, unfortunately I then found I didn’t have the bolts for the aircon unit!

Today I got my bolts from Volkswagen, unlike audi I have to pay up front for parts but the parts guys is better.
I fitted my aircon pump and alternator belt which too much less time than I thought, then I connected up the alternator, and its charging away!
I had a crack at my temp gauge not working (G2) of the temp sensor however the (G62) is working fine. Will need further investigation, but don't see it being too much of a pain!
I also have my air intake 98% complete just awaiting a small piece of pipe, the FSI intake works great and I am safe in the knowledge air flow is not restrictive.
So what is left of phase one (MOT PHASE)
is
- Fix the blower (missing J126)
- Wire up air conditioning
- bleed clutch (waiting on brakes as don't want to do this while the brake calipers of off the discs
- Get drive shafts on. (shafts being pressed out of knuckle currently)
- bundle up wiring
- drop links
- discs and brakes all round
- Temp sensor
- Mod cooling fan to work like 1.4i (half way there now)
- put car back together as audi meant it to be
And then we are MOT ready
Once MOT is done
Phase 2 will be more improving and fine tuning.
- Fit Bilstein B6 suspension all round inc all the bolts and struct bearing etc etc
- Maybe get a few bits of body work touched up.
- Under tray fitting
- Maybe the ashley manifold I have (still reading about how this changes to dynamics as don't want to spoil the engine torque.
- New exhaust custom made.
- Deep clean the interior so it looks like new
- other bits a pieces i'm sure I will fit loads!
- Oh and look at alloy options (VAG only, maybe sports wheels)

I have been following your Angry Bee project post by post, and just wanted to say that I really am enjoying and am interested in what you are sharing with us.
I am a FSI owner who appreciates the way the FSI drives, handles and "feels", and would love to have a little more power and a lot less vulnerability under the hood.
THANK YOU for taking the time to give us ongoing updates, and that you include your frustrations, challenges and progress makes it even more real.
Keep up the great work!

Thank you, the AVY engine is extremely similar in a lot of mechanical ways, it just lacks all the sensors etc, it even amazingly doesn’t even have an EGR!
Will keep posting a what I’ve been doing it’s hard to keep it in one solid plan as I’m making up as I go along and my experience level is quite low, have done a few car electric bits in the past, but mechanical bits everything is very much my first time!

Then that makes this project even more impressive.

2 off the list today both cooling related.
Temp sensor
Only the ecu side was working I had checked everything and couldn't find the reason so I got out my amp-meter to see what was going on, tested the live of G2 to ground and could see current, tested it to its ground nothing... turns out this was my second wiring fault and I had put the plug into the wrong hole in the plug, simple fix but dash temp gauge as it should be.
Cooling fan
The 1.4i and the fsi the cooling fan working in a different way, on the fsi there is a temp sensor on the inlet pipe that goes to the ecu so the ecu can control the temp the fan comes on this is a 2 pin temp sensor, the 1.4i is different it seems the temp sensor is for the radiator fan has 2 sensor in it and is 4 pin and goes directly to the pin 3 and 5 (from memory) on the fan controller, the other side of the sensor goes to earth, so simply when 3 and 5 go to earth the fan comes on, it may be that on is for high speed and one for low speed i'm not sure, but low speed came on at 96 degrees on the ecu which is about where it should so seems to be working correctly. yay! currently using a temporary earth point, but I will terminate most likely to earth the loom earths or the head light earth, or maybe behind the air con res.
