  1. Hi guys. 2mths ago my bke engine siezed after the turbo blew and emptied the sump in less than 300 yards. I have installed a bkc engine out of a 55 plate A3. "my car is an 08 plate touran. The garage are having problems as the car is stuck in limp mode. Its showing a crank senor error. Due to this the car is hard to start and when started will not go over 3000rpm. Is it because this older type engine uses a crank sensor the tourans computer is not compatable with or cannot understand the reading the crank sensor is sending back to it? Really stuck in a rock and a hard place here as they dont know what to do next. The car had a stage 1" tune months before the turbo failure to, could the tune be corrupted due to the battery being disconnected so long for them to do the engine swap over? Any advise would be great as this car owes me 5k now with buying it and now the engine change. Be a shame to scrap her if we can fix the fault. Thanks. Chris.
  2. My turbo blew two days ago and the engine seized. I found a replacement engine. My engine is a BXE. The numbers after the BXE are different to the numbers on my engine number sticker. The engine is out of a 57 plate touran and my car is a 08. Will the other engine fit my car as they are both 105bhp engines. Asking as do not know what the other numbers are after the BXE. Chris
  3. Hi guys. As i do not know much about turbo diesels i thought id ask. I had my 2008 1.9tdi stage one tuned. Since the tune i notice a whistling sound when i accelerate through the gears. I read online this could be the turbo spooling up more pressure due to the tune. Or could it be the accuator itself. Is this whistling normal after a stage 1 tune? Its running 160bhp and 325lb of torque off this tune. I could not hear this prior to the tune 3mths ago but have since. It could be a biproduct of the tune but thought id ask as know very little about turbo cars in general. Thanks. Chris.
  4. Hi all. My 2008 touran se does not have front fog lights. Is the wiring there already if i want to fit front fogs?
  5. Hi all,Chris here. Just joined and thought i drop by and say hi😁. I just bought an old touran 2008 running the 1.9tdi engine. Had a stage one tune as i plan to tow a Caravan. Must say the difference since the tune has been quite surprising. Anyway i will be dropping by now and thought id introduce myself. Chris
