On Monday I'll have a check over of the bottom of the car and the power steering pump replaced.
More on the noise I'm hearing. Apparently it's not engine related. When I rev the car on standstill it's all normal.
It doesn't appear itself below 40km/h. However once I pass the 60km/h mark it becomes evident.
Today after coming back from work I could even hear it if I went to neutral as well.
This makes me think if it is wheel bearing or different related? ?
What do you guys think?Comment

Are the rs2 wheel bearings the same all around? I front and back similar?

Update:
Rear left bearing is knackered and getting replaced. Thanks Pete for a quick turnover of parts!
Refurbished power steering pump will go on, belt tension will be checked, plugs and compression check as well.
I ordered a complete set of rear bushings from Albert, street density for future replacement as well.
Also booked in July to replace my catalysts. Mine have done some kms already but should be sellable, made by BN pipes. I just wanted to refresh them as I prepare the car for MOT

More parts...
Rear wheel bearing fixed and car checked up.
Compression was 120psi on 1,2,5 cyls and 115 on 3 and 4 so I'm still ok
What I'll probably be doing is reduce the timing on 3 and 4 cyl slightly to keep those cyls more safe. That is of course downside to power but hey!Comment

Lower compression should mean lower peak cylinder pressures so not really necessary to reduce timing in my opinion. Of course it's not my engine though...

Cold engine, but in fairness the compression has always been an estimate rather than an absolute. Head was skimmed but also ported in the combustion area so it may be actually lower than 9.
Last rebuild was a good few years ago now, from last engine rebuilt at Brian. So car has done miles. Cant complainLast edited by A80Avant; 23 April 2016, 11:56.Comment

Correction
This is the actual compression on cold engine

The compression readings is fine to me.the more important thing is the differences between min and max number.
I have seen a lot of aan with 105psi crossing all 5 pots running without problems. Ie, no burning oil issue but those
Are stock and chipped car not on big turbo.one of a few I5 from Asia.Comment

Ok I'll be reducing the cylinder timing on 4 and 3 a bit for protection. In July I'm scheduling a knock map session which will allow vems to monitor that aspect of things as well.
Still waiting for some bits and bobs and I'd say I'm covered for now. There used to be an eBay seller always offering the behr main radiator but I can't seem to find it anymore. Anyone knows where I could find one?
