Took the S3 down to R tech Performance to see what exactly broke when it blew up last video. Instagram: / trhamza_ Email Enquiries: hamza_trh@hotmail.com
So is the balance shaft issue a common problem? I have an Octavia VRS with the KO3 turbo engine with 112,000 miles and I'm a bit concerned!!

@@iantaylor620 They wear down and usually first drops the oil pressure. When they are grinded enough they just seize up but I think that is very rare. Usually its just oil pressure problem and you have to change the whole assembly. VIS freewheel is supposed to fix that problem preventively.

Not prioritizing your health 5. Wasting your precious time 6. Wanting something (instead write a plan and work towards it) 7. Chasing meaningless relationships 8. Wasting or draining your energy from beating your meat 🥩 9. Wasting time by scrolling social media 10. Nailbiting/nailpicking habit for good (if you do it - consider stopping it as it makes you mentally weak + affects your confidence and all other areas of your life!)
