couldn't you find a better colour?....only joking..car looks fine....
:thumbsup:.

 

[scotty89]

Cheers mate

I have a wee problem though
On startup when i turn the ignition on it makes a grinding noise for a second and also when it's idling I can hear a ticking noise coming from under the bonnet?

 

[Nath1790]

Car looks in pretty good condition, good buy! Wish I got mine looking this clean.

 

[scotty89]

Bump to my last question thanks

 

[vrbob]

if the ticking noise is coming from a black box on the drivers side of engine bay its nothing to worry about as this is the charcoal canister and they all make that noise.

as for grinding I would defo investigate that more as any noise like that aint good

 

[scotty89]

It's only started since I reversed it into my lockup
Which is on a steep hill
Dunno if it's done any damage
It came with a full service history and it's currently at 164k on the clock
My first thought was the starter motor

 

[Joshstan]

The grinding noise on start is more than likely the starter motor they can be taken apart and cleaned up is it a dull grinding noise or high pitched?

 

[scotty89]

It's like a gear grinding noise
Quiet though

 

[Joshstan]

I should imagine that will be starter motor if it happens directly as the car starts for a second or so

 

[scotty89]

Comes and goes
But yeah only for a second

 

[scotty89]

It goes away when the car is up to temp and I turn it off and on again

 

[Joshstan]

That's how mine started off with my golf but get it checked out to be sure cos if it is something else then it could be bad if it's starter motor then that's dead simple

Stuck for ideas with it being a 5 door
Can't really find many 5 doors on this
Will s3 bumpers fit or will I need different arches
What can be done to the 150bhp engine

S3 bumpers should fit no differently to a 5 door A3 to that of a 3 door A3... same basic shape etc... you are right though, not many 5 door cars on here...

As for tuning... I'd start here..
http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a3-s3-...ations-k03-k03s-agu-aum-engines-fwd-cars.html

The 1.8t engine is very tunable with the right bits... yours is essentially the same base engine Bill @ Badger5 runs in his Lupo... thats running over 360hp.. (with mods of course)

[scotty89]

Arches on an s3 look wider though

 

[scotty89]

Finally updating this

Lots have happened

One of them being getting run off the road by a van man last year






Insurance where going to write it off so I didn't go through insurance
I was all up for fixing it myself but never got round to it so it sat in my lockup for over a year

 

[scotty89]

That soon changed this year
I'm guessing driving a 1.0 107 I realised I missed the power
So start of this year I booked it in at a body shop to get the damage sorted




Also got new brakes and brake lines fitted
Also droplinks,driveshafts,cv joints new rear calipers as they where seized

 

[scotty89]

Got this cheap so had it fitted just need fogs now





Bought some coilovers



All I'm waiting for now is a new exhaust and I'll fit my coilovers then it's ready to be back on the road



How it's sitting just now waiting to get driven again

Fund dependant I'm planing on fitting a
Fmic
Fitting a catch can and simplifying the pcv system heard aum engine is bad for getting blocked up with gundge
N249 bypass
S2000 filter
Bigger TIP

 

[Dohcwp]

nice ! those 5 door models are extremely rare here in SA ! i've only seen 2 of those here

 

[Erikn89nl]

Bodywork repair looks real good mate! Glad to see you've got it back out of a long slumber

 

[scotty89]

Thanks
Yeh just something a bit different
Not many 5 doors on the forum either

 

[scotty89]

I was breaking my heart seeing it dumped in my garage
I lost all the love for it after the crash
But it's fixed now
Should bring a smile back to my face

 

[scotty89]

Hopefully these come by Saturday





I know it's a 1.9tdi centre but I've been told it will fit
Gets rid of the centre silencer too

 

[scotty89]

Wee audi passed it's mot

Did need the back brake hoses changed for it thougg

Pick it up today after work
Looking forward to driving it again that's for sure

Time to work on the mod list aswell

 

[ayfreetee]

Get those rims painted black buddy, they look great on silver cars, although I am a bit biased

 

[scotty89]

Would like a nice set of 18s mate
Maybe the rs4 reps

 

[ayfreetee]

Yeah that's what I have, but in 19" with red rim blades.

 

[scotty89]

Either of these I'm looking for

 

[scotty89]

Gave it a quick clean
Came up good considering its been off the road for a year

 

[ayfreetee]

Prefer them like this.
