ok guys good question for you here When removing the gearbox the right thing to do is take off the drive shafts and the prop shaft and remove the gearbox with the transfer box right? Well if i was to undo the 4 bolts which hold the transfer box onto the gearbox then remove the gearbox would...

yes it is an 8p version and its certainly not the clutch slipping. i have looked on my vag and nothing is reported as faulty. What is high EGT's? What fuel pressure should i be getting and what should the lamda be reading Thanks

Hi all Ok so had a stage 2 remap done by awesome GTI in manchester and got a great result and a problem. The guy who did it said the car returned a great result and was happy with it all, except for one thing which he said might be the fuel pump being on the limit of supplying fuel. What the...

Ok so i thought i would throw a question in on what to do with the s3 First i went for a remap at awsome GTI, the put it on the ramp and the results were 297 hp and 286ft-lbs the said they didn't want to remap it as that was already over standard, so they said go straight for stage 2. so i...

i can use the lastest software and it does the same with the coding only it says there is a firmware update which says it can't install, maybe its the cable thats wrong for the car

i have one of these installed on mine, had a dump valve spacer installed previous and it only hissed like mad, but with this it makes a massive difference to the sound it makes. it made a big difference to the feel of the car and performance seemed more instant too, this is where the mods...

I got given a vag com cable and software and thought i'd give it a go on my car, its a 2008 s3. The cable has writting on both sides, on one side it says vag106 and on the other it says vag-com dual-k & can <-> usb vag/iso interface. I can get in to the car and read all the controllers it has...

I recently purchased a vag com cable for my car and and so far it works a treat. I can get into all controllers and everything test ok. i installed some footwell lights and wanted to turn them on with this cable but after changing the coding it says its accepted but doesn't change the code...

got a question for everyone. i had a rolling road on my car before touching anything on it and got a result of 262bhp and 380Nm. They told me it must of had a remap at some point but couldn't say for sure if it had. i used 97 ron for the test but not sure it would make this much differance...

ok here's the verdict not hard to fit, infact was really straight forward, at first noticed no difference in sound as was very dissappointed with it, thought it was quiet and a waste of money. but when it caulked up different story, sounds deep on idle and will pop like mad with a little rev...

ordered the scorpion today :eyebrows: get it tomorrow lets hope to god its not quiet, the shop i bought it off said the scorpion is slightly more aggressive that the miltec and if i'm not happy i can swap for a small fee so if all goes good it will be on tomorrow night :rock: YEY i'll let you...

thanks, with the standard one on now it pops after hard acceleration then change gear, sounds good but would like that when it comes down the revs too, might be ordering it this week too, wat does the miltec sound like in comparison to the scorpion, is it deeper in sound or do you not know?

thinking of fitting a scorpion cat back to my s3 8p and want to know how it will sound. has anyone got one fitted to their car, if so does it pop. i read a post on here that it sounds no louder than standard and he wasn't to impressed with it :( another alternative is a miltec but i'm unsure...
