Tried cleaning it with surgical spirits without any luck. Will get hold of some proper silicone remover and have another go.

Yup, we get the TT. Was very popular back when it was launched. Thanks for the link and the info bro. Oh, btw, is anyone on the forum coming down for the World Cup next year? Thought it may be cool if our Audi Club South Africa met up with some of the guys from this forum.

Thanks for the response dude. I do plan on going new - just useful to know which other cars share the same shock fitment setup. For some reason, here in SA, virtually none of the aftermarket manufacturers have "shocks for the S3" - just not listed in their books. So it's useful knowing which...

I'm thinking of replacing my rear shocks (one looks like it's developing a leak). Just researching a couple of options and was wondering which cars share the S3's shocks. I imagine the TT Quattro would - does it? And which other cars (any Seat's, VW's, etc.)? Tried a forum search, but it's a...

Yup, like he said, just take it easy and drive under boost for a short while before switching the car off - 5 minutes of slow driving is more than enough. And yes, it helps the turbo cool down. With regard to the oils: I'm in SA, so we tend to go for different oils because of our higher...

Cool, definitely sounds like it's possible. Thanks for the tip dude, will give it a try:icon_thumright:

Here's an interesting one (tried a search but nothing similar came up). My driver's window has started rattling. Here's the thing though, it just happens when it's fully closed. So it sounds as if it's rattling in the rubber thingies (that's the technical term). As soo as I drop the window, even...

Sad to hear that dude. All the best with the sale. Looks like an aweosme example.

Thought it maight be the throttle body as well. Will have to get at it the sun's back out - raining in Cape Town today. Thanks for the suggestions guys, appreciate it.:thumbsup: Cheers

I've got a strange idling problem. It normally happens when the car's cold, but sometimes it continues when it's warm. It will idle normally for like 5-10 sec and then dip for a moment before going up again. It may be related to the fan coming on and off (although I can't really hear when I'm...

Might be the pads as well. Think the same symbol is triggered when the brake sensors pick up that they're running thin.

Cool - thanks for the info dude. Problem now is that I'm in South Africa. Will see what it'll cost to get it shipped over - otherwise OEM it will have to be. Cheers

Hi there - wondering if anyone else has had this problem. My aircon switch (behing the engine up against the heatshield) is leaking (greenish liquid). does anyone have a part number or know if it can be reconditioned? Or how much they cost and whether or not one has to go OEM. Your help would...

Not too clued up on the audio side of things I'm affraid. There's a guy called Anymac on here - sure he'll help you out. Or post in the I.C.E section - they'll sort you out quicker.

Sorted at last :beerchug: . Byzan - they said it was a fuse by the battery - so you were spot on. Cheers
