Nick, I too have a black S3 and was thinking of matt blacking the grey trim as its looking quite tried. Have you blacked the side and rear trims and if so do you have a pic. Cheers James

My golf gti and my s3 has lost coolant and ive struggled to find the leak. The cause of my problems was the plastic thermostat housing and coolant return connection. These parts are meant to have a flush fitting against the engine block, the parts on both my cars were made of plastic and had...

You say you have had the car painted including under the bonnet. I would check all the earthing points in the areas affected. Check you've not painted over earth points or got paint into the threads of earth points.

I live in Swindon and have to stick up for it.Theres nothing wrong with the magic roundabout, its pretty easy to navigate if you treat it as indepandant rounabouts. I travel across everyday at rush hour and it flows pretty well compared to other large roundabouts.

I've helped a few people out with this problem before, I got some sockets which have coarse threads cut into the internal wall. You wind them on to the locking nut by using a windy gun, it then cuts its own thread into the locking nut, hopefully when its fully wound on it will lock and remove...

A compression test is a way to find out if any of the bores are leaking.The reading you obtain is how much pressure a bore can hold. The lowest reading you should get is 7 bar (100psi). Anything lower indicates a problem, such as headgasket failure, worn piston ring etc... There should not be a...

Min is 7 bar which is round 100psi, the max difference between bores is 3 bar(43psi). These specs were taken from a Haynes manual.

Best bet is to look on a forum called www.locostbuilders.co.uk, i've been building a locost kit car (seven style), for a year or so now. Any help you need you'll find it on that site. I honestly think that you budget is unrealistic, kit cars seem to bleed you dry of money.You may pay 1000 for an...

Just read your post fully sorry.

Yeah i'd be interested depending on the location. Any thoughts on a supply only if the distance is too great to travel.

Just a thought did you block off the pipe that goes to the throttle body, it could be leaking through TB butterfly or through the idle control valve.

Anyone know how to put the xenon S3 headlamps into "learn mode" or adjust them with VAGCOM, tried looking but can't find a post that actually details how you go about it? Cheers James

Had this saved in my favorites keep meaning to build one. http://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/1659806.phtml

Give the bottom hose a good squeeze to try and expel any air, when you dont have anymore bubble in the expansion bottle, top up to the max, replace cap and run car making sure the fan cuts in and doesn't overheat.

So, as long as I have the base code if it does go tits up I can also re-enter the original.
