    What have you done to your A3 (8p) this week

    Finally changed the suspension after one and half years of being sensible. What a change the AP coilovers have made in every aspect of the car, should have done it straight away. Still letting it settle before maybe tweaking ride height slightly and then 4 wheel alignment. [emoji16] Stage 1 next...

    16396 fault code help

    Yeah sorry it's an 02 S3 8l BAM. Idling its seems fine, but I do get a strange rattle when driving slowly at low revs. Last year Audi couldn't suss out where the noise was coming from but looks like the tensioner. (Only done 1100 miles this year) So hopefully a new tensioner and oil flush and...

    16396 fault code help

    Took my car to the stealers today for an MOT and they failed it on exhaust omissions. They said that they had done some diagnostics of the lamda probes and that had come back fine, which suggested that it was the cat at fault. They then said that for a further £160 they would diagnose whether...

    Free MOT from Audi : What's the catch?

    I thought exactly the same as you, that there had to be a hidden agenda or something. But I have recently had a free MOT on my 02 S3 at the Bath Audi dealers and it went straight through and they even washed it for me....which was nice! My thoughts were that if the car failed on anything then...

    6 inch components in front doors

    Thanks for the replies people. Just thought there may be some audio enthusiasts out there that had already done builds in their cars. Even with the uprated speakers in the original mounts, as the standard grills were not designed for this size speaker they cut across the face of the speaker and...

    6 inch components in front doors

    I have already replaced the standard speakers with focal 5 inch components but they just don't compete with 6 inch speakers which give you so much more depth to the front stage due to the range they can handle. I had a golf before with 6 inch focal components in the front and I really miss the...
