Hi Guys, Pulled off in my A3 (8L 1.8t sport) yesterday and heard a bang from the front left of my car, (sounded like a spring), now, i can see the bottom end of the spring is not sitting in the cup correctly and when turning from lock to lock i can hear it popping a few times, also when going...

Hi guys, seen a lot of different good looking wheels in the photos section, looking to get some myself, can anyone recommend any? give me names of any? just trying to browse the market easier! Thanks

Ive got this code through on my 2001 1.8t 8l, just the sport, and ive done a little research myself, and it seems to come up with the same 2 issues, thermostat, and temp sensor? and idea how to narrow it down? Cheers!!

Good description, but i was wondering in basic terms, if i order that on ebay, and (for arguements sake) take it to my local garage, theyre would be no issues? obviously there are no gaurentees, but 99%?

What about the lambda sensor?

AUDI A3 S3 1.8T 3" STAINLESS STEEL DOWNPIPE DECAT | eBay Just ordering this one i think, whats the script with the lambda? havent looked underneath so can someone explain the change over? cheers!

Hi guys, the drivers window will not move using the switch, if you press the switch you can hear the motor but it doesn't sound too healthy! You can move the window up and down by hand? Anyone know if its definately the motor?

does that come ready to fit? stick it on and off ya go?

Forgot to ask! is theyre a specific type to get that will just pop straight on? dont want any sort of lambda issues coming up? and i'll just be getting the garage to fit it so does the lambda become affected at all?

yeah guys its an A3! shouldve said! it is pretty much for purely noise! Thanks!!

SO just sticking it on should be sound? possible lambda change though? does it backfire at all? and whats the noise like? like.... loud on acceleration and quiet on cruising?

Having a little ponder on what mods i can do to my 1.8t 2001? one of the thoughts i had was a decat? love the sound of decat cars so can anyone tell me the ins and outs of fitting/lambda? Also, its a standard backbox i have? will this affect it at all? Thanks!

I let it warm up while I have a fag, save me stinking the car out? So 3-4 mins? I dunno! And it's a 1.8t? Y reg!

Hi Guys, having a few issues on idle... From a cold start, if i use the clutch only to move off the revs cough at approx 3-400 RPM, but i can ride the clutch to have a normal smooth takeoff, accelerating seems hessitant also, once ive driven it for a while it seems to be okay? any ideas? just...

sound about right! is this a troublesome job? expensive?
