The Ferodo DS2500 pads are an awesome choice. Ive been very pleased with them both on and off the track. Very well performing pads, never had fade or glazing. Also had them on the car on The Ring a few years back, they took a beating and felt great.

Oh dear, someone's butchered that. Definitely not how Audi intended.

Check the sticker on the inside edge of the drivers door. It should tell you the correct tyre pressures for your tyre size and rating etc. I know for my 2012 A3 S Line Black Edition TDI 170 with the same size tyres as yours it says 42 psi front and 36 psi rear with normal load. Think that works...

As above, don't use Kwik Fit, bunch of con artists.

As someone else stated, the ECU is adaptable, after the remap everything is set at default values. As you drive it more the ECU "learns" and adapts so it can feel better after some time.

Funny, checked the Audi owners manual from front to back, it didn't mention anywhere about adding 2 stroke oil to the fuel........... just saying :whistle2:

If you only replaced the cable recently, maybe it needs readjusting as they can stretch slightly when new until settled?

I think you are talking about part numbers, many part numbers begin with 8P....., that's different. The original thread is talking about the A3 8P model and different versions of it.

Legit numbers? Are you sure about that?! :tearsofjoy: Have you even read the whole thread? The 8P1, 8P2, 8P3 system was proposed as an "internal forum" system to supposedly help people who didn't know the difference between 8P models. Go into Audi and ask them about the A3 8P3 and see how far...

This is the most pointless and ridiculous thread I have ever read on any forum (yes, I get that this thread is old). Isn't a forum generally used by enthusiasts, therefore shouldn't we actually know/learn the correct designations. How is making up a series of model numbers like 8P1, 8P2, 8P3 etc...

I've had a LOT of work done on my previous car at SCC, the only place I took the car for work. If you have any issues call them and talk to the owner Rob. He's always got time to discuss any issues or questions with anyone. They are a good bunch of guys and know what they're doing. It's Rob who...

You shouldn't expect a huge lump of torque in low revs from a 2.0L turbo, you're just not going to get it. Turbo lag, enough said really, drive on and be happy. Higher up the revs in a small engine turbo car is where the fun is at :)

Just retrofitted CC to my 2012 A3 Black Edition TDi 170 Quattro today. Was very easy to follow this useful guide, the only thing different was that I did not have any separate ESP sensor to remove. I take it that on the later models it is somewhere else or integrated somewhere else, in the...

Brilliant, this is exactly what I need. Thank you!

Part numbers I'm seeing about these sensors are: 420919275 with a letter after like A, D etc.
