    Central locking stopped working

    Hi guys, I went to open my car this morning and the indicators flashed but none of the doors/boot opened. The alarm is working but even using the key doesn't prompt the central locking and just opens the drivers door. Is it likely to be the central locking pump that's failed? Where is it...

    quick question

    Short answer: Yes I only ever use Tesco99 as I see it as 'cleaner' fuel. A lot of people here run their A3's & S3's on vpower and most cars are remapped on higher octane fuels such as Tesco99 & V Power. I believe a well known mag ran tests of all higher octane fuels and V Power came top of...

    Few S3 suspension questions

    I can't see there being a problem lowering by 20mm, more dependent on the size and offset of your alloys. Mines lowered more than that and have 18" TT Quattro Sport alloys, no problem at all with the ride.

    Audi A3 1.8T Ko3 swap to Ko3s or Ko4?

    I didn't personally do the swap from KO3 to KO3s but I believe its just a straight swap, you may need a KO3s TIP? Regarding the map, I imagine you won't see much of a gain without getting it mapped as fuel/air mixture will be incorrect.
