    Haldex Gen 2 upgrade on (8P) S3???

    Question is , does this help with the launch off the line at a drag race. The standard set up just boggs like a sh!t ... it's so unlike the gen 1 system found in the 8L S3 . With launch control , you can get the 8L spinnin all 4 wheels off the line ..with some sideways motion.

    Lowered S3

    Thanks for all the replies guys ! The thing is , doesnt mean you dont see the problem , it aint there ! What if you have not tried to re-adapt the lights after lowering the car. Try that ... Vag com will not allow adaption either. Rear level sensor =17 % Front level sensor = 25 %...

    Lowered S3

    Hey there people , Have any of you had an issue with zenon adaption/basic settings once you lowered your S3 ? I have fitted the H+R springs (25mm I think) . I noticed the beams off - focus , so I took the car in to my local dealer. The zenons will not adapt , guided fault finding gave out a...

    Upgraded fuel pump internals for 2.0 TFSi

    It seems as if all the pumps are the same (KO3 and KO4 equipped motors) , just the cam lobe that actuates the pump is different.
