Just taking a look at this and I’ve seen that I do have an empty plug slot.Would this mean that I have the heating elements already installed and that all I need is the loom and switches? Cheers

Anyone know where the photo's have gone from this thread? I need to do this sometime over the weekend. Tried the other day but was a bit reluctant to be a bit to heavy handed with the facia. Thanks

Firstly I just want to send my condolences to anyone who knows AndyMac. I am so saddened to hear of his recent passing away. He fitted one of his stealth subs for me about 18 months ago and I love his installation, it's an absolute credit to him and somewhat of a legacy. He was such a nice...

Cheers for this Westy. Since i'm likely to be keeping the car 'forever' this is something that may as well be done as you mention it's only a matter of time before it becomes a problem. Mine is a W reg (2000) so is likely to be in the same state if not worse than yours was. Your diagrams and...

Any news on this chap as I'm suffering the same problem, I've checked pipes, nothing that I can see is split. I had a new spare coil pack in the boot so swapped them out (all four of them) and the problem persists. Thanks

Ok, well I've done the N249 Bypass and that went ok, with the help of some guides (with good photos) on here...however the problem still persists. I had one new Coil Pack, so went about swapping it out for each one and went for a drive after each swap and the problem is still there. I've read...

I can vouch for this conversion. Andy sorted my out this set up about 18months ago. I had bose but changed it all out which meant new speakers all-round (the fitment inserts for the door cards I bought from Andy too), along with the sub and the sound quality is great. Very neatly done and...

Hi gents, Since patching up with the Gaffa tape, the problem seems to have alleviated a bit but still not running right. One thing that has changed since is the ESP light is no longer coming on. Before attempting to diagnose the coil packs I've ordered silicone hose and a T piece and going to...

I had exactly the same problem. Temp gauge was working fine, the heater was working fine. Saw the temp starting to rise on the gauge, stopped checked coolant level, which was fine, had a look to see if i could see any leaks from any pipes, nothing. Checked the 30amp fuse on top of the battery...

Hi, I was hoping for some help with my S3 8L. It's been suffering from hesitancy and has been stuttering on full boost, ESP light flashes on whilst it's happening. Initially I though the standard usual problems ie, MAF, coil packs. I unplugged the MAF and the problem was still happening so...

Hi Wibble, Cheers for your input. It doesn't do it on idle but does it both when under load and when not, ie decelerating. I've managed to get a mate who's pretty handy with VAGs to do the cambelt, tensioner and waterpump at the same time to be on the safe side. So hopefully this will it...

Hi all, I was hoping for some help in diagnosing a problem I’m having with my S3 8L. Car has been down on power when at full boost…Scanned it on VagCom and it threw the all too familiar MAF Sensor error---Intermittent Signal Too High, which I’m due to sort when I get my new MAF> I had a...

Hey Doc, It's the brother of Mr & Mrs Imola Yellow. Great to meet you. May see you at some of next years shows (hopefully by then I'll have a set of decent Rims!:uhm:)
