    2.0Tdi 170 or 2.7 Tdi

    I think you'll find that it's me that can't get away from you matey! I'm doing fine thank you. I love the 2.7, like you say it's a bit more grown up. My driving has certainly altered, I'm much more laid back; I've hardly bothered putting it into 'sport'; I've also decided that I'm not going to...

    Wheel spacers... Gauging interest

    I had some 20mm spacers on the rear of mine, but because I'd lowered it and not had adjustable tie-bars, the camber was greatly exaggerated and one of them cracked around the hub-centric bit. I took them off when I fitted the tie-bars and haven't got around to having them fixed.

    Black alloys or not...........?

    My missus bought me some black alloys for chrimbo. I quite like them for the moment and I couldn't really not use them could I? Sorry it's not the best photo in the world, but it seemed to be really involved getting it on here and the car was spotless on Monday honest...

    Help ! clutch pedal is dead...

    My clutch pedal went down and stayed down a couple of weeks ago; whilst on my drive. I came on here and was quite uplifted after reading this thread; so out I went into the snow and rain thinking I was going to fix it in around an hour. After contorting myself into positions not assumed since my...

    Anyone got some s3 Front Springs?

    If it scrapes on speed bumps already are you sure it's standard? Or are the speed bumps down there bigger/pointier than up here? Years ago when my lowered A4 was scraping on speed bumps I just put bigger wheels on. I'll make it a priority to pop down to my mates unit, to see if they're still...

    Anyone got some s3 Front Springs?

    I've got a pair of new H&R -25mm springs in my garage, are they any good to you? When one of my rear springs snapped I bought a full set of -25mm H&R springs, but the fronts wouldn't fit on to the R32 struts I have fitted. Also, the friend that fitted the R32 stuff kept my original S3 struts...

    Cost of having 2 bumpers sprayed

    Eyup matey, just called my pal with a bodyshop near you, at halfway, he says £100 each for the bumpers and £50 for the mirrors, so if you've been quoted £170 you ought to go for it...

    wheel bearing question

    Surely if you do this the Haldex will 'think' the front wheels have no traction and shove it off the axle stands, even with the handbrake on? I have a wheel bearing thats been causing me some irritation, I put my car on a two pillar ramp, so all four wheels were off the ground and span them...

    Tie bars

    Words of wisdom from Ess Three. I didn't do anything about the amount of rear camber... Coming home on Friday night, the car started making an unearthly racket, managed to get home and upon removing the wheel centre cap, three sheared wheel bolts fell out, I removed the wheel, to remove the...
