Could there be any unseen damage to the pistons though, like cracked maybe?

Theres a couple of bent valves, 2 pistons with dings in them off 2 of the valves, not had the pistons out so only see the dints. Cars done 140k and mint condition with lots of options on it, been quoted £1500 to get it done, trouble is im commuting 50 mile a day now in 206 diseasel so find...

Hi all, been a while since I posted but a few weeks ago my cam belt went on my S3, now I don't know what to do for the best, scrap it, break it, or sell it as is or repair and sell it, any advice??

Evening all, well last saturday i had my first go down the 1/4 mile at santa pod, had a great time till my mate blew the diff up in his cossie, anyway i just wondered what sort of time a standard AMK S3 should be looking at, out of 4 runs my best time was 15.71 @ 85.71 mph.

To be honest ive not heard of them splitting before, mine split as i was daft enough to top it up without screen wash when going out in a hurry one night and i think it just froze, expanded and split it, but i have heard of the pipes from the washers leaking but the only way to tell IIRC is to...

Ive rang audi today and got the part number, apparantly if you have headlight washers you need the 5l but if not then the 3l version, just under £37 for the 5l one for me, just need to figure out how to change it without removing the bumper and headlight.

New gamertag for me is Ninjagogo Mostly on forza 3, forza 4, battlefield 3, or cod

Cheers for the link but im not sure if the A3 bottle is the same as the S3 as i have headlight washers

Morning all, well my screen wash bottle has decided to split spewing screen wash all ovver the place, question i have is does anyone know how to remove it, is it a bumper off job or can it be removed by unbolting the charcoal canister and getting it out that way? Also does anyone have a part...

Not a fan of the bodywork to be honest but it looks well fitted with no grand canyon gappage, but like others have said, its your car and thats what makes us all individual and if you like it fair play. Surely when you crashed it though you wasnt 'racing' on a public road :whistle2:

Apart from once a month lol

Are they white or red lights??

Basically i didnt mate, just unplugged it and the car was still the same ie very slow not feeling the pull of the turbo so after advice on here mainly from westy and tufty (cheers guys) i decided to try the N75 as my first thing to be eliminated, ideally could have done with swapping them over...

Ha i have that light too intermittantly but its the lateral acceleration sensor but cycle the ignition and it goes away lol

I personally allways go for OEM rather than aftermarket stuff, stories like this my main reason, plus i'll put the receipt in the car folder aswell as its all documentation for resale
