MODs - apologies I cannot PM him direct, so would appreciate if this is brought to his attention.
Jason,
Previous phone sharted itself over Xmas so I've lost your number, so can you drop me a line please mate. Nowt life or death but need to run something by you.

OP:
As you will perhaps surmise from the lack of responses, the 1.8 TFSi is certainly one of the least common engines on this board - and in my experience - perhaps across the marque in general.
I have managed to ascertain the turbo is a Borg Warner KO3 - however, the credit goes to Google...

Absolutely right: 450 only* to UK in total - production begins next month in Leipzig with full UK release in May 11.
RS3 is limited only by annual dealer allocation slots - oh and the order books are still very much open, so don't believe the dealer pish that they are closing in X days...
P. is quite right as they don't have a re-seller/agent in AU, but they do ship international - contact linky if you need it. Be aware that these guys are not affiliated with Evolve who supplied Jungleman - that's not a reflection on their product or service though.
The advice you have been given on the tuning is sound, although I think £1700 (~AUD 2200) for the clutch/DMF and fitting is a little rich.
As you are in Sydney you should PM Liam (known as LIMA on this site); he is an S3 owner/motoring journalist based in Canberra and also runs...
Staz,
You seen these? CONTINENTAL TYRES / CAR / CONTINENTAL SPORT CONTACT 3 CONTISPORTCONTACT 3 - 225/40R18 92W XL FR TL :: £112.70 :: Car Tyres - MPV Tyres - People Carrier Tyres - 18" :: R18" - 225/40/18, 225/40 R 18 ::
92 XL - only thing being they are W (168) and not Y (186) - not that...
RS4 Fuel Regulator Valve is ~£35 -£40 from TPS (can remember exactly and was before VAT rise); I think Audi is similar. (Looks like this)
Rev D details and prices here - Linky and here - Linky (Old DV has a diaphram like this - Linky)

However, I used the...
Gotcha, I read it as a diagnosed DV prob.
Anyhoo, your description got me thinking of 'RS's' post from the other day:

Could be miles off, but is it anything like that?
My bold - give you a clue about the manual - TTRS. Your pricing on paint is out and it is not limited to 400.
Edit: and why not post this in the RS3 thread where all this has already been discussed...loads. :yes:
...they don't. ;)
But I know you will try any excuse to crack out the chinos, Hilfiger shirt and jumper tied around the neck. :p
BOT:
I think the poverty spec of the car won't help. I am sure it has been mentioned recently...you pay ~£1k for the paint and only spec Ipod adapter (which is...
The Divertor Valve is on the front right side of the engine (as you look at it) and as yours is '57 it will more than likely have the old diaghram one - which as you know is known to split. It is fixed with torq bolts if I remember right and is pretty easy to remove to give it a once over - so...
Another thing to keep your eye on is the 'Tyre Tread Wear' number - Linky This will give you an idea of how soft/hard the compound is and how long to expect from them (in controlled circumstances). My Goodyear Asymmetrics are a great tyre, but wear quickly (<9000k miles on the last set)...
Good find mate and given all the crap that gathers on the handle in this weather - very useful and not too expensive.
Price Linky

I would be interested in their response too.
One happy customer (petrol though) - LINKY I think that google is the way ahead as I know there are other forum reviews about PDT. There is also Triple H Motorsport to consider and Revolution are now Viezu dealers.
I spoke to JKM about two months ago about the DS2500 as it was wasn't showing for S3 - But it does now. She also added the Goodridge lines if you are interested. I wouldn't go too extreme with the brake fluid if you don't fancy changing it every few months either. I use OPIE oils for that and...
