    8v Rev limiter when static

    recently got a 2.0 tdi 184 and just noticed that when I’m stationary and rev the engine it limits out at 2500rpm, when driving it’s fine, no codes on vcds. Is this an issue or normal for this engine, always had petrol before this Cheers in advance

    TTS engine cover.

    Didn't really like the Neuspeed cover (which will be for sale) so I went for a TTS cover to go with the twintake on the S3, so £85 incl mounting bolts and 10 mins later. All that's left to do is find something to attach the 'S' badge to the cover. Are there any sticky pads that will do this...

    Well I'm stumped

    Trying to fit a forge quick shifter. Now the OEM front to back has a metal clip holding the cable on so no problems there, the OEM side to side linkage has a plastic thing. The forge installation instructions say to just push down on this to release the cable, can I get it off.........no way...

    Forge quick shifters

    Opinions please, worth doing or not? Also the instructions from Forge seem pretty straight forward, if anyone has actually carried out the fitting is it as easy as illustrated. Forge Motorsport | Alloy Fabrication

    Would they really do this?

    A couple of months ago I kept getting a seatbelt warning on the dash, as the S3 was still under warranty I took it to the stealers and it came back fine (no more warnings) Yesterday I was giving the car a good hoover and slid the driver seat fully back and saw the plastic cover under the seat...

    Way off topic but..............

    My mate just phoned me to say that he has driven through about 6 - 8" of standing water and his engine has stopped and will not re-start. He has a BMW 123d. Could water of this depth have entered the engine?

    Over this: Forge Motorsport Oil Catch Tank System For 2.0 Litre FSi Vehicles With A Carbon Filter Installed - GNJ Motorsport It states: "Please note: This kit will NOT fit 2009 on Audi S3’s with xenon headlight" I obtained mine from forge where this statement is not present, or at least I...

    Forge twintake

    Just finished fitting it to the S3 and out for a quick spin, I'm in love! Replaced a ITG which had way too much 'Darth Vader' for me. In true Cornish tradition it's just started chucking it down so I'll get some piccies up when it dries up a bit. There will be an ITG intake up for grabs too.

    Awesome GTI

    Anyone used these for parts? after placing an order online with them my overall opinion is that they do not respond to my emails and didn't let me know if items were not in stock (at least in my case) so very disappointed at the moment.

    Tyre pressures

    225 18 40's on a 2010 S3 Label says 42psi front and 33psi rear (normally laden). The front seems incredibly high and was wondering what everyone's thoughts are. I've adjusted to the specified just now after finding that ATS had blown 30psi in the fronts after a tyre change.

    A boring Saturday afternoon............

    Didn't turn out so bad after all. Looking at some Audi US forum and found an old link to here about how to activate the optical parking system on my RNS-E, so out with the VCDS, coded her up, rebooted the HU and low and behold success!!:rock:

    Part required

    I had a D revision DV valve so I replaced the rubber gasket type that was in the car. Mr fat fingers here however lost the torx screw/bolt that secures the valve to the bracket, any ideas of a part number or does anyone have a spare kicking around?
