    Buying S3 - With these issues

One of the doors doesnt open from the inside but all locks etc and oil pickup needed cleaning and I did N249 bypass as it was boosting strange. That was it! For...

    Suspension...Shocks/Springs

    For £400 I'd personally just go with good coilovers, if you dont wanna go that low just have them adjusted fully up. What is it about coilovers that don't entice you?

    Few niggles with new car

    Sham, do you think it just needs a new thermostat then? Hi Dave, What I was thinking, I just don't really want to pay to get it recovered to a garage thats very close by you see :/ I understand yes it may cost me in engine repair if it ruins the engine which is why I was wondering if it's...

    Few niggles with new car

    Also forgot to mention, it was running dead on 90 degrees temperature round town, on the motorway sitting at 80mph it dropped to nearly stone cold, then back round town back up to 90 degrees spot on. Any idea what this could mean?
