Yup, just short the two wires. I *think* you can turn off the sensor in VAG-COM as well...

the S3 4wd isn't 50/50, its electronically controlled to provide the power to the wheels with the most grip, starting with the fronts. The power is engaged, sometimes quite harshly, via a couple of electronic clutches. People get the 50/50 feeling back by upgrading their haldex controller. as...

did you order 000 051 592C ? if so did it work? another question, how annoying is the american voice?

[ QUOTE ] So where does the water go? If you run the car for 10 minutes while parked up that's a helluva lot of condensation p*ssing out of the system. [/ QUOTE ] good question.. this condensation is only whats being formed on the external components, so is completely harmless and normal...

A kenwood adapter for your existing head unit does exist. You can either use an adapter at the head unit and use your kenwood cable, or a boot mount converter to use your existing oem cable.

nope, hes not. Thats condensed water, and it perfectly normal.

[ QUOTE ] I guess the MOT couldn't cope with cars on run flats, though I doubt it's that up to date. So what if you're stopped by the police with no spare but you've just been to pick up some secondhand wheels which have bald tyres on them? I guess they'll do you 4 times over! [/ QUOTE ]...

hell no bowfer, i had a 2.0T FSI DSG as a courtesy car while my S3 was in. The moment i went to pull away sharpish from the junction at the garage (in the wet), it decided to rev the balls of the engine and dump the clutch. I must admit i found it funny, although i also wanted a reliable way...

had similar problems on my S3, fault turned out to be faulty throttle potentiometer and a lambda probe. Its not impossible that another MAF could have gone though.

haha, tbh i rekon i stand more chance wearing black trousers, a striped top, white gloves and trying to mime it.

not trying to be funny here, but what did you ask for when ordering the cable? The last time i mentioned the word phatbox in an audi dealership they looked at me as if i had just spoke fluent russian... Guess what i'm really asking: is there a specific part number?

I'd check for the jack at the very least, it may be that they are breaking the law by selling the car without one as you wouldnt be able to change the tyre in the event of a puncture. That could be balls information, but its illegal to drive without a spare tyre (or run-flats), so i assume it...

Nice one Greg, i have been considering this upgrade for a while. just a couple of questions: can you buy the Audi phatbox adater seperately from a UK dealer? Did you buy from a german/us/uk supplier, if so what was the shipping and import costs? cheers.

why negotiate? i'd just flat refuse the car. You presumably ordered the options because you wanted them? The order, and contract, you signed was to supply a car of a certain spec. They haven't delivered - thers no ifs or buts on that one, and you shouldnt feel bad about asking what you have...

aagh! sounds like bad news and even worse news to me... congratulations! to give you some idea what the dealers get away with, i recently paid 18k for a 52 fully loaded noggy blue with 27k miles.

dont think theres a suit that can protect me from the flames here but heres my honest opinion: unless moneys no object, i'd wait till the next s3/rs3 is out - cos when it does, its gonna severely kick all other A3 and S3's butts. As much as we all like the a3 3.2dsg, its not a S or an RS...

we should really make sure we're talking about the same warning light here... does it look like this? (granted, this isnt an pic of an S3, but the symbol used is a universal symbol). if so, yes it is the engine warning light. All this means is that one of the sensors is broken, or is...

ok, that made me look stoopid... could'nt check the link above at work... bear in mind also that these convertors are available as a small boot-mount convertor box too - so you can keep all the wiring from the HU stock and keep the trim in place. Either option usually costs about 65 quid tho...

okay, car back now and fixed. It feels like a new car again.. to summarise: symptoms: High Idle - around 1400-2000 rpm (turbo sometimes spins up on idle) Surging whilst pulling away gently (turbo would spin, then stop) Feeling of the car driving itself (not good in 30mph zones) Lack of engine...

aaaand theyve found another fault.... another part needed.....
