Hi all, I have recently purchased a 58 plate Audi S3 (facelift) and after trying to resolve the well documented glove box issue I came across the below pictured plug. It isn't attached to anything and looks to be a stock part. There is no where on the glovebox for it to connect to either. Car...

Driving down the M1 to Ikea today and noticed my drivers side indicator unit (pre facelift) flapping around without a care in the world, scratching my wing etc. Pulled in and couldn't see any issues so relocated the unit and returned home, slowly (55 mph on the M1 is no fun i'll tell you)...

Hi guys, 1999 S3 (APY 210). Strange one for you. So I was out today having a drive, enjoying the weather, the views ;) etc. Got on my local dual carriageway and accelerated in 6th from 3000rpm, when I did so the turbo didn't "sound" how it should do, instead of a shhhhhhhhhhh (like they...

Afternoon Ladies and Gents, Just done a few logs with my new VCDS cable (fear I may lose a few tanks of petrol because of this) and have a few q's. Firstly i've logged block 002 just to get an idea of gs/sec and it seems a little below my expectations. The car is a a APY (1999) S3 with...

Hi Guys, Is it possible to activate this on a 1999 S3 via VagCom? I missed it when I got rid of my Seat years ago. Any help appreciated, thanks :)

Hi Guys, Like an idiot I spent most of yesterday trying to remove my standard Concert stereo from the dash of my 1999 S3 (I have ordered the correct keys but they haven't turned up yet). However after giving up and realising the most hardedned car thief wouldn't be able to remove it I gave...

Hi guys, Just scanned the AWD on VCDS lite and came up with 00526 - Brake Light Switch (F): Implausible Signal. Looking at the possible symptoms it doesn't sound like it should and yes, I have Brake lights when pedal depressed. Would this prevent the Haldex from working on my 1999 Audi S3...

Hi Guys, As the snow is falling and my diffs sound "weird" in the snow when the car's sliding, i've decided to sit on the icy cool leather for a few hours and fit my newly delivered stereo at the weekend. Car is a 1999 S3, non-Bose system with the 6 disc changer in the back. I have...

Hi Guys, I have a 1999 S3 1.8T and was recently given a 1st gen iPod. I'm looking to use this with either the standard Concert unit (Concert 2? As it has the 6 disc changer in the boot) or an Aftermarket H/U. Having looked at the xCarlins etc i'm not overly happy with reviews i've read...

Guys, Went out for a random drive the other day and after about 2 hours the DIS started flashing, it was set to miles left in tank, yet when I looked it was on elapsed time and flashing. I'm going to assume they all do this after 2 hours of driving, is this the case? If not, I take it the...

Hi guys, I have a 1999 S3 (210 APY). Recently it has started feeling light on the front end when travelling at around 75 leptons per hour plus. The only suspension / chassis mods are 18" BBS CH Replicas with Falken FK452s (225/40/18), 30mm Lowering springs with stock dampers and S3Daves...

Hi Guys, So a week or two ago some *undesirable person* decided my passenger side wing mirror was a football and decided to kick the backside off it until it broke. Now unfortunately it smashed the plinth that holds the mirror onto the housing (thats attaches to the door), meaning I have...

Hi Guys, Went to start the car earlier and the engine attempted to turn over however, instead of the normal chk chk chk, it just went wurr once and died (trying to describe a noise is impossible). In essence the car doesnt turn over or start, now it has recently had a new starter motor and...

Good Evening Ladies and Gents, Coming back from t'other day and noticied a fair amount of smoke / steam coming from the exhaust whilst in traffic, car was just starting to warm up on the temp gauge. Pulled up at home left the engine running, smelt the exhaust, missus looked at me funny but...

Hi Everyone, Today's issue (not had one for a long time). Got in the car at lunch time and put the drivers window down, heard a clunk and the window dropped pretty quick, I pressed it back up and it slowly came back up making a god awful noise (like broken glass) however the window itself...

Saw you on Derby Road heading towards Matlock last night, I was in the Silver 8l S3 that just nipped past you after Cineworld.

Hi Guys, Has anyone got any experience of this Alloy wheel manufacturer? They have some wheels that are of interest to me and a quick google search didn't come up with anything of substance. Your views appreciated.

Hi Kids, Stupid question I know. I have been looking at a set of alloys for the S3 however, I am curious to know will 9j wide alloys front and rear still allow me to drive the car normally, will I still get steering lock and will it rub as I am currently on stock dampers and Apex springs...

Hi Guys, Got into the Audi yesterday morning all dash lights and interior light on fine, waited around 2-3 secs (as normal) before firing, turned the key and nothing, zip, nada. So I bought a new battery today (long story) and fitted howeer it's doing the same thing, alllights on etc but...

Good Morning ASN. Car is '99 S3 APY engine code. On my way to work this morning the car felt fine tyre pressures were checked last night. Now when I braked into a corner (Hairpin) at less than 10 mph the ABS kicked in and the pedal went to the floor. I then joined the main road and...
