Hi, Well, kind of, I ended up replacing the EGR completely :sweatsmile:. I think the whole deleting the EGR thing is for the diesel engines which is probably why I couldn't find anything. The original EGR had errors but the car ran fine, then I replaced it with one I bought off of ebay and it...

I agree with chop, I believe its the sizing, spacing and it being at the front that's important (when you think about it Alfa Romeos number plates are offset from the factory so that shouldn’t be a problem) but I have no idea about pressed plates

Nice, what do you think now that you have seen it on your own car?

Ah that sucks :/. Let me know how the DIY goes, What size number plate did you end up getting?

Yeah everyone on here generally paints it black, I didn't fit the grill myself so I haven't done it but my crash bar is covered by a part of the bumper which is dark grey so it isn't too bad, but its noticeable. I do want to paint it black but I'm just being lazy.

I used boiled water and gently removed them with a plastic card, then used a micro fibre cloth and WD40 to remove the left over residue... But I guess this is not the best way

Hi, I originally wanted to do this but it seemed like the only seller for a tow hook frame when I looked was in America and it didn't seem worth it. On the other hand I have seen a user on here who has mounted a square plate onto the fog light grill if it helps...

I agree with the others, I had this kind of problem and it turned out to be the crankshaft sensor but you would need get your car fault scanned to be sure. Take it to a garage you trust, I had 2 garages tell me different things and they were both wrong.

I've got a 2004 FSI, I've had a nox sensor fault since I bought the car last year January and haven't changed it due to the price of the part and the fact that the car runs perfectly fine regardless (I know that's bad and I'll probably replace it at some point) Last year I had a camshaft sensor...

This happens to me, its rare but it's still annoying especially when you're driving on the motorway :weary:

Thanks :smiley: I get what you mean I felt the same way:sweatsmile: , mine doesn't rub too much I think I need to get used to going over speed bumps a little slower than usual or maybe its the screw in the rear arches that people on here recommend removing. To be safe maybe you should go for...

Hi, I recently got new wheels and springs for my SE, I'm on 40-45mm H&R springs and 18s. The back rubs on speed bumps (depending on speed as well as the height of the speed bump), with 3 passengers it pretty much rubs on any slight change in the road :sweatsmile:.

I'm not an expert on tyres so I can't really say, mine are 18x8.5 and the shop fitted 225/40 tyres on them

I've had some Calibre CC-F's put on to my car just under 2months ago, I know its early but no problems so far, hopefully it stays that way:sweatsmile:

You have nothing to worry about, the RS3 grill looks great on the S3! I recently had the same grill fitted to my standard A3, doesn't look as good as it does with the S3 bumper, but as long as you like it, it doesn't matter. I would leave the large Quauttro badge off, especially if you have...

I was suffering with a similar problem this time last year, my car would randomly turn off on long drives and would struggle to start, then after a while it would start again. The only difference is I didn't have the error you're getting, mine turned out to be the crankshaft sensor. Ross Tech...

I wanted to have a side mounted plate as well but all the tow hook ones I was looking at were in the USA and the price was a bit much for what it is. Never crossed my mind to get the Alfa Romeo mount:chargrined: . I've cable tied mine on for now:sweatsmile:

New wheels, springs and grill fitted yesterday.

I also was thinking of chrome/silver, I'm thinking of getting a honey comb grill at some point, but I liked the way its done on the RS5. I haven't looked into it too much, but I was thinking to get a black one off of ebay then maybe use something like plasti dip, but at the same time I...

Hi All, My engine judder has been cured! Turns out the EGR valve I bought was very dodgy, I've learned my lesson from buying none OEM parts. Took my car to a VAG specialist (VolksAutos), they tried configuring the EGR, but it wouldn’t let them and it was also playing up when they tried. They...
