    Nah, but the Audi WAS recovered 8 months later and bought by a guy in north wales. I had an insurance payout so its not all doom and gloom. However I now drive a 1996 1.2 Renault Clio :o/

    MRC Burglary - My S3 has been stolen

    Thanks for the post Mark but I'm a little confused. I'm not sure what you mean by you can vouch for me turning up at your workshop with my audi with bits ripped off?

    MRC Burglary - My S3 has been stolen

    Thanks JoJo. Should be covered by MRC but unlikely to get back anything like what was spent on the mods. Just have to wait and see... Anything that you can do to help get wider coverage is appreciated. Cheers. Gav

    An unusual misfire question

    Thanks fore the reply Gav. It makes perfect sense if I'd just thought about it! No throttle = no fuel...hmmm...I'm obviously a little slow. :wacko: I've just had the car in to MRC who did some logs and said the car is fine. Timing pull? Block 020? Yes this was logged and there is little or no...

    An unusual misfire question

    I have a strange misfire problem that I cannot find a thread on anywhere else. Every time I take my foot OFF the accelerator and coast I get multiple cylinder misfires. No misfires on acceleration and car feels great. This happens on cold starts and when warm. VAGCOM results show: 4 Faults...

    Beeping from the boot area

    The alarm box on the s3 is indeed a bu**er to get to. Unlike the very helpful TT tutorial, the S3 takes a bit more work. I just did mine last night. 4.5 hours. OK, so I'm not a seasoned DIY'er but still it was a job. You really need to take out the rear light cluster as without doing this you...

    Grinding and twanging when steering

    I had the same thing happen to me on the way to Guilford from Bristol. Ended up taking it to the Audi dealership in Guilford. They ended up wanting nearly £700 pounds :wtf: to replace the broken spring and some other stuff (can't remember now what). After I said "no way", they refused to put...

    Rear brake upgrade

    Nice one, cheers Jojo. Last question...did you buy them direct or did you get them from a UK company. I notice if you buy them from the states, they're about half the price that the TTShop are selling them at. http://www.thettshop.co.uk/performance.asp?cat=6227&product=600532

    Xenon not working...a little help please guys..

    Don't mean to hijack but can you offer any advice also on xenons... Mine went yesterday. Inner lights work but outer ones not working. Light came up on the dash with the bulb symbol. Does that mean it's just a bulb needs replacing? If so, why did both go out at the same time?!?!? really don't...
