    where are s4 boys getting theyre pulleys done

    I've got the S-Tronic, so not an MT, but under 4 seconds sounds absolutely savage! I think jumping straight into the +1 Revo might be a bit much. I'll probably start with the Revo 1 map, and take it from there. I was also thinking of getting the remapped S-Tronic package for £300 or so, as the...

    S4, second hand purchase, options dilemma, diff and DSG, or no diff and manual

    great, thanks for the input. I guess until I try the DSG I just won't know. At the minute, i'm feeling like the diff is enough of a reason to get the DSG and try living with it for a while. I guess if I hate it I can always look for a manual.

    S4, second hand purchase, options dilemma, diff and DSG, or no diff and manual

    Yeah I think i'll probably have a go with both. I'm usually a manual man everytime, and i'm worried that DSG will become annoying and i'll stop using it and just use Auto all the time, and then never go back to manual. I've always driven manual and prefer them, so it's a tough one. I assume you...

    multiple issues with A3 1.8T (Not S3)

    cleaned throttle body, but haven't cleaned the MAF yet. I changed the coolant temp sensor too, and again no change. Can't work out why the temperature takes forever to go up to 90 then when you come off a motorway and into traffic again, it goes right down to 80, and takes ages to pick up. It's...

    Temperature Sensor??

    Ok, I've got a hold of the sender, I had the wrong part, my one is the older version! I've managed to change it and nothing,. the car is still acting up temp wise. Even when it gets to 90C now the turbo is just non-existent, there's no pull from it whatsoever, when I slow down for junctions etc...

    Did I/Do I have keyless entry?

    Hi, I've bought a '98 1.8T and was told by the guy I bought it from that I had keyless entry but the fob wasn't working, i now believe that he wasn't quite telling the truth as the key itself doesn't look like it was remote. I read somewhere that there was a website that you can enter your VIN...
