Before you try anything else, a tip is to try repeatedly thumping the inside of the door with the side of your fist as close to the lock as possible whilst a friend tries to unlock with the remote plus operating the exterior and interior door handle repeatedly.

It might be worth checking the wires in the loom area where it comes from the body into the door. Sometimes due to the door opening and closing the wires can break.
You must take care but you should be able to pinpoint the noise using a long screwdriver.
Taking care that you don’t get entangled in any of the belts, you touch the engine with the metal end of the screwdriver whilst pushing your ear on the end of the handle.
keep moving it until you locate...
If you look at your alternator it will have a part number on. If you put that into Google it will give you links to equivalents.
One thing though, don’t mend what is not broken!
You can easily check the output with a voltmeter across the battery to see if the alternator is charging the...
I’d be going for a 5W 40 oil and the fuel filter is in the traditional place.
I use Shell Helix 5W 40 in a Fabia 1.4 and a TT 2.0 and Titan Race Pro S 5W 40 in a stage 2+ S3
Regarding the grill, I think you may struggle as your car is a prefacelift.
You need hubcentric spacers and H&R seem popular. From memory, 10mm on the front and 12mm on the back do not cause rubbing issues. There is a rear wheel arch liner screw that some people remove if there is rear...
Do some research on the 5mm pump inlet modification. Uprated pumps like the Loba already have this done.
A word of warning in that you undo the brass inlet Barb, there is a little sealing washer behind that is easy to loose. If lost, you will have a leak and I don’t think it is available to buy.
I agree that the HPFP is OK at stage 2 but stage 1+ requires more fuel to give the boost in mid range torque.

It maybe that rather than stage 1 software stage 1+ has been applied. On true stage 1, the HPFP should be fine. However stage 1+ requires more fuel and so an uprated pump or pump internals is fitted.
Another thing to think about is the rubber pipe connecting to the bottom of the HPFP. If it has...
Are you able to decide which side of the engine the noise is coming from?
If you can decide on that, you can pinpoint it using a long screwdriver. Put the tip near where the noise might be coming from and your ear on the end of the handle. It will act like a stethoscope, move it around until the...
Hi,
I’m about to change the front discs on my s3 8P. I have the Haynes manual but it does not include the S3.
Can anyone tell me the correct tightening torque for the calliper carrier to hub bolts?
Thank you.
We have a TT from 2008 and the service position can only be accessed from the Dash info system. No chance of ignition on then off followed by one push down on the stalk. The stalk method seems to be on lower spec models?
