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.

Hi, I have popped in from the 8P forum where I have a stage 2+ S3. My son has a TT with en EA888 gen 1 engine APR stage 1/2. Two weeks ago, he had an RTS dual friction clutch fitted and is in the middle of running it in. At the same time thinking of preventative maintenance, he had the latest...

Hi, I have been on the 8P forum since 2006 with my S3 8P but popping in here for a bit of advice relating to my Mk 4 Gti 1.8T as not much is turning up elsewhere. So sorry this is not an 8L but early A3 cars may be the same as mine as detailed below: I bought the car new in 1998 and it is still...

Recently we upgraded the front brakes on my son’s TT. We used Golf6R callipers which are the same as the TTS and the S3 8P. Brand new oem Brembo pads and discs. Meticulous installation ensuring no debris on the mating surface between the driveshaft flange and the back of the disc. A few months...

I had a new RTS clutch fitted over the past couple of days at Awesome GTI. Superb service and the technician really took care of my car. As this was part of other jobs it was important for me to explain to the person doing the job how I wanted things done. No problem with a thorough chat before...

Hi, I need to get under the rear of my S3. Trolley jack on the standard rear jacking points but where can I put the axle stands without damaging underneath? I need to get it quite high so I can disconnect the catback. Thank you.

I’ve been reading elsewhere that folks remove the clutch delay valve in the clutch bleeder block with manual gearbox cars. This gives a more direct feel to the clutch and removes any woolly feeling and delay. Certainly on our TT is is possible to lift your foot off the clutch quickly when in...

Hi, Just a note to say I am selling my APR downpipe for 8P quattro cars in the classified section. Here is a link in case you are interested. https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/s3-8p-apr-downpipe-with-sports-cat.402186/

Hi, I am selling my APR cast downpipe and sports cat to suit an S3 or Golf6R or other quattro A3 models I bought it new from VRS in Northampton 3 years ago and it has covered less than 1,000 miles. (My car spends too much time in my garage not going anywhere. MOT certificate will confirm!) If...

Hi, We are going to fit some Golf6R front callipers to his TT 2.0. These callipers are the same as an S3, TTS or R32. Does anyone know the correct torque setting for the calliper carrier bolts. We’ll be using new bolts when we do the job along with 340 mm TTS discs.

In the early days my S3 did have a full service every couple of years and so I probably expected my pollen filer to be changed. In later years as I did more maintenance, the Audi service changed to just an oil service every year and brake fluid every 2 years. As we all keen to do bits to our...

A couple of months ago I had a full TBE fitted to my S3. The system has a 90mm downpipe and so I was a bit worried that my gear cables were very close if not quite touching the downpipe.. I've heard of other people's melting or even catching fire if the cables are on the downpipe. There is a...

S3 8P fans running all the time, even with no key in the ignition!. So this afternoon, I decided to check out the gear cable end links on my S3 with a view to fit the 42DD VAG Shifter Bushing Set as sold by AKS. So I removed my Revo intake and unplugged the connector going to the temperature...

I recently had a new exhaust with a 90mm downpipe. On close examination, it appears the gear cables are very close if not touching the 90mm downpipe. I have tried a DIY mod to support the cables with jubilee clips but there is nowhere strong enough to hang the clips from and so back to the...

Hi, At long last I have ordered a BCS none valved system for my S3. I am having the chaps in St Helens fit the new system but would be keen to keep the old system in case I want to revert, sell the car etc. The existing downpipe is by APR and unbolts into small enough sections to fit into the...

I have been stripping Off the front end of my S3 ready for a Wagner intercooler installation. Hopefully tomorrow I can start the rebuild. It has been an interesting job so far. Buying the correct tools for the job really helps.

Hi, Going to be fitting a Wagner intercooler to my S3 and I am looking for any tips that will make removing the front bumper easier whilst taking lots of care not to scratch it! I have watched a couple of YouTube videos but I like to be sure in order to avoid **** ups. What action do you use to...

Hi, I am probably ordering a Wagner intercooler for my prefacelift S3 tomorrow. For those of you have fitted one of these already, do all the fixing holes line up properly for the water and air con radiators? Are there any snags on the horizon that I need to plan for? Thanks for your advice!

Hi, We are going to be replacing the rear discs and pads on a TTS which has the same set up as an S3. Does anyone know the torque settings for the caliper carrier bolts and the caliper bolts? Cheers

Hi just had a call from my son who has broken down. He came up to a roundabout tried to put the car into gear and no chance. He could not engage any gear while the engine is running. Turn the engine off and gears will engage but if gear is engaged the car will jump forward with the clutch...
