    Wheel bearing labour

    How much extra labour would be involved roughly to replace a wheel bearing when changing discs and pads on a s3 8v? might get all mine done when having the discs and pads done. Cars on 60k now

    S3 replace chrome grill with black edition grill

    I haven’t got a black edition and agree with the standard grille. As a temp measure I used plastidip, doesn’t look too bad. I will be changing it eventually though

    So I Picked up the s3 on Saturday, haldex was serviced less than 500 miles ago. I had wheelspin and the traction control light flashing. Took to a local specialist who actually cleaned the filter and had it back up and running. Pretty shocking really.

    Haldex service wheelspin

    New pump isn’t the end of the world. At least I know it’s done then. I did take it out just now, seemed to be no wheelspin accelerating through second up to the limiter but the tc was flashing
