    H&R Suspension kit VS Koni FSD - A3 1.8T

    Well the Koni's are on and it feels so much better. Still unsure if there is something else not quite right on the suspension. I know I need the bushes sorted but like I say its loads better.

    bad start up on 2001 1.8t

    Hi, I have the same problem. I had it checked with VAG.COM dude's in Kent and they pulled up a engine coolant sensor thats probably causing the problem. They cost £26 ish from Audi dealers. MAKE SURE you get a 'Green' sensor as this is the new one.

    H&R Suspension kit VS Koni FSD - A3 1.8T

    Well Peeps, FSD's arrived today with Koni 30mm springs. LARKSPEED had the best deal! Should have them fitted by next week. I also have to replace both sets of front & rear bushes as there screwed. The car currently bounces like I'm on water and each arch/wheel/floor measurement is all over...

    Testing turbo performance (1.8t)

    Hi, The power yur feeling in your Mom's Avant is the torque. This gives the kick in the back sensation. It could be a case of a boost leak somewhere, not always easy to find? You may want to change the DV as the factory Bosch is crap and will only help Turbo lag if its ********. Also think...

    A3 1.8T (2001) Shagged Suspension or NOT!

    To ALL and EVERYONE! I have had my A3 for a few month now and I'm suprised how the suspension seems to have deteriorated so quick? It feels tht every bump, dip or crack in the road is a 5ft cavern! Sometimes feels like I'm driving on steel rims with flat tyre's. I have taken the car to a...

    TRYING TO FIT ALPINE HEAD UNIT???

    Hi, I would suggest taking it to Audi to pop the stereo, its a bitch! Just changed mine in my 1.8T and its a mare really. Make sure you have the correct facia adaptor too as there are 2 types out there, one that is a 2 pc kit, the other a complete front. I bought the wrong facia type and made...

    Audi A3 1.8T (2001 '51 Plate)

    Hi Guys, Thanks for the replies. There is an APR dealer 30 miles from me in Surrey, 'Tuningtweeks' They seem OK but I really wanted the AUDI specialist guys, like Jabba. I think I will get the exhaust, DV, filter & springs first then go from there unless I can get a special bulk buy deal...

    Audi A3 1.8T (2001 '51 Plate)

    Hi, I have just bought an A3 1.8 Turbo and I'm planning to 'improve' the performance a little? There is a lot of talk about regarding re-maps and who's the best etc. So far I think Jabba sport will be able to offer the best 'custom' set up so I have that noted. I also want to fit a Miltek...
