Morning all I was hoping someone on here may have experience in the offset and bolt pattern you can fit to a '99 S3. My slightly buckled front nearside wheel recently became my very buckled front nearside wheel, and caused a blow out (of a nearly brand new Conti - cheers!). So I need a new...

Morning all, I'm undertaking the 1,069 mile journey from Stepney to Budapest tomorrow, to pick my girlfriend and our dog up, before returning in a week's time. The journey will begin at around 7am, in my '99 S3 (no cruise control - why oh why did the first owner not add this option?!), and...

Hi...just checking if this is a known problem, or just something at my end: the Classifieds page doesn't appear to be working. I get this response when I click on it: Not Found The requested URL /404.html was not found on this server. Thanks, Greg

Morning all, thought I'd write all three subjects in one post to save taking up space... I'll start with the most obvious (as I just had to pull it from the car to get home without it scraping!): - Black plastic sills along the door, the nearside one fell off except for one screw this morning...

Evening all, I've had a bit of a 'mare lately (have now gone through two engines in my S3 in 3mths), and I was wondering if any you - or anyone you know - has a reliable one for sale? It's a '99 car, but I'll happily look at an APY or BAM lump... Please drop me a mail or PM if you can help...

Evening all...turns out that my turbo is completely shagged - due to oil starvation - and the work that was going to be carried out on it can't happen anymore. I was looking at the K04 being taken to a stage 1 or 2 hybrid (looking for a reliable 270-280bhp), and wondered if any of you have an...

Afternoon all...have just bought a new engine, and need to get it from Merseyside up to where my car's in the garage, in Fife. And I don't have time. Has anyone had an engine couriered before, please? If so, any ideas who I could contact? And how much it might cost? Any help would be much...

The engine's out of my S3, and the bottom end is salvageable (had no compression in 3 or 4, v little in 1 & 2, there was loads of sh!te in the sump - metal & plastic (latter from the cambelt tensioner, which got destroyed)), thankfully....the head, however, is mince (8 valves bent). I've been...

Evening all...I've a set of 18s on my S3 (anyone know which car they're off? I cannae remember! Bought the car a couple of months ago with them already on), which need re-furbishing (badly curbed)... Does anyone know of a good re-furbisher near to Glasgow, please? Thanks a lot, greggers

Afternoon all...my S3's going in to Star Performance next week, and while the engine's out, was wondering if any of you had any suggestions please? Don't want to go too crazy, but I'd like to push it closer to 300bhp; not particularly interested in any changes to the bottom end, due to cost...

Morning all... I'm looking to buy a new lump for my '99 S3, and was wondering which engines I could look at. The current one is (I reckon! Still learning this malarky, as I only bought it a few weeks back) the 210bhp, APY engine, which I believe was common to the S3 & TT (or at least a...

A quick tale of woe, and then a request for a bit of advice... Evening all, it's taken me a week to get the stage where I want to think about the car again - went down to Manchester to pick up my first Audi last Thursday afternoon, a lovely little V-plated S3. I haven't had a nice, quick-ish...

Afternoon all...have been reading these forums for a couple of weeks now, while I've been searching for a decent S3 to buy, and as I'm heading down to pick my purchase up this afternoon, it's time I 1. started posting, and 2. used (hopefully!) your experience on a potential problem I've seen...
