    Dilemma - TTS or Cayman S

    A remapped TT-S with 320bhp wouldnt be faster than a standard cayman. The cayman has 300bhp anyway, plus its not running 4 wheel drive, and it is also probably quite a bit lighter. They also hang on to their value really well. how about a 3 series coupe??

    170 TDI front discs and pad upgrade?

    i have the same sort of problem, not as much bite as there used to be, but i think its because the brakes just need bleeding, im sure that will cure it. ive only done 7000 miles.

    OIL change in audi A3 2006 2.0 TDI

    same approach as bowfer here, i know it may be wrong and lazy but i wait for the low warning light to come on too. mine come on for the first time yesterday at 6700 miles, which i still think is quite bad, our 535d and even porsche 997 dont use oil that fast or even the c220 cdi i had...

    Alpina D3 is ordered!

    awesome choice of car, i wanted one but insurance wouldnt allow it for personal and leisure use etc, still test drove it, and found that there wasnt anything at all that bugged me, the only thing was that u have to pay a premium for sat nav, which i need badly as i never have a clue where to go...

    140 v 170

    Ive had my 170 for just over a month and done 3 thousand miles. The car has gone into regeneration mode twice, but if i hadn't have read the 170 thread, i would not have even noticed, the only thing that was different was a slightly raised idle (150 rpm) and it wasn't any noisier. I only...

    S3 Clutch

    How do you not use it? Or is the hill not steep enough? Or am i missing something?

    The 170 story so far....

    Had mine for a week and done a 1000 miles. No problems yet, it has mostly been motorway/country lanes and a little bit of stop start in the city, with revs on the highish side. Hopefully it will stay like this.. Apart from that, love the car, so much better than i expected.

    Problem filling tank

    try not putting the fuel nozzle all the way in for the first few litres. i think its something to do with pressure in the fuel tank..

    Bluefin

    Why not set it back to standard for a day or so, see if there is much of a difference , then put it back on and see how it feels.

    Bluefin

    It will always be a bit tricky to notice that sort of power gain, and because the s3 puts the power down easily there isnt going to be any laryness (real word) to make you realise how much extra power you have. In my race car we have 300bhp, and when we hit the boost button we get 360bhp for 6...

    Yeah audi vip gave a discount because of my racing etc, i have no idea how much they gave off though, will try and find out.

    Yeah its really frustrating, even more so because i havent driven the car. At the moment im using an 03 mercedes c220cdi, and its the most indirect car ive ever driven, its a case of turning into a corner and praying that its going to work. Thanks for the running in tip mitch, after reading...
