    S3 exhausts

    For those that have done the full exhaust on the system, what make/how many boxes etc did you put on? Was thinking of changing the exhaust on the S3 and doing downpipe at the same time. Is there a problem with droning with the car or what do you suggest to do if you get that? Also, is the car...

    Fogging up front window

    Does anyone else find their front window on the pre-facelift S3 fog up when the temperature inside is more than say 3 or 4 degrees higher or lower than the outside temp? The fogging seems to happen on the outside, as a quick splash and dash wiper movement gets rid of it. Anything you can put on...

    Rain tray, pollen filter

    Hi there, How do I remove the rain gutter tray in the S3? Was thinking of running boost cables for boost gauge through next to the electric cables that are going into the car there. I cant find anywhere else to run the boost pipe through to the console. Thanks

    Where to run power cable in 8P S3?

    Hi, As per topic, any tips on where I can run the power cable for an amp on a RHD 8P S3? I've tried to look but wasn't very succesful. Just wanted to get some ideas on where it through the firewall. I saw one grommet on the passenger side on the firewall but half the aircon is on the other...

    RNS-e audio outputs

    Is there like an adaptor one can buy that will give you the 4 outputs and remote amp wire from the quadlock (like an interconnect) from the RNS-e. Just before I start cutting up the harness, because it is a bit of mission to try work with the very short play on cable there. Lastly, does the 8P...

    the new J Fuel pump

    Can anyone confirm if the new J pump says J on the pump? One of my friends had his fuelpump swopped out with a J, but the soleniod on top still reflects H. Audi are saying that the H pump has been replaced by the J, but the part still reflects as J when you look at it. The service manager and...

    RNS-E outputs

    From what I've read (in a non-Bose) setup, the front speakers are powered by the satnav, and the rears by the little amp on the plastic sub. Does anyone what the RMS rating for the amp on the sub and the one in the RNS is? I want to upgrade my sound in pieces.. thinking of first replacing the...

    Gen4 Haldex on the facelift S3

    According to Haldex the new facelift S3 will have the newest generation Haldex on it (generation 4). Does anyone know what difference this makes, as the current S has gen2 in it? (gen3 was used in I think the VW Tiguan)

    Forge DV - stuck?

    For those with Forge DV's, how do you know when it's stuck? Is there any moving parts on the Forg DV itself or is it just a solid piece of metal? What happens if the DV is left in stuck mode for extended periods, can that damage anything? I looked on their website and from what I can see the top...

    Fuel pump replacement

    Is there somewhere a bulletin or link to the different fuelpumps on the S3s? I have the "old" fuelpump on my car (apparantly) and want to take the car to Audi to replace it, can I just ask that they put the new revision in due to upgraded one being out, is there a recall out or does it actually...

    S3 8P audio install

    When upgrading the stock-non Bose sound, is there any guides or references out? I would have loved one of those A3 replacement sub boxes but living in Africa means there is no chance of getting it here... but will see what's available in any case. Do you need adaptor plates for the door...

    Fuel Pressure Requested

    For those with chipped cars and VAG, what is the requested fuel rail pressure in your car? I think chipped 2.0T GTI's do around 110 bar or so and just curious what stock S3 and chipped S3's do? If possible can you post a graph of just the numbers at various intervals? If this needs to go tech...

    DRL replacement and fire extinguisher

    What is the specs of the DRLs in the S3? H1 or H7 etc? I want to replace mine with white/blue spec lights (Philips or Osram or the like) because the current yellow looks very off against the white of the bi-Xenons Also, noticed in my car manual that in some countries the S3 comes with a fire...

    S3 misting on outside of window

    Find that with the S3 there is misting on the OUTSIDE of the windscreen, right about where the two little vents in the middle is. Does anyone else have that happen as well? For me this happens at night, especially when the left and right are set to differening temperatures? Anyone know how to...

    For those with S3's and VAGCOM, if you open engine module and go to advanced ID, what version Audi software have you got? Just curious to see if there is differences between the revisions numbering between UK and SA.

    Forge Goodies

    Anyone here have Forge DV and Forge Intake on their 8P S3's? Did it make a difference, is it worth it? My scare is the little cone filter they put on the end there - had bad experiences with previous K&N flatpanel filters fouling the MAF sensor on my GTI's (1.8T)

    Adding wire clips to quad lock connector

    I'm trying to add the wires to block D for my bluetooth install on my 8P S3, but battling to remove the little purple protectors they got in there, especially this one where only the one side is available. It may sound like Greek, but those who've done it would hopefully understand. Advise...

    Sunglass holder

    Is there a sunglass holder for the 8P S/A3? I remember the Mk4 Golfs you could replace the driver door grabhandle with a sunglass holder. Is there something similar for the 8P?

    Recommended speaker replacements - S3 8P

    Hi there, I got the standard sound system in my 8P S3 and just wanted to know what my options are for changing them. I assume they 6.5" speakers like most VAG products? The reason is, I replaced the speakers in my Golf4 with Sony 6.5" and it lost some of the sound characteristics. I used the...
