My wife owns a 2003 53 polo sdi which up untill recently starts fine. Now it takes upto 50 on and offs on the ignition for the coil light to come on so it will start. So far i have changed the coil plugs, coil plug relay, ecu relay, cleaned all the earths i can find. Everytime i play with it it...

Both :-) Run out of gears to quickly in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. 4th is onwards is almost spot on. Only thing i am worried about is introducing lag if the gears are lengthened. Need to get this sorted so any advice, prices that you offer would be great.

Make sure you moist up the paintwork with the spray before you clay. Once removed, if you have a pc polisher, machine the panel to remove any inperfections. Edited to add, it will come off, just be patient. It will take 5-10 mins.

Clay it off.

A stand alone ecu setup correctly will produce much better results the a remapped ecu fact. At the end of the day it's about the ££££. If you have it, do it. When it comes to the safety aspect. Again, aslong as it's setup correctly there will be no issues. If you are worried about...

Pm sent :icon_thumright:

Has anybody on here got on know where i can get a copy of a diagram for the ecu wiring harness on a S3? Fitting a Apexi avcr but need the diagram so all the avcr functions will work once spliced in. Or do these cds on ebay with the workshop books contain them? Thanks in advance...

Got it. Thanks for that :)

Well thanks for the help. It's all in the stickies! that means nothing to me. Care to explain?

Is there any fast road geometry settings availble for the S3 fitted with coilvers? Want to get it setup tomorrow but can't find any info.

Has anybody on here got a S3 running 350bhp + that has rebuilt there gearbox to give better gear changes, espically 1st,2nd and 3rd? There must be somebody out there on this forum that has done this?:jump:

Salisbury, wiltshire. between southampton & salisbury. Does this gearbox give better in gear acceleration? I would love to have a go before i buy :rockwoot:

Few of mine. Runnning 360bhp & 380ib/ft.

Peaks at 30psi on the boost gauge which i belive is 2bar?

Do you mean the standard bosch dumpvalve? Also thanks for the advise :icon_thumright:

Hmmm now theres a thought.

Yep it's still a 1.8. The car starts boosting at 3k (slowly) than peaks (2bar) 4200-4400. Once on full boost it dosn't drop thougout the powerband. It goes right upto the rev limit which i belive is 8k. The cars great once moving. It's 1st and 2nd which are *****. Those are the gears that i am...

This is the spec of the car and a wee pic :) I sold my 500/500 Evo IX GT to fund are new house so the S3 is a stop gap for a year. Wish i didn't buy it now!! Great car but not anything like what i am used to :faint: Anybody in the southwest that you would recommend for a 2nd opinion? Forged...

Has anbody had the gearbox rebuilt with different gear ratios?

Thanks for that. Looks like i'm gonna sell it than as it's no good to me. Thank god i didn't spend 10K+ for this conversion :motz:
