Trying to sort out an issue with my oil level sensor - it's been a bit iffy since the engine was out, and slowly got to the point the fault is permanently on the dashboard. Everything always checked out so I've just been keeping an close eye on levels until oil change time. Anyway, changing...

I'm 99% I've got a boost leak - I can hear the turbo spinning quite loudly but it's not translating into much extra power! I've rummaged around and the only perished hose I can find is the one on the top right of the intake manifold which I can't really figure out what it's doing - it runs off...

My S3 is nudging 150k and I think still on it's original shocks - I've known the car since 85k and owned it since 100k and they've not been done in that time. It's starting to feel a bit uncontrolled over the bumps so time for new shocks I think... I know the default answer to this is H&R/B8s...

Got an odd problem since swapping my engine - sit in 5th/6th at 2.5-3k rpm, plant the throttle and revs jump instantly by 500 or so then it accelerates as normal (albeit not as strong as normal, but I suspect that's probably a boost leak or similar). I'm guessing it can't be the clutch as I've...

I seem to be suffering a gradual loss of power on my S3, but struggling for ideas where to look! The symptoms are it seems to lack the same degree of boost it used to have, what boost there is comes in late, and the engine sounds quite rough under load. If I disconnect the battery to clear all...

Is it possible to adjust the clutch pedal on the S3? Basically the biting point of the clutch is virtually on the floor and I really have to stretch for it which isn't ideal and a right pain in traffic. There's quite a lot of play in the top of the pedal, even after the play has been taken up...

Just bought some LED sidelight bulbs on ebay, but failing miserably at fitting them... On both sides I just cant get the covers off the back of the headlight units? Once unclipped, I've only got a matter of millimetres clearance to the battery/washer bottle, and there's no way they're ever...

Had an attempt at replacing my thermostat earlier following this: http://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1304892.phtml I think thats for a BAM engine on a TT, I've got an APY and the whole area around the lower bolt seems a lot tighter - I can barely get my hand to it let alone anything else! I...

Hi, I know this has been done to death, but I can't find a clear answer to the problems I'm having (S3 2000, APY engine): - Takes longer than normal to fire up from cold - Very juddery idle - ECU seems to have to recover from a stall whenever the revs fall to idle - Takes quite a while to get...

I've got a 2005 A4 with a standard concert HU but no CD changer. I've got a 6cd spare from a 2000 S3, I presume this will work? Also, will the cabling be in-situ behind the glovebox, and if so how do you get to it as a quick look didn't give any clues how you might go about getting behind...

Hi, new to the forum having just got my first Audi! I'm looking at replacing the concert on my S3 as it's got a dodgy volume control. I've seen in various places that replacing with aftermarket units can cause the Bose setup to 'pop'. My question is, has anyone tried this with the new Alpine...
