    Major power loss ! whats up ?

    I had a similar problem to that with a volvo 480 turbo i had a few years ago! when accelerating hard it would judder slightly and make a popping noise(misfire) revs but it wasnt constant. at slow speeds and normal acceleration it was fine, I traced it to the dump valve being replaced to an...

    I have setup the nano version 3 with the gateway 100 in my S3. why does it jump from any cd 1-4 onto cd 5 once its been playing for 20secs or so??? Can you also control the ipod controls not radio when its connected? it doesnt work. :( Mike

    BMW M3 Vs Revo'd S3?

    A BMW M3 would destroy the S3 everyday of the week! I think the bigger displacement and BHP will make up for the loss of the turbo! I have test driven the BWM Z4 M coupe which has the 3.2 ltr and that was awesome....very scary in the wet! Audi felt safer to drive thats why I picked it (and my gf...

    Petrol Prices - Will It Ever Go Down?

    It is unlikely to go down.....If anything it will increase! nationwide strike(s) protests would be required to convince the big boys to drop the fuel tax! they would only come back with something like "pay as you drive" to offset such a move!!! :unsure: Stick with your diesel, I wish i had...

    Thinking Of Selling The TDI - What Do You Think?

    Not to pi$$ on your fire but have you done an insurance quote for an S3 I'd imagine its going to cost you a small fortune esp (>£1.5-2k) if you only have 1years ncb!!!! Might be worth while keeping your oil burner, stay safe and save for a new S3 a year or so down the line. Its a good feeling...

    S3 Fuel Consumption Question

    Lets face it....we all knew what MPG we would get when we bought the S3 and I personally didn’t buy it for its fuel economy. I had a Skoda Fabia 1.9TDi vRS before it and its like chalk and cheese; skoda would do 62mpg on motorway S3 will do 27mpg(32mpg if you drive it like an old man-takes...

    S3 Fuel Consumption Question

    those figures are incorrect. If you drive 30miles/day and you average 27mpg and fuel is £1/ltr. Would will spend. 30/27 = 1.111 gallons/day 1.111 x 4.545 = 5.05 litres/day 5.05 litres x £1(cost of fuel) = £5.05p/Day x 5days = £25.25p/Week If you average less mpg...
