Does anyone know if the pads of the A3 3.2 are the same as the S3 pads? I would like to buy them from the US but I am not sure.

My bad.......I wanted to say that my car has the latest revision of non piston valve.....

I had a very annoying rattle....it was the fuel line which is plastic, a bit loose in the place where it attaches to the firewall. Try that!

If you want something cheap and simple (but not very space worthy) I added an infinity basslink 10 inch powered sub, conected to the Bose OEM sub. Sounds great! But it takes a bit of trunk space.

Update: Yesterday, after posting, since I was a bit bored, I went ahead and removed both valves. The DV is the latest G revision (my car is build date 09-2007 for future reference to others) and was in top shape, no tears no wear, as Staz said, this item does not suffer heat stress as the other...

I kinda dont like the BSH system for the fact that it relyes on the compressor inlet alone for evacuating crankcase gases, at high vacuum or small throttle openings there is very little venting (in my opinion). This is one of those things I´d dont like the way it is upgraded......I mean, there...

My car is about to be 2 years old, and I am worried there 2 items could be already letting go, since it is a common fault on the 2.0T engine, specially on the GTI´s. Has anyone changed either of these items on an S3? If someone can throw me the part numbers for these items (specially the PCV...

:) Can you (or anyone) confirm about the brake pads, both front and rear? Thanks!!!

I have been lurking around a bit, not posting, kinda lost some interest in cars for the meantime I can say...... I think I´ve found my new love:

I am about to purchase a set of pads for my S3, can anyone confirm if the brake pads for the S3 are the same as the ones on the A3 3.2? Thanks Demian

Thanks Kunis! Unfortunately in my country there are no such thing as campaings, they wait until the car breaks down, then they replace the parts! It sucks! My car has only had one service done (first service, has very little kms) and all they did was change the oil. Do you know any place where...

My car has been having fueling issues on cold starts, and the DTC stored is for G410 low fuel pressure sensor. I know it is a common fault on the 2.0T golfs and such, but I do not know about this on the S3 8P. Did anyone have any problem with it? Any updates done by dealers free of charge...

Thanks a lot!! I never knew what the 1% meant on the headlight! On the bixenon A3s, you must use vag com, and set the controller to learn the correct height, so you must aim the headlights while using vag com, the it adjusts itself.

I have just finished replacing a damaged headlight, and now I have to reset the code with vag com for the leveling to work. Then, with vag com, you must lock the headlights so that you aim them against a wall. My question is, does anyone have the specs on the service manual on aiming the...

The lumbar support (electric) on my S3 kinda broke, it works, I can hear it, but some kind of metal clip broke and fell off, so it is loose inside the seat itself. I think the rear of the seat must be removeable, but tried and could not dismantle it, does anyone know how to remove this rear...

A friend of mine is selling his S3 which has parking sensors, and offered me to keep his rear bumper and parking sensors since we have the same car colour. Does anyone know if the electronics are easy to swap? Is there any vag com coding involved??? Thanks a lot! Demian

My friend´s S3 has developed a terrible knocking noise, which gets worse as revs increase. He swears it is rod knock, but I am more biased towards a valve lifter or even a belt roller. Has anyone heard of something similar or some similar failure? The car is going to the stealers on wednesday...

Jonny, Did you see this topic on vortex? Got me thinking about the real size of the injectors..... http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=4080220&page=3

Jonny, Are the RS4 pieces larger? I mean, the RS4 is rated at 420 hp with 8 injectors and the S3 mapped runs at about 320 hp with only 4 injectors (and a richer fuel map due to being turbocharged)........I guess the RS4 injectors run at very low duty cycle from the factory......or am I missing...

Does anyone know of a place to buy the OEM injectors online and the aproximate price?
