âI have searched on the forum & cant find a definitive answer, so here goes. I have a 2008 s3 8p(REG Jan 2008), i am just coming up to 38k & have just been to my local dealer for a price for the haldex service & the service that is due.
From the quotes i have read on here from what...
Had the car since new(S3), jan 2008, std engine, just ran out of warranty last month , i have now noticed that the clutch is starting to slip. this is probably the icing on the cake as i have had numerous faults with the car since new.
My local dealer doesnt give me any...
back to my faded insert`s, i clean them with a lightly misted m/fibre cloth as they seem to scratch so easily, then every couple of months they get cleaned with autoglym vinyl & rubber care ( which says can be used on all interior trim). the inserts have only faded in certain areas, if the...
Has anybody noticed or experienced their piano black inserts have faded? i have noticed that certain areas on mine have gone a cloudy white colour. any ideas?:huh:
Do i go for a change of disc`s & pads? don`t know who has what to offer in the brake market? EBC do replacement discs, are they any good?
have also had experience of EBC green stuff pads & Ferodo ds2500 (modified leon cupra r), never felt a big difference between the uprated & the std. The only...
Apologies for the cap`s lock, i have only just moved up to a laptop from a V-TECH. With regards to me attending trackday`s, the dealer informed me that i do trackday`s, i didn`t tell him that i did trackdays( they obviously based this assumption on the fact that i go over to the `ring` .i did...
I HAVE ISSUE`S WITH MY STD S3 BRAKE`S. CAR IS 2 YRS OLD, HAD IT SINCE NEW. IT HAS BEEN AROUND THE `RING ` A FEW TIMES. FIRST TWO TRIPS WERE FINE , NO PROBLEMS, BUT THE LAST TRIP WAS RUINED BY EXTREMELY BAD JUDDER / VIBRATION COMING FROM THE FRONT END UNDER HARD BRAKING. AS YOU ARE PROBABLY AWARE...
AS THE HEADING SAYS, I USED MY FOG LIGHTS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 2 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP YESTERDAY, LONG DRIVE IN FREEZING FOG(DOING THE PRE XMAS FAMILY VISIT).
ALL I CAN SAY IS WHAT A F**KING WASTE OF TIME THEY WERE, PROBABLY COULD OF SEEN MORE IF I LOOKED OUT OF...
having looked at the pic`s again of your discs , my discs were even more shafted than yours, they had massive ridge`s running round them.
the pads worked really well but absolutely f**ked the discs. ended up replacing them with Brembo x drilled & Ferodo pads.:blink:
i fitted some Galfer fast road pads to my Leon Cupra R, THEY ABSOLUTELY SHAGGED THE STD DISC`S!!! (discs looked very much like yours) also, previous experience with the green stuff was that they didn`t have that much bite to them ( especially not round the`ring`).:blink:
PRO`S= YOU GET YOUR BOOK STAMPED!
CON`S= THEY DONT KNOW THEIR **** FROM THEIR ELBOW & THEY DON`T GIVE A F**K ABOUT YOUR CAR.
OTHER THAN THAT THEY ARE VERY GOOD.:blink: (ONLY JOKING)
i have seen, R1NGA on a scooby at the nurburgring, also seen J33LOS at the ring on a 911 (gt3rs or turbo ,can`t`remember what exactly). Years ago i spotted a flat nose 911 with A13 UTE (A BUTE). then there was a mk1 golf years ago with FUK 1T.:wacko:
BIG THANKS TO JAMIE FOR SORTING OUT THE RR DAY, & REGAL FOR THE HOSPITALITY . Nice to meet a few people off of here, only really intended to come down & spectate, but it didn`t take long for the other half to force me to get the car on the rolling road!!
STD S3...
dealers actually managed to stop mine from creaking , which was a big suprise, applied sum grease or something! didn`t particularly want them going anywhere near it but had to bite the bullet as it was sounding like i was back in my mk2 golf!!:wacko:
has anybody replaced the front brake pads, or, has anybody had their pads out. (s3). we had a loan car (2.0tdi) & the car had good bite on the brakes , but when getting back into the s3 there is no initial bite in the pedal.
we have had a couple of good sessions at the `ring` & i am...
