    Struggling to sell - any tips?

    Ok thanks guys - well I've dropped the price now to £3395 which I can't believe I've had to do for a facelift 2001 s3, ok 110k but still makes my eyes water when I consider all the extras it comes with! I spent 4months looking all over the country for it. Thanks for your help guys I really...

    Struggling to sell - any tips?

    Thanks for the tips guys - I will try the Ebay route next I think then. Reason I'm selling is I've moved to London so I don't use it at all and it's to nice a car to be sat on the street 5 days a week doing nothing. It's at my parents and getting some use at least from my dad.

    Struggling to sell - any tips?

    Hi Guys, Well I've been trying to sell my s3 for a month but keep getting messed around by people promising to come and see it but never turn up. :( Advertised it on pistonheads and now autotrader and no joy yet... Any tips? We're not allowed to ask for price recommendation are we? I think...

    Batteries for Key Fob

    Hi Chaps! Does anyone know the part number for the key fob or have an Ebay link if that's easier? To sync it is just a case of swapping the battery pressing and lock/unlock and hey presto it'll work? (yeah right!) Thanks

    S3 2001, engine very hesitant during acceleration.... helppp!

    Good move taking it to a VAG specialist - I had similar problem few years ago and after I spent £££ changing the MAF, sparks etc I then dropped it off to a VAG specialist and it turned out to be the fuel pump! Be interesting to see what they say about yours - keep us posted hope they find it the...

    why all the fuss about the badger 5 TIP

    I've just gone from a Autobahn88 TIP which I just sold (eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace) to a Badger 5 v2 TIP and all I can say is the difference is staggering. Admittedly I also changed the standard OEM air box to a Jetex to but from all the proof here it's the B5 TIP that makes most of the...

    Misfire detection ?

    I always say this because it happened to me - but if running to lean check the fuel pump. (didn't register any fault code and was misfiring on all 4 cylinders on boost when mine was failing - fine off boost no startup issues - but when pushed when re-mapped it wasn't pumping enough fuel in hence...

    Misfire detection ?

    I had similar issues with my car when I had a remap. Changed everything as you said above - nothing. Ended up being the fuel pump! It was failing at higher rpm it couldn't pump enough fuel when needed. Was fine on ticke over normal cruising - no fault came up on VAG-COM either. Just have a look...

    Brothers.... Lend me your ears.... do I return to the fold?

    I think you have a good point JoJo - my dad had one of these yearssss ago and it was such a lovely comfy diesel cruiser. (1999 Passat Diesel) It was like driving in an armchair. The best bit? You didn't care where you parked it etc as it was worth peanuts.. They're bullet proof honestly - my...

    Brothers.... Lend me your ears.... do I return to the fold?

    Personally I think that grey S3 with a sunroof is an absolute steal if it all checks out ok and runs well. (and isn't CAT D) £3k compared to the £6,595k Golf Anniversary - and far more fun I reckon! You could reason that it's £3,595 towards the fuel bill.. ;) Plus it looks more modern than the...

    [Blog] Dan-Jnr - 2002 Audi S3 8l (225) Negaro Blue

    Let me know how you get on with the auto folding mirrors mod mate. I'd absolutely love that - particularly useful if you have the chrome mirrors as it detracts less attention from them when folded in.

    V2 Badger 5 TIP Finally Fitted

    All I'm gonna say is - FLIP ME it's like being remapped again! The sound is lovely - not to chavy at all, in fact barely noticeable when cruising normally. But open her up beyond 3k rpm giving it the beans and it sounds like a Dyson hoover's been turned on & the DV just sounds naughty! (007P)...
