    Strange noise from rear brakes.... When driving..?

    Collected the car... and basically they said they couldn't find anything wrong with it.... some rust on the outside edge around the disks which could cause a minor "lock" if some rust builds up between the pad and disc if it's been standing around for a week without being driven - but couldn't...

    I see.... since I've owned her (a year now).. I can't remember the glove box being damped... just dropped open always.... But that would make sense - and turn the light off too!

    What the heck is this? .... behind glovebox

    It could well be the glovebox light - as the light seems to be constantly on - I can see it glowing if I look hard through all the internals when that cover is off... The arm doesn't seem to slide into the cylinder - at least I can't make it slide.... botht he loom and the arm have a hinge and...

    What the heck is this? .... behind glovebox

    I removed the trim off the side of the glovebox to try to find the source of a rattle that has been bugging me for a month now :uhm:- and found a wiring loom with some plastic arm jutting out that had broken off from the glovebox hinge mechanism. See pictures below... What is this wiring and...

    3.2 Owners

    I've had mine remapped, miltek exaust, and a BMC panel filter - and although the gains aren't as spectacular as tinkering with an FI motor, they are still substantial enough to make a noticeable difference - and well worth it if you have the spare cash. I haven't had a chacec to get it on the...

    A REVO re map for the 3.2 :) mmmm

    I had a stage 2 remap by VAG-check on my 3.2 and very pleased with it. Haven't had a chacne to dyno it yet, but at the top end the difference in acceleration is very noticeable through the gears. It's not a massive gain but certainly noticeable and worth it if you can get it for a good price.... ;)

    Well I popped up to the Pod over the weekend to do a few runs and see how the re-map had affected the quarter mile performance... pleased to say that from a 14.81 pre-remap I shaved it down to 14.32 after the remap - that's half a second - which I'm super pleased about actully and a bit more...

    Audi A3 3.2 V6 Quatto.

    Don't know as I haven't had it dyno'd. I'd say anything between 10-20bhp is a possibility as I'm running the stage 2 more aggressive timings/high octane set-up with a new BMC panel filter. Raf
