Boy was I wrong as you try and pull out the old one your restricted as the wire does not seem long enough to make this job a simple one...

    New A3 Air vents surrounds?

    I know this is quite an old post I have come across whilst searching for "replacing side vents". Surely the TT vents are all circular, certainly not the same as the S3 8L, so not sure what they are on about in the original post. Anyone know? Plus I am guesing they simply pop out with a...

    s3 8l little to no boost

    goodwood green s3...probably my most favourite colour on the S3 ever since my first encounter with one. Apparently not a popular one by all accounts, but come sale time for one of those it would ceertainly poke my interest

    Reborn s3

    Wel it takes a brave man WITH MONEY & compentancy in most garage activities to rebuild that as no doubt this will end up costing a lot of time, effort & money.

    Snow Foam question....

    Newbie question on wash foam...

    fairly simple question, but if i used the Meguiars - hyper wash (or similar) , followed by a jet wash of pure clear water would I still need to use a sponge/bucket to go over the car? Sorry, just read previous posts and got my answer! Really?....surely simply jet spray the car once, give it a...

    Haldex system confusion

    Yep, the haldex is well known and documented problem on our cars. I am not surprised you happen to to get a 2nd hand one also with the same issue. I knew there would be a high probability of this hence it took me years before I managed to find one (new) on ebay from the US at a cost of second...
