quattro - that is awesome! Thanks so much - sorry about your hands but hey, at least you didn't drop the ipod in there! Thats gotta be pretty conclusive wouldn't you say. To nail this, do you know if your HG was from europarts? It looks different to the one in mine and the garage invoiced me for...

Thanks for doing that really appreciate it- Interesting that it's still got some paint on it. My S3 is a 2001 model and 127k on the clock too... Anyone else!? what about that part number - do Europarts use the same part numbers as audi?

It would be a real help if I could get a compariason - so thaks very much... it was tricky to shoot as I was taking the pic through the inlet manifold. Luckily the canon ixus I was using was really small! Thanks again - really appreciate it. It would be really good get one back on this guy!

I posted previously about a getting billed for a new Headgasket that didn't look like it was installed. I want to nail this sucker, but I gotta have my ducks in a row before I can put the boot in, and I'd really appreciate your help... Prevailing opinion is that I have to strip the head again...

Thanks - good advice there really! I got a commercial litigator in the family who can help, so I'm not worried about cost of legal advice. I just need to be 100% on the technical side...

Hmm thanks beachbuggy - the garage did use original parts... I'm not a mechanic, but I gotta say this pic of the bit of the HG I can see does look like it has been there since the year dot. Would appreciate your opinion... (this is the HG tang that sticks out under the intake manifold at the...

Rest assured, Once I can prove it I'm going all the way. I got plenty of qualified legal advice in the family. I'll let you know soon as. All a bit of a ball ache - Cheers though

yeah fair point- they did say they had pressure tested it, apparently no1 cylinder was down. But they said that it could be cracked head and/or head gasket and be prepared that the gasket replacement may not fix it. I did question them as well, and they said bring it in. But bearing in mind I...

Just after a few tips/ ideas here guys.... 9 months ago I paid a good whack to have a suspect head gasket replcaed on my 2001 S3 (completely stock). After the job, car still had same problems using coolant, mayo on the oil cap etc... So suspected the head was cracked. Having nothing to lose...

Cheers bill - I reckon the pipes gotta be the problem since they all came off for the head gasket.

Hi I got a 2001 stock S3 - owned it from new and in 120k not a single engine component failed (xcept coil packs - all changed 20k ago) on it until a few weeks ago when it had to go in for a head gasket change -Rude awakening there! Anyway, since then the car aint right -Under hard...

Thanks for the reply ess! It's definitely running better with the clutch switch unplugged, so something has happened there. I had it checked with Vagcom with respect to performance, and the garage couldn't see anything really untoward. I'm going to follow this up and post anything positive I...

Hi, I've got a 2001 S3 that's starting to slip on the performance and it bugging me! About 8 months ago I had the common clutch problem where the spot weld on the pedal let go and I got a load of broken bits of plastic in the footwell. The Audi dealer had to replace the master cylinder cos...
