I recently had what I could only describe as a metallic tapping noise coming from the front drivers side of the car occasionally. I got my dad to have a look to see if he could identify the source of the noise but as it wasn't easy to replicate, we couldn't quite locate the problem. A week later...

Hi guys / girls, I'm having some paintwork done soon to my A3 passenger door through Audi (warranty job) and wanted to get the exterior door handle cover replaced for the later type with the chrome strip on top as it's gonna cost me less than buying the rattle cans of paint / lacquer to have...

I just came across this : VWVortex.com - TD1 warranty flag It seems that Audi (US) have a way of checking if a car is mapped, and they are using it to void customer warranties as a result. I don't know if Audi UK have a similar system, I'm sure they will have it soon if it's not in operation...

Hi guys, I'm a new poster on this particular forum, I previously had a 1.8T 8L and after selling it recently, I made plans for what I needed (read 'wanted') in my next car. I had already decided that I would purchase an A3 2.0 TFSI S-Line so the search was on. Having done plenty of research on...

Whilst having my clutch changed recently, the garage that carried out the work managed to break the little tab that you press to unclip the MAF plug from the sensor. Now, to most people this wouldn't be a big issue but my OCD kicked in and I wanted to replace it (I had doubts that the plug would...

I thought I'd post up a few pics of my little brother's S3, a nice silver APY engined car that he loves to bits, he even calls it his 'first wife' much to the dismay of his missus... Every morning, he starts his car up, pulls it out from the garage (where my dad operates his business from) and...

I recently managed to get hold of a set of genuines BBS RC's (8J as opposed to the 7.5J version fitted to the Golf MK4 Anniversary model). Got hold of a set of 5 in immaculate condition, the 5th wheel has a 2" kerb scar but as it's only a spare wheel, I'm not gonna bother getting it refurbed...

Interesting site for working the figures out: Car Stats - Calculator I just tried my car: Weight: 1238Kg's BHP: 150bhp BHP/Tonne: 123.1 Now, if my car gets mapped at say 210bhp, the BHP/Tonne shoots up to 172bhp/Tonne! These figures may mean nothing in the real world, however it kept...

I paid a visit to Nick at R-Tek today after speaking to him about getting an exhaust for my car. He had previously looked underneath the car and had a few ideas on how it could work. Once on the ramp, the exhaust was removed completely (after having to gently remove one nut on the flange to...

Hi guys, I know many people on here have A3's with the S3 rear bumpers. I'm also aware that this conversion requires the original discreet tailpipes to be shifted over for a good fit: I have spoken to a reputable and well known manufacturer (not sure if I can mention their name) who may...

Hi Folks, Leading on from some interest in doing a rolling road shoot-out a few days ago, I finally managed to pop up to see the guys (Nick & Ben) at R-Tec UK (based in Hinckley, Leicestershire, 5 minutes from the M69, Jnct 1). They are sponsors of another well known forum and the feedback has...

I know many folks on here have aftermarket exhausts fitted to their S3's and was wondering if anyone would want to part with (part of) their old backbox that they have lying spare now. I'm getting hold of an S3 rear bumper for my A3 and wanted to just weld the S3 tailpipes on to my exhisting...

Hi Folks, Does anybody have the newer style 'fan' type windscreen washer jets, or has retro-fitted them into their 8L? Just wondering as a friend's 2001 Polo has them and I like how it sprays all over the screen as opposed to the little jets of water it currently spits out. Any part numbers...

I'm a noob when it comes to the Audi A3 20vT engines (I know mines is an AUM code) and it has a misfire fom idle, which seems to clear up after about 2500rpm. After doing a few searches, it seems that it could be: Coil Packs MAF Post Cat Sensor Dump Valve (N75?) The reason I ask is that my...
