They look like A3 8L calipers, the 8P ones don't seem to have the same type of "ridges / fins". Happy to be proved wrong though...

You can pry the white part off if you want to paint it properly. Take the air box out, separate the two parts (upper and lower casing) and you will notice tabs from the white part melted on to the grey upper cover. Using a soldering iron, melt and pull apart carefully. I have done this on my...

As far as I know, the RTech dyno is surface bolted to the ground as opposed to buried in the ground (and therefore not mobile). They have a ramp / lift that allows you to drive on to the dyno and the car is strapped down to the ramp / floor. Unconventional, yes - mobile, no. The dyno was...

I'm fairly sure it should be behind the wheel arch lip, I have pulled mine over to sit on top of the lip where it meets the sill though to stop the paint from getting chipped (I gave up using touch up paint there, it was worn away in no time).

Could this be down to dirty inlet valves / inlet flaps? Looking at some recent posts it would suggest that the carbon build up here could reduce the inlet volume up to 30%. I have the same issue, only noticeable when up to temperature and then you can just feel a little "flutter" on idle. I...

I don't know what's worse, the flip flops or his choice of trainers ....... [emoji85] (retreats back to his cave).

I'm not sure if I had the same noise as you guys, my wipers would make a 'tapping' noise as it reached the highest point in the arc when in operation and I was advised that it was simply down to old worn out wiper blades (they worked well at clearing the screen despite the noise they made)...

Man down! Good luck Ash and congratulations! Hope to see you back on this for soon mate.

I had something similar happen to my car - I put it down to Audi not torqueing the bolts up after they changed the cam belt / water pump etc : http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a3-s3-sportback-8p-chassis/192817-broken-engine-mount-bolts.html Glad to hear that the bolts were loose enough to remove by...

Just in front of the rear wheel on the driver side. A little fiddly to get the pipe connectors off (aren't they all?). As sliced said, wear goggles and keep some rags / container ready to deal with any spills.

It comes in quite a light grey colour, here's a link I found from a foreign Audisport site when I googled the part number that Nigel gave: http://www.audisport-iberica.com/foro/topic/176761-portagafas-valido-para-a3-y-a4-b6/ I was looking at installing the same but I think it may be too light...

I have a passenger side door handle arm that came from a 2007 S Line 3dr if anybody needs, along with the interior door release (non LED type). PM me if interested. I haven't got round to getting an image of the bits yet but will do soon and stick them in the classifieds.

Thanks for checking that over, much appreciated!

Looking at the 8P4 part code, does this mean it's only available for the sportback model? Is it likely to be available for a 3 door too? I had a puncture recently and hated having to potter about at such slow speeds and avoid dual carriage ways until the repair was carried out. A full size...

I had a Millteck 200 cell Cat on my A3 1.8T (8L) for almost 3 years, even with 130k miles there was never a problem when it went for its emissions test. Sounds like scare-mongering if you ask me. You may run into issues if you have a 100cell Cat I've been told, perhaps that is what they were...

I agree Nigel, it's an 8.8 rated bolt that has sheared - Elsawin states that it should be tightened to 40Nm for anyone who needs to know (based on a BWA engine code, others may be different).

PM me your email address - I have a document (PDF) that has a good step by step guide - I'm hoping to use it when I get round to removing my inlet manifold to clean the inlet valves - the guide is made for replacing the turbo on an S3 for an aftermarket item but has all the info and more on what...

Have a read of my post that I have just put up: http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a3-s3-sportback-8p-chassis/192817-broken-engine-mount-bolts.html Seems like Audi have no idea what a torque wrench is these days.....

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...

I've had a look through the website (thanks for the link) but the door handle covers aren't listed on there.... Perhaps someone could PM a reg number and I could get TPS to trace it that way maybe? Any help appreciated,
