Cheers mate will try that, just seems a little strange it all happened after the headlight failure

Hi guys, had a bit of a strange one last night. I've got a 99 S3 and was driving to a friends when I turned the headlights on, which caused a bulb failure flash up on the DIS. Noticed my drivers side was out but didn't think too much of it. A few seconds later a battery warning flashed up too...

Mine have stopped working a little while ago. I've checked fuse, checked all sensors, checked the little speaker in the n/s boot trim and still no joy. I'm now assuming its the module that has packed up but I cant find it. I know it's in the o/s boot panel but can't get in there as the bose amp...

I've noticed mine puffs out some smoke on start up, and my mate behind me the other day says it smokes a bit on gear change. Would this be turbo seals or valve stem seals? Not gonna be cheap either way I should imagine. How much should I expect to pay on labour for turbo removal/refitting at a...

Just been out in it again, and get a slight vibration thru the car/pedals as well as the drone. Did your tyre do the same Dave?

Cheers boys, it makes no difference in/out of gear. And I fell down a pothole a little while ago and bent a wheel which I've had repaired, and had a new tyre put on the same time. But swapped the front and the rears but still no change. It could well be a tyre thinking about it, I did originally...

My S3 has been making this weird drone noise at around 15-20mph for a little while now. It sounds like a wheel bearing but I've had them checked and they are fine apparently. I notice it more as I'm slowing down to stop, It does it without the breaks applied so I've ruled them out. But recently...

I'm from Colchester mate not far from you, brought back some memories you roaring down there. I was trying to think how fast we used to get down there before stickin the anchors on for the corner! As you're local I don't suppose you know anyone who could re code a key for me? PM me if you want

Down Birch aerodrome I see there Stacey, used to spend some nights down there back in the day

ok mate let me know how u get on, ill take it back down the garage tommorow see if any new codes have come up, was slightly concerned about the burning smell yesterday when i was trying to rev it in neutral but have not smelt it since

cheers jamie just been lookin through a few old posts and the coil packs often turn up. how much are they each? would it not be logged when plugged in to VAG?

not sure of exact code, it cant b nothing too serious i hope as it doesnt do it all the time but when it does its like the car doesnt have a turbo then a bit later its fine

The only code after the service was for the maf which has been replaced

thanks for the reply, its got a not too old forge dv on the car so wouldnt have thought it was that, as for the breather pipe under throttle body ( i presume you mean the hard plastic one) it was cracked when i got the car and got the garage to replace this with the service, but the car ran...

Hi, Ive had my '99 S3 for nearly a month now and all was good until i took it in for a service. Now sometimes when i put my foot down it will hold boost then cut out for about 5 secs (no power when foot is down). I took it back to the garage and they plugged it in and it said there was a...
