Evening! I have a strange issue. I have had an issue for a while where if i undo the coolant cap when warm, the coolant boils up, rather than just releasing pressure. Only today, I noticed that on the liquid gauge and VCDS the coolant temp is rising to 110C +, but the cluster gauge is reading...

Hi guys, I am hoping someone with a 3.2 can shed some light on a replacement flywheel for me. I have spoken to a few motor factors regarding a Dual Mass flywheel for our A4 (CALA). They all say that they don't have a listing for it and say they have spoken with LUK technical and LUK don't list...

Hi guys, Looking at a 2008 3.2 manual on Friday, for the 2nd time. Basically, is there anything specific to look for on these cars? On 1st look, all looks nice and very tidy for the age. Are the chain tensioners a massive issue on these, like they seem to be on the V8s? The car has covered...

Hi guys, As the title suggests, my car loves munching turbos. I've had it for 7 years in January, and am currently on the 4th turbo (1 being new when i bought it). They seem to be lasting around 18 months / 6-10k miles. Basically, every time it seems that something has 'blocked' the oil way in...

As per title, has anyone installed any of these LED H7 bulbs into their main beams? I have been looking into them, as the halogen bulbs are quite dim, compared to later technologies. These LED bulbs seem to be quite a bit larger than halogen, so, do they even fit? Would they bring on any...

Hi guys, I discovered that my car is leaking clutch fluid from the bulk head. It is coming from the silver round thing between the pipes. Does anyone know what it's called or what it does? It can be seen in the photo below: Any help would be gratefully received. Thanks

Hi guys, I have a K718T and all the bits. Had a remap from Bill back in June, made 300bhp. I have been happy with the car - he checked for boost leaks and everything checked out ok. Since then, I have always noticed a boost leak sort of sound, but only on full boost. I have tried to trace it...

Hi everyone, Finally got up to Bill to get my Badger5 Hybrid remap! Really, really happy with the results - car goes really, really well. I was really happy to find out that the car was running 247bhp on actuator pressure! Overall, We came out with 300bhp 280lbft. Not ground braking power...

AUDI S3 QUATTRO BLUE approx 350BHP | eBay Thought you guys may want a laugh...

Hi guys, In brief, handed the S3 over to the girlfriend for 2 weeks and got it back, 60bhp down. lol. Basically, was recording 234bhp on liquid gauge when I last drove it, didn't pull too bad. But noticed when I got it back it felt sluggish. Looked on liquid, only 171bhp. Checked Boost...

Hi guys, I fitted a new stage 2 hybrid turbo, along with a V3 Manifold, and ever since, I have had a turbo 'flutter' on WOT. I am running Revo stage 1, which was fine before the work took place (with a stage 1 hybrid before). The car drives better than ever, other than this...

Hi guys, I complained of a turbo whine a week or so back, hoping it would be just due to a leak in exhaust, but took a proper look earlier and on the intake, there is about 0.5-1cm play in and out and more than enough side to side. Now, I know this is going to need replacing... there is no...

Hi guys, I have searched for this, but can only find stuff on Diesels (even though its the same sort of thing) But I have developed a whine that can only be described as a siren noise. It only happens when the turbo is beginning to spool and on its last bit of spool down. I have just fixed a...

Hi guys, Sorry to ask a stupid question, but my car developed an exhaust leak earlier today. Happened all of a sudden, very strange. It is deffinately at the back of the engine (turbo area). All I am wondering is what is most common to split in that area? I am really hoping that it is the DP...

So, I went to get my stage 1 map turned up yesterday (pretty sure it's just coinsidence than anything). Car was driving perfect. Stopped at Tesco for some shopping, car started fine. This morning, went to take it out to have a play with the new feel. It started then cut out. It just will not...

Hello! I took on the task of changing the clutch and flywheel in my S3 on Wednesday. Had it finished last night. Basically, when I pull away, there is a funny rotational vibration noise, like something is catching a driveshaft. I have had a look, but they are all totally clear. When on full...

Hi guys, quick question. I read on here that Polo Top mounts lower the s3 by about 10mm, so I went and bought some yesterday, using a 2001 registration. It was for a 1.4 (maybe this is my problem). When I got the old one out, I found that they were in fact the same item with the same part...

Hi guys, Ok... so replaced the N249 bypass hoses today, re-routed them around the rocker cover to make it a bit tidier. Everything is attached and plugged in. Took it for a drive and immediately noticed that the DV is very very, worryingly quiet. (I posted a month or so back queirying the...

Hi everyone, Had my car mapped today. Went to APD in Holton Heath for a Revo. Highly recommend them for anyone in the area! So... as I am running 95 fuel and the fact that the clutch has seen better days (slipping at full boost in sixth) it is on setting 2, I think he said. But what a...

hi guys. Been running my car for 4 months now. Since I fitted silicon TIP and Cone filter, have enjoyed the turbo chattering away. Only in the last week have I come to realise (due to reading) that it is probably damaging the turbo. The turbo is only 4 months old (4k miles), so need to sort...
