    Blown pipe off EGR Valve? PICS

    Hey guys, I was driving earlier and experienced a loud pop, like a pipe coming off. Followed by a serious lack of power and a noise I can only describe as loud, exhaust, sounded a bit like a V8 Cobra lol. Anyway, when I lifted the bonnet I noticed a metallic pipe had popped out of what I think...

    How much should I lower by? (pic)

    The front sits VERY high on my 2.5tdi. Would 50mm front and 40mm rear be too much? I think the front could probably do with 50mm but I'm not sure the back needs to come down that far. Is there a 50/30 kit anywhere?

    Need help finding a drivers side intercooler.

    Mine's split to the point of needing to be replaced. I've looked online but not sure which part number I should be looking at or where I can get one from, other than the stealers. Any ideas? 2005 B7 2.5tdi

    One of them days!

    I dropped my 2005 163 2.5TDi off at RK Engineering today down in St Agnes for a remap. I've not had it long and wasn't happy with the performance/power. Seems I was right not to be happy, Si rolling roaded it before doing anything and it only produced 110bhp and was 100ft/lb of torque adrift...

    2.5 v6 tdi EGR valve

    Hey guys. Vagcom is seeing this as a fault and I wondered what my options were. Delete or replace? It's the 163 and I was planning a remap too if that makes any difference. Thanks

    Water pump failed, how do you diagnose it properly?

    Ive read a few topics and i think our S3 needs a new one, even though the last one was replaced in 2006, 35k ago. A friend of ours doesnt think it is the water pump, so is there a definitive way to test/check to see if its failed/failing? Symptoms are:- Doesnt overheat on tickover no matter...

    Water Pump - plastic or metal?

    Will be replacing the water pump on our mapped S3 over the next few days aswell as cambelt, etc. Ive searched and read about metal impeller versions. Are these worth fitting over the standard plastic type?

    Gave the S3 a bit of a clean yesterday

    Started with a light TFR, then a Snow Foam, followed by a Megs clay, polish and wax. Think it came up well :)

    H&R springs or Eibachs?

    Ive done a search and couldnt find a thread on comparisons between these two sets of springs. Obviously H&R's are more expensive but are they really worth the extra £100? H&R >>> https://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/hr-25mm-lowering-suspension-springs-s3-8l-18t-quattro-0199-p-627.html Eibach >>>...

    Some good news and some bad news

    Our S3 went into RK Engineering today for an oil&filter and a new thermostat. This has fixed the dodgy temperature reading we'd been getting since getting the car a couple of weeks back. Simon did the work and took it for a quick test drive after checking for fault codes (none found) :D We had...

    Clutch Switch over revving - possible quick fix rather than replacement

    Our S3 was over revving between gear changes which as we all know, the most likely culprit is a faulty Clutch Switch. We bought a new one and it solved the problem. However, on taking apart the old Clutch Switch to try and find out what exactly goes wrong with them, we noticed a broken piece of...
