New Dv went in today. The boost seems back to how it should be but can still hear some
Ppsssty under load. Any key areas I can check for a leak, split hose
Etc?
Audi Australia makes good profit on DVs. Been quoted $225 for one today. Have seen them online for Less than half that. Never mind, picking one up from a specialist for much less later today. Bringing back full boost! :-))
Good decision. Rotors will look very fresh and be much easier to clean compared to the speedlines. Mine are the dual 7 spoke RS style and I hate cleaning them. Right pain in the ****. Can't imagine how long speedlines take :-/
Right so got the toolbox out and removed the engine cover etc and got the DV off. S3kel, thanks for the pic upload. My DV is neither one of those, it's one of the first with the orange rubber diaghram. The gasket looks fine, no splits or tears but I fear it may be a bit tired. There is a bit of...
Nice. Thanks for that. I've just got the how to remove guide for the dv from Warren_s3 on here so going to have a look. I also noticed yesterday that the engine cover isn't sitting perfectly on the engine. Another example of the quality of work by Audi following a service. Let's see what I find.

Morning all...
My buckets need a little bit of cleaning action, looking a bit dull. Any suggestions on process and products to restore them to a nice factory like finish. I've picked up some Meguiars rich leather cleaner but am interested in what everyone else does...
Appreciate any...
Thanks for the feedback comments fellas. Ref the all black, the thought of blacking the hallmark Audi alloy wing mirrors kills me. It would be a sin surely not...? How legal is this laminx stuff. Will it cover the rear lights too. Pretty keen on covering the red. I reckon remap will happen next...
Hey guys
Well its been a good number of years, 7 to be exact, and now back in the Audi! This time it's an S3 in Sydney!
Its completely stock engine wise, no plans to change anything...yet. Haha!
Do we have many members on here who live in Sydney???
Good to reconnect with some of...
Test drive was superb!!! With all the extras ie;Xenons, 19" BBS alloys, cruise control and extended leather - a tad under £34,000.00!!!
Second hand Porka aint that much......?
Saw on today near Birmingham. On way home, nipped into the dealerships and booked in for a test drive tomorrow at 11am. They have got a V6 demonstartor there for the week.
Cant wait!
