Hello people this the second thread I am requesting some help in diagnosing my coil packs. I have replaced one already a few month back as it had no life in it, I need to know how to run a proper test on vcds as I can feel it they are weak but can't pinpoint it precisely. I don't know if it's...

I have a loud exhaust leak and have narrowed it down to poor gaskets in place as they were reused last year when had a turbo replacement, I am confident in doing the downpipe one but need some tip doing the manifold to turbo one without removing the rocker cover etc, if anyone has done it before...

Hello everyone, The S3 seems to have a new illness every single day, latest issues are puzzling me: The speedo dies and I can't even read it from the climate control! VCDS: 16885 - Vehicle Speed Sensor: Implausible Signal P0501 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent when the above...

Hi, I have a huge issue a mate lent me his spare working alternator but now it wont even turn. I have checked: All the fuses on the side of the dash. Fuses/plate on the battery Earth wiring on under the battery still no luck. all the dash/instruments work lights work and stereo works. but...

It all started a few weeks ago car would take a few seconds to start until yesterday it brought the battery sign up while I was driving, I thought it was the battery but I took it to two garages both checked and said it's the alternator. now it wont even crank the starter motor the voltage has...

As the title says after fixing the oil light issue and few large leaks under the manifold I noticed the inlet manifold gets very hot, as hot as the cam-cover this was never the case with my car in this sort of cold weather... now I feel like it's limiting the power, I can feel it, and the g/s...

Right, I removed the inlet manifold to clean up and noticed the oil breather pipe underneath it had a 2" cut in it so I replaced it, the car feels a lot quicker but after 5 minutes driving the oil pressure light comes on/off. Big red sign and three beeps! it doesn't do it at idle only when...

Just checking as the title says, mine was changed about 2 years ago and decided to change itabout an hour ago. I think most people myself included don't pay much attention to it. Car was suffering from late start, i.e. 5 seconds delay in the morning. see the pic below

As the title says.. I am using the 4Bar as it was recomended by AMD essex for the Revo 2, but the car seems too thirsty on fuel, regardless of my driving, the mpg has dropped massively since stage 2 and decat, I was thinking if it was ok to replace my 3 bar back on, or would I be risking it...

Hi everyone. If any of you guys/girls have a spare passenger headlight for an A3/S3 S-Line 5 doors, please pm me I would buy it off you. it has to be with Xenon Housing etc. Car is 56 plate. 3.2 Quattro I can pick up if its within 50 miles of London and pay cash on collection.

Hi everyone, just want to share this info with those who are not aware already. Every last Tuesday of the month, i.e. tonight there is a VAG meet, this includes AUDI, VW, Seat, Skoda anyone can come bring in your cars inside and have a chat about your interest. I have meat couple of you...

Hi, everyone The cold weather plus age, has snapped one of my rear spring, I found the C shape coil under the car! I think it is a bit less common issue, but was wondering if I could use a coil from an A3 1.8t and does it alter the performance at all? thanks everyone.

I bet you guys have not seen this yet. I know the 800bhp S3 is fast but that's a 3.2 lump, so slightly cheating. Here is an s3 with bigger turbo, doesn't look extremely fast but I think we don't have any s3 with sort of power in the UK. I would like to be proven wrong otherwise. YouTube -...

Ok, I have an a3 pd130 tdi auto it has a lot more torque and flow when driven with the cruise control, and better mpg, does any one know what the fault might? It feels like there is no boost and numb when it's driven with the normal accelerator pedal. I have checked for fault codes, non has...

I have heard of Millers, wynns redex etc. but which one has worked for you? as I think mine are not fully atomizing , dont know if that's the right term! thanks for your inputs.

I just came accross this I think it makes sense to buy this, rather than doing the work yourself, if any of you in the process of going BT. 01 51 AUDI S3 QUATTRO 6 SPEED, RECARO'S, PX WELCOME !!! on eBay (end time 19-Nov-10 10:46:54 GMT)

I have a new 4 inch long dent and 3mm deep on the rear panel from last night, I am almost certain who might have caused it, it's a stupid Sainsbury van driver on the road, as the line of his metal bumper matches those of the dent as well as the colour swap. What could I do about it? I have not...

Hi everyone, I am inquiring about my brothers A3, which he bought recently everything seems ok apart from his steering wheel, it is ok in the first hour of driving but after a while the steering gets very hard, harder than non PAS cars, (normal drive & high speed) I have checked the fluid but it...

Hi, everyone I have bought an inner cv boot for the s3 from eurocarparts but it does not fit, it is much smaller! has anyone else had this problem with eurocarparts or is just me? where is the best place to buy one? I have to take this back and the car is parked 20miles away so I can't mess...

Hi everyone some f***** d*** head dented my driver quarter panel today, while I have been at work. I am honestly annoyed as the car had a new paint there just 2 month ago. I need some advice on a dent master you have used or know people who have used them so I can get it sorted. How good...
