    H&R S3 ARBs

    Just fit a Whiteline 24mm rear anti roll bar. Does exactly what you need. Understeer just about gone.

    Engine expired

    I was away on business. I used my international RAC cover. So far that has worked ok. The car is now at a friendly Seat garage I know in the south of Holland. We'll see what progress it will make. Just heard that my other Audi in the UK has a failed alternator. Great. Maybe I should have...

    Engine expired

    Driving a diesel has just got a whole lot more expensive for me last night. My engine expired while on the continent. I think the turbo broke and the engine ingested a bit of debris...... Will find out today what the damage is.......... I wasn't even kicking its *ss.

    ARB: H&R vs. Eibach

    What is the diameter of the standard front ARB on your S3? I tried my Whiteline 24mm front ARB on harder settings and found it increased understeer. It was best on the soft setting. So you might well be right that an uprated rear ARB and standard front ARB is the best solution.......... On my...

    ARB: H&R vs. Eibach

    I've never had any problems with the Whiteline stuff. It has always done exactly 'what it said on the tin'. I've read a lot of their technical papers on their website and found them very informative. I know from experience that both Eibach and H&R are very good manufacturers but I like the way...

    ARB: H&R vs. Eibach

    The Whiteline ARBs fitted without trouble, no knocking. I fitted the 24mm adjustable front and rear. I have the front on full soft and the rear on the middle setting. It suits me really well, almost no understeer and really nice balance. The Whiteline ARBs are slightly shorter than the German...

    ARB: H&R vs. Eibach

    I have the Whiteline adjustable ones. They seem very good value for money. Mind you, I don't know why not more A3 drivers use the Whiteline products. The Golf 5 guys rave about the WALK...... I must say that it made a big difference on my A3. http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=395.0

    Performance mods advice needed

    On my A3 the Whiteline WALK and Whiteline anti roll bars transformed the handling from 'stodgy' to fun............

    Seriously uneven tyre wear

    I fitted the Whiteline kit myself and the WALK is definately NOT a subframe off job on the 2.0 engined models. Their video shows it quite nicely........ About half an hour I reckon.

    Seriously uneven tyre wear

    The front wishbone, rear bush is probably a bit too soft, allowing for too much toe-out during driving. When I bought my A3, the tyres were worn on the inside as well, but the static alignment was perfect. I changed the wishbone bush and mounting to the Whiteline WALK and my Micheline Pilot...

    I used Whiteline coil wrap. I think it was part number K60950. About a tenner.........

    Thanks guys, The bumpsteer kit sounded good to me as, unfortunately, I am a techie and have measured bumpsteer on my A3. It does have quite a bit of it and the kit seems to be an easy way of reducing it. I am just looking to get a decent amount of grip, traction and good balance in the car so...

    Hi, Finally taken a picture of my Sportback while in Cloggieland. I have done a few thousand miles now and am looking for some extra suspension mods. So far I have fitted the Whiteline WALK http://www.whiteline.com.au/docs/bulletins/163-%20mk5%20anti%20lift.pdf This has made a very positive...

    After replacing the boost control thingie on the bulkhead, the car now pulls cleanly with no more boost issues. A joy to drive. I tried the hardest setting on the Whiteline anti roll bar but found it too lively for my liking. So the middle setting seems to be the best for my driving style. Is...

    The bodywork on my car is by no means perfect but from a distance the dark green looks good. The quality of the leather is not as good as the leather Recaros in my other Audi though. I have replaced the fuel temp sensor. This seems to have sorted the odd hick-up while driving. The CV joint and...

    Hi, I am new to the forum. I bought a 2005 Sportback 2.0 Tdi last week as my other Audi was getting too expensive for day to day use. Nice dark green metallic that makes me think of my old Mk1 Gti, black leather and 40 mpg :-) I am just doing some work to the Sportback to get it up to scratch...
