    S3 Values as of late...

    I tend to go off ebay for realistict prices.. However, the nearest s3 to me is over 100miles away from me and priced £1.2k higher than i priced mine. So i think im off the mark a bit.

    007P Flutter

    I serviced mine earlier today. Used heaps of the red grease and mine hasnt "stuck" yet. Did you clean under the old seals before putting the new ones in? as mine had a lot of graphite coloured stuff in the grooves.

    The Dreaded hesitation problem....

    I used to get a problem with hesitation between 3-4k rpm on my AMK s3. Turned out to be no'4 coilpack (the awkward one) lifting up... almost like air pressure holding it upward so it doesnt seat properly. I simply put a cut in the rubber around the top coilpack seal and its been fine since.

    Fluttery noise instead of DV noise.

    Ok, in between rain spells today. I checked the hose from n75 to actuator- Thats fine. Checked the Manni to Dv hose, looked fine and replaced it anyway. Popped the DV off and opened her up. It was a bit dirty inside, few oiley smudges. When i re assembled i thought i would check the operation...

    42DD shifter bushes.

    Haha.. I too have used Tigerseal to stiffen engine mounts on previous cars. Unfortunatly there isnt much left of my shifter bushes. I think ill go for it and fit the 42dd ones see how they fare.

    42DD shifter bushes.

    How can an epoxy rubber offer the same performance as machined alloy? would you trust a sikaflex wheel?

    Fluttery noise instead of DV noise.

    42DD shifter bushes.

    Hi again ASN. Last thread ill make today. My gear shift bushes (the ones on the end of the cables) have a lot of freeplay. IE - There is lost motion between moving the gearstick and the Mech actually selecting gear. I stumbled upon the 42DD alloy bushes that "Awesome" sell for the 8n TT...

    Fluttery noise instead of DV noise.

    Hi ASN. Over the last week or so i have been occasionally getting a fluttery noise when i let off the throttle. Where i usually get a nice clean/ crisp tsh.... I assumed i had a boost leak, so today i smoke tested my system.... It was fine, bar a little seap around the oil cap (is this bad?) It...

    Why do you need the part number?. If your VAG partsman cannot find an armrest then he deserves shooting.

    Split pipe under manifold.

    I dont suppose anybody has this part (circled in green) split or otherwise... left over from a catch tank conversion? Or from replacing the whole lot?. I have found someone to custom make some pipework... Hopefully cheaper than OE which is £63. But they would need a template. Cheers
