Just saw a nice clean looking S3, in the same colour as mine at the bottom of Boleyn Way in Haverhill. Anyone on here?

Good pics. Scotland does have some brilliant driving roads and awesome scenery.

For anyone who's interested I managed to find out that my car doesn't have canbus. The speed signal wire was in the main power connection block for the stereo. It was a green/white coloured wire that was in line with the permanent live on the opposite side of the plug. The HUD is now installed...

Done.

Same problem here. I've got a facelift 8L S3 and trying to go from Audi double DIN to an Alpine single DIN. Couldn't find the correct fascia after hours of searching online. I ended up buying the 8P one and filing it down to make it fit. It will never be quite right though so I'm keen to find a...

I'm using the on-board computer too, although it's not 100% accurate it does give you a rough idea. Are you sure you sure that you are looking at the average comsumption rather than the instantaneous? The average has a symbol before the numbers like a circle with a diagonal line through it.

You might be right. I don't really understand how the canbus system works.

That's what I was afraid of. I really don't fancy taking the dash apart. I think I remember seeing a gala wire somewhere behind the stereo on my old pre-facelift S3 but I could be wrong. You can use the aircon display to bring up current road speed so maybe I can find something there.

It's got dodgy written all over it. Avoid like the plague.

That interior is grim. Looking forward to seeing it finished.

Nice one, thank you. I'll check behind the stereo first. What exactly do you mean by the dash pod?

I brought a heads up display unit today that projects a speed readout onto the windscreen. It works in KM and I'm off to Le Mans in a couple of weeks so I thought I'd wire it up for the journey. It needs a speed signal input to make it work. Can anyone suggest an easy place to pick up a speed...

Welcome to ASN.

Yes mate, I tried in 3rd and 4th. I'll give it another go tonight just to make sure, but to be honest I think I'll change it tomorrow morning anyway and see if it makes any difference to the reading. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the suggestion. I've already been through the nightmare of dodgy breather hoses, I replaced them all last month after they started breaking down and blocked my oil pickup with melted rubber. I'm glad I caught it in time, it came very close to writing my engine off. I gave my car a...

Right, thanks for the help everyone. It seems the loose hose was the cause of my problem. Just driven about 30 miles an managed an average of 29mpg, the best I've ever had! I stilI want to test my MAF just to be sure but I didn't get a chance to log the airflow because of traffic. My favourite...

15cms? How much have you lowered your car by? Lol. Mine measures: 35.5 cms on the rear 35 cms on the front I'm running standard shocks and springs, but they are past their best and need replacing (particularly the rears). Hope this helps.

Yep, that sounds like the one. Hopefully it was the cause of my problem. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think I may have found the problem: there is a breather hose which runs from under the manifold and goes up to the jumble of hoses on the top of the engine. It wasn't sealing properly at the manifold end. I must have missed it when I rechecked everything the other day, doh. Would this cause...
