    Nogaro Blue 8L S3 Haverhill

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

    Speed signal wire?

    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...

    Why has my MPG dropped???

    I've got a 2001 S3 with the AMK engine. About 2 weeks ago I removed the fuel injectors and sent them away to be cleaned and flow tested. I also changed the spark plugs at the same time and took the inlet manifold off to clean it up and spray it black. I hoped that doing the injectors and plugs...

    On the way back from Santa Pod.....

    Did anyone else who went to Springfest on Sunday see the man standing in a field off A14? He was completely starkers and waving his willy at the traffic! Just wondering how long he was stood there for, we spotted him at about 16:30.

    Problem with head unit swop - any ideas?

    I've just fitted my Alpine ida-X305 head unit into my 2001 S3. The car has Bose and had the Symphony head unit. The Alpine powers up and works fine, all the speakers are working and I'm pretty sure the tupperware sub is as well. However, I get a really loud THUD through all the speakers when I...

    There's one less S3 in the world (probably)

    I'm very sad to report that my S3 has been written off by the insurers. I had a bump a couple of weeks ago (my fault :sorry:) and I was hoping the damage would be repaired. It was a low speed shunt so the damage wasn't too serious IMO. It was just light front end damage, but the estimator...

    It's cambelt change time, or is it?

    I've got a 2000 S3 with the APY lump. I understand that the cambelt should be done every 60k. My cars getting on for 118k. Just checked the service history and the first change was done at the main dealers at 80k (better late than never I suppose!). Should I go ahead and get it done soon or...
