    Mapped car on normal Unleaded?

    Chaps, My car has been running a bit iffy the last week. (Bit hesitant, feels down on power and doesn't feel as if its coming on full boost all the way through the revs, just seems limp!) I have thought about MAF's and coilpacks but it also occurred to me that it started the day I filled up...

    Car feels hesitant, drop in power?

    Chaps, Just drove the S3 home and it feels a bit sluggish...almost like it needs to clear its throat! No warning lights have come up, and its particularly noticeable at higher speeds... Any ideas, sorry for the brief explanation, more to come tomorrow!

    First time in the S3, what a weekend! My car has the following mods: MTM Map Milltek Cat Back Eibach ARB's So not highly modified in the slightest, but for anyone without an uprated ARB set up, get it done now, the difference is amazing. Considering the car is running standard shocks and...

    Running out of steam after 4k?

    Chaps, When giving it some in my S3 the initial oomph isn't too bad but after about 4k it really seems to kind of bog down out of power. I have an MTM map at the moment and I standard DV I think, it makes a very loud wooosh noise though. I think I have a 007p off my old car somewhere so would...

    Loose Mirror!

    Hi chaps, My passenger side mirror is very wobbly, I don't think it will fall off but is this just a case of tightening something up? They are the alloy mirrors by the way.
