I would check all the connections to the pcv system, oil cap, dipstick o ring, the pipe which is over the downpipe close to the windscreen, remove the factory tensioners around that and replace them with proper screw on hose fittings, everybody underestimates the pressure in the tfsi engines, it...

http://www.bshspeedshop.com/store/home.php?cat=780 Engine and tranny mounts, if theres flex in these it becomes a circus of problems in 4wd cars. With the s3 haldex, downpipe, clutch flywheel, bad shifting leading to tranny wear.

Boggy weld your downpipe!!!! Same problem!!! Change your engine mounts and tranny mount w upgrades! Dont bit the bullet like i did!! AAAAhhhh! your turbo is fine, the downpipe can loose exhaust without making a big sound, just the boost is lower, and the flex in the softened mounts is messing...

Im at 103,000 km right now in Greece with **** roads and daily traffic, running Stage 2 with a sachs racing paddle type clutch and single mass flywheel. The most important thing is to check the engine and transmission mounts. They soften up and then havoc breaks loose. Just got through...

Andy just a tip from my extra standpoint try Slick 50 oil additive in case you dont already have it or something similar because turns make oil sludge to one side. We dont have dry sump engines in S3's. And a tip from Reeves Callaway who turbocharged Corvettes, don't trail into a turn with...

boxsters are for strippers... :whistle2: ha ha! Lets not get started again... !!

recently added powerflex complete lower engine mount kit problem resolved by eighty percent, once all the othe mounts are replaced its going to be tank solid... definitely night and day difference cant beleive what a difference sixty euros made...

one big help is to warm the car up properly and use slick 50.... cooling down is important but not as important for this item... Since I put the additive in my oil the cold engine performance is beautiful... meaning I can drive the car around reasonably without feeling like the car is being...

absolutely it does...

It's only happened once so far but some gearbox additive like don't laugh its called Millitec ! From military technology... Its good for the engine to it says... Definitely does the trick with the synchros.. But still going for the engine tranny mounts.... Knowing from my 4x4 days when these...

Gotta let us know how the V3's transform the car Alex plus the roll bars, its a mod I wanna do after the engine stuff. Ive got Koni's on there not really satisfied but the suspension did get better after the mechanics sprayed all my suspension's pivoting points with Wurth spray. Started...

Great thread just put my clutch on and its single mass had an upshift failure but am gonna go completely powerflex with all the engine and tranny mount issues. I already have a Milltek lower engine mount brace thing with a urethane bushing and a washer showing on the lower skid plate under the...

Hello Warren, I'm in the market for a catch can but can't figure out whether to buy the bsh or the forge unit. I noticed a major price difference and I'm not sure whether its justified. Of course if the forge unit is specifically made for the s3 it might not require labour and over here in...

Hello David I've got a solar orange s3 8p late 2006 myself and have ordered everything from forge except for the catch tank. How is that mod going for you? Is it worthwhile for engine longevity and smoother operation? I dig the trick look and all but am really startingto economize on things and...

Oh! If you don't get the transfer just right it feels like a hopping thing goes on because the revs needed to take off in general are higher. Due to the lack of inertia from the single mass flywheel and the lack of bite forgiveness from the clutch itself. Hope I havent messed anything up in...

I really understand your post Iggu and I told the guy at the speedshop I want dmf and organic, this racing thing came in and I talked to a guy that had it on a Leon he said the acceleration was electric and not much noise no slipping though etc. Today is the first day I have gotten by without...

I just got my Sachs racing clutch and single mass flywheel installed two days ago... Its a 4 blade clutch thingy and doesn't like to slip at all.... Annoying to drive around town and I guess I'm gonna figure it out without having to concentrate in a little while... But... The clamping power...

Hi! Ive got an s3 8p with grooved ebc discs and yellowstuff, they make a hell of a noise when I decelerate from say 130mph .... like an airplane.... suspect that those are the grooves tof the discs but just wondering if anybody else is experiencing that airplane like decelerating noise? Looking...

rotate often... to avoid this problem never criss cross only front to back on the same side....in other words Never diagonally.... don't ask me why scientifically and so on but thats the main line as far as I have heard from tire shops, magazines...
