    Rear wishbone (console) bush upgrade...TT...S3??? Please help

    Many thanks for the reply Adam, however I am ideally trying to keep the costs down...thus, why I was asking about pushing new bushes into the 'old' frames. A bit more digging seems to suggest that Powerflex bushes would work (but there has not been any definitive reviews) at a cost of about £40...

    Hi all, I am looking at lowering a 2004 (8p) A3 2.0TDi 140 Sport. However I have a few questions... Firstly Is there a limit that I can drop the car before I encounter issues (such as the front ARB rubbing/banging)? The car is currently on 95k miles, so I am going to be changing the shock...

    Where are the glow plugs? (A3 2.0TDi)

    Mine threw up the similar fault...but the car sometimes does not like to be started again when warm, but is fine from cold. So I thought the best bet would be to switch the plugs around and see if the fault code changes (especially as the car is on 90k+ miles)? The car did throw up an engine...
