Does anyone know which type of bolts are fitted as standard with 17" Avus alloys? I'd take one off to have a look, but they're on so tight I can't budge them and need to send the info to someone I've ordered wheel spacers from. I've been asked to choose which bolts I have from this PDF...

Hello mate, I've just been reading all of your notes on wheel spacers and wondered if you could offer an opinion on my problem. I'm looking to get the widest possible spacers to fit my S3 8l which is sitting on original 17'' Avus wheels and factory springs. I've noticed that you've suggested...

MASSIVE thanks to Sandip who came drove a 50miles round-trip an hour after I posted my problem to come out to me on Sunday night and fixed my problem! The guy is an S3 encyclopedia, and a lovely fella to boot. Big thanks to everyone else who offered help aswell, it did turn out to be a drop of...

I went into my garage to turn over my car after being away for a week, let it run for about 1minute, and burning oil started pumping out from the grille and sides of the bonnet. After further inspection, it's coming from the top-end of the turbo. Does anyone know what this may be, or may...

There was a faint rattle on start-up and on initial acceleration in any gear when I bought my S3 at 76k. I had it's cam-belt and tensioner replaced immediately. The noise didn't stop. Now at 99k, the noise is quite loud and aggrivating. It echoes through underground carparks, and rattles...

Are your shocks new?

So am I right in thinking I'd be asking for 2 x pairs of 40mm hubcentric spacers?

Right, thanks for clearing that up for me mate. So do you think 20mm each side, front and rear is going to see me scrubbing the arches?

More than enough visually?

Haha, is that really mad idea? I see. To be fair, it was a complete estimate by me. I had it in my mind that each wheel being brought forward by 3cm would only achieve a subtle visual change to the stance. So you think 10mm per side would change the look of the car then?

Hello, I wanted to ask if anyone had any experience with wheel spacers on the 8L S3. I want to space the standard 17" Avus alloys outwards until they are as close to level with the top of the wheel-arch. Do you think there's a danger of the tire scrubbing the arch if I fit 60mm spacers...

Hi, sorry for the no doubt repeat question, but.... I've got a 2001 S3, one of my xenon bulbs has blown, Audi want £125 excluding fitting, and I'd rather have brighter than standard bulbs in there. My questions are: a) Could a blown xenon bulb which is visually white/cloudy with it's balast...
