    Milltek exhaust 3.2 V6 Purchased! :) Quick question?

    I've got a 3.2 with a cat back Milltek, as far as I am aware there isn't an option for a non res on the 3.2 unlike the S3. You just get the 1 option. Can't say as I've noticed the tips being welded or not, but it sounds nice. Just enough of a burble when parking and not too loud on the motorway!

    Higher Mileage 8P A3 3.2 DSG issues

    My 3.2 is a DSG on about 110k. Still sweet as a nut. Last car was a mk4 R32 and I much prefer the DSG but that's personal opinion. I seem to recall they changed the 'make' of chain but can't remember at what year. Mine's a 2007 (57) so has gen 2 Haldex and newer coilpacks. There's no...

    knocking noise in boot

    Mine makes a noise sometimes, but it's just the weights at the bottom of the strings that hold the parcel shelf when you open the boot. They swing around when the boot is closed. Could be that??

    AP Coilover Peeps

    NCP car parks tend to be very steep as you go up the levels. I have to literally stop and creep up & it just catches. Don't ever come back down at any speed unless you want to leave your bumper behind!! Some of the others are fine as the slopes are more gradual, it's mainly the NCP in the city...

    AP Coilover Peeps

    I've had AP coilovers fitted for over a year now & have been very pleased. I had them fitted to my R32 too. Mine are pretty much all the way down. Have a few issues in multi story car parks & can't straddle speed humps so have to go over them fully with 1 wheel. Handling is great though &...

    Another black grill question

    Cheers for that. Wonder if Audi do one to fit non S3 models? I'll keep on with the search, but it's good to know I can get the FK one.

    Another black grill question

    Thanks, the 2004-2008 one on the website does look like it has different fittings to the post 2008. It seems to have pointy bits in the top corners. Is the finish the same as the OEM grill?

    Another black grill question

    I know that the part number 8P0 853 651 A 3FZ is for a black pre 2008, but my question is will the S3 grill fit my 2007 sport model or is the S3 a different shape/have different fittings. Audi can't help me as they said they can't advise on aftermarket parts. Any help would be appreciated. If...

    Which size tyre works best with coilovers??

    I would go with 215's as my 225's Michelin Pilot Sports catch every now & then. My old 225's (different brand were fine). Mine's lowered about 50-60mm on coilovers.

    The "Rimz" Thread ** Look here before requesting pics of specific wheels**

    I've got BBS Calito splits 8x18 et49 with 225/40/18's. It's pretty low on coilovers but very rarely catches at the back now I've removed the bumper screws. Thinking of getting a set of A8 fat fives for Winter. Does anyone know if the 8.5x18 et45 will make much of a difference or will I need...

    Weitec coilovers finally fitted!!!

    I've just had AP coilovers fitted & have a knocking which I can feel through the pedals. Only at slow speeds and it doesn't matter if you have the wheels on any sort of lock or not. Jacked it up and there's no signs of anything rubbing and I had top mounts and bearings replaced. Might take it...

    Bulbs to replace Halogen DRL

    Bulbs to replace Halogen DRL

    Tried my new resistors today and they started to melt the housing after 2 half hour trips, but no bulb warnings!! I'm going to revert to mirror finished halogen bulbs to be safe lol

    Bulbs to replace Halogen DRL

    Rapid Electronics - Electronic Components > Resistors & Potentiometer Are these a different resistance and less likely to get hot? Look like they'll involve more work as they don't have any wires attached. I might just revert back to the standard bulbs if things start to melt lol. Thanks...

    Bulbs to replace Halogen DRL

    I fitted led drl's with 25w resistors and got errors so have just replaced them for 50w and haven't had any errors yet. They get too hot to touch after about 30 seconds so am concerned about them melting the housing on a long journey. NME - Are the resistors you bought with the indicators...
