Hi All Just had our S3 back from the body shop after having the front bumper off, sprayed and refitted. The headlights sit a little proud of the bumper at the bottom Is this normal?

I've seen reports on other forums of issues with the automatic stop / start. Engine stops as expected, starts as expected but then when you try and accelerate you get an error on the DIS and you can't pull away. Car appears to be stuck in Neutral, even though in D. Knock it into N and back to...

Picking up an SQ5 in the week, I'm pretty sure it's one of the first MY15 models (it's June 2014, but has no space saver and the chrome strips on the door handles). Good spec, everything I'd order (and some I wouldn't), apart from the reversing camera or "Audi Parking System Plus" as its...

Anyone know how easy it is to replace the small triangular bit of trim on the rear edge of the read door?

Our '59 S4 S-Tronic has recently started to show signs of its age. We've owned it from knew and it's only done 32k and always been main dealer serviced on schedule. The gearbox has started to jerk a little when you pull away, feels ok changing gears at speed but there is a definite pause-clunk...

Friend of mine just bought a 61 plate VW Passat but it only came with one key (bladeless type, well has a hidden blade for emergency use) and he would like a spare. Knowing that I was able to code a new key for my own car sometime ago (I have VCDS / Vag Tacho etc) he asked me if I could code a...

I know there is a retrofit sub-forum, but that covers all models and I wanted to know if anyone had retrofitted DAB to their B8 with the MMi 3G (i think ours is the High version, has a build in HDD etc.)? Last time I checked it wasn't a common modification, but as things move on I was hoping...

My wife managed to lose her key (well in fairness I think our 1 year old through her keys in the recycling bin and today was recycling day). I have successfully coded keys to my Mk1 TT before (old flip style keys), but never looked into it for the new models with the slot in style key. Is this...

Am selling my S3, as I want a V6 or V8 again. Car is currently stage 2+ and I had no luck trying to sell it as it is, even though it was priced the same as a standard S3 with same spec/age/mileage. So it is going in to AmD next week to be taken back from stage 2+ to stage 1, have a service...

Car has been set up for 2+, with revo software. Been getting a too rich when idle error (came on, on the way home from garage). Going back to have it checked out, but some searching showed someone had a similar issue that was resolved with new plugs. Was wondering what plugs people would...

Was booked in today for a Haldex Oil & Filter change on my '58 S3 (Facelift Sportback). Apparently my car has the Gen 3 Haldex system, which is sealed for life and so there are no parts listed for Oil or Filter based on my VIN number. According to my service book, an Audi dealer did an oil...

Have just had the AmD intake fitted and, for me, it is a little too loud. I don't know how it compares to other open filter intake systems in terms of performance or sound, but compared to stock it is loud. Have heard the VWR system is a lot quieter, which is understandable as it is a closed...

Its taken a while but I have managed to source some second hand parts to go stage 2+ on a budget. Picked up a full turbo back, resonated, milltek for a sportback (needs a new lambda probe boss) and a full HPFP pump (OEM pump with KMD internals installed) through the forum classifieds. Getting...

Morning, have purchased a second hand milltek from these very forums and am getting it fitted locally by the garage restoring my VW Camper. Its a turbo back system, and so he advised purchasing a replacement gasket (turbo/exhaust) - anyone know the part number of the gasket, I assume an OEM...

Hi Managed to pick up a full TB Milltek in the classifieds, so now stepping up the search for HPFP to go stage 2+ Am considering the route of buying a second pump (new or used) and having that modified, then when it comes time to do the work the car will be off the road slightly less time +...

A/C doesn't work! Had gas checked and it is OK. Ran a VCDS scan and got the below. Should note that I had a similar issue in June 2011, fixed under warranty - I don't know the details (didn't run a scan that time) but they said it was a wire that needed replacing. Annoyed as the car had...

Recently bought an S3 with stage 1 REVO, so running ~300 bhp. Plan to go to stage 2+ with full milltek, AmD intake and autotech HPFP which is going to cost £2000+ (hoping to pick up an exhaust second hand!). It's an S-Tronic so clutch should be OK, but may also plump for the £300 box remap...

I full accept that the ride will be worse on 19s with a 235/35/19 tyre than a 225/40/18 due to the lower profile. What I'm trying to understand is why people also report that handling 'is ruined' on 19s? I would have thought there were a number of reasons why a move to 19s should have improved...

My rear discs have a major lip on them, so likely to need replacing soon (just passes MoT so can't be that bad!). Any recommendations for rear pads and discs for a 58 sportback S3?
