In the last few weeks/months I've noticed that the bite point on the clutch is very low; almost on the floor. Now (today) the clutch pedal doesn't want to return back up and doesn't appear to release the clutch as I have to wrestle it in and out of gear I haven't had any clutch slip so I think...

Long time since I was last here; still have the car The bonnet won't close on my S3 8L The bonnet release mechanism is fine (not stuck open), and I can lock the catch using a screw driver with some force; so essentially I get the impression the lock is fine it's just that the bonnet isn't...

I've seen this mentioned a few times, the door catch doesn't catch which results in the door bouncing of the striker when it's closed. I've checked with VW/Audi and they no longer stock the item (8L2837016B) I was told to look for 'Audi Tradition' and found this...

Hi Damian, Ages ago I bought this shock and spring combo from you (~2010 i think). I have done 110k since then, the front shocks have been replaced once (so they've done ~55K) but all the other components have done 110k I am looking at replacing all the shocks because they're knackered...

My boss just came in from the car park having found this sitting behind my car, anything important? Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

My car feels flat most of the time; where there should be a lump of torque there just isn't. It seems to idle a little lumpy (recent pressure test showed no leaks) and it sounds as if the engine is strained when i accelerate and particularly on overrun after having just accelerated hard very...

My car is lowered 1" and I have replaced the upper tie arms with adjustable tie arms to correct the camber after lowering (2010) However, I have always had problems getting the car aligned - when the rear camber is bought into spec the rear toe angle is out of spec (toeing in). I have heard...

Unmapped S3 8L AMK with AHFabs FMIC Fuel Trims (0%, 3-4%) My car has felt a little flat for ages to be honest. Have tried to track it down and have ended up changing things out for new genuine items but my love for the car is fading. If I blip the throttle at idle it feels like the engine...

I understand that the after run coolant pump is supposed to run whenever the engine is switched off regardless of coolant temp. However, my pump doesn't always run when i switch the engine off. And for vehicles with air conditioning the pump is controlled by the Fan Control Module rather than a...

Many a year ago i had some LCR brembo's powder coated by the local monkeys who didn't bother bunging up the brake line in hole and when i pointed it out to them one of them picked up a bolt and wound it into the threaded hole in an attempt to clean it out; obviously he cross threaded it. At the...

seeing auto parts databases on-line from several different sources but all seem to share the same background database. How easy is it to access this database and could audi-sport.net have their own parts database which could then be tied to the member base so people could comment on fitment of...

TLDR; I have cut the high voltage HID cabling on my standard ballasts after being misinformed that the ballast was broken. Can I splice this cable back together or is it a bit dodgy...

Hi, Do you know where is best to get a replacement ballast for my headlight? Can you supply them? Are there any worthwhile upgrades I could do (35W to 55W?) Cheers Alex

After being reassured over the Sachs SRE paddle plate clutch with the standard cover plate giving an OEM feel I ended up having it fitted; I'm currently on standard 210bhp power levels but I do have plans in the future so I thought I'd lay the foundations for it with a clutch upgrade as it was...

Hi, The passenger side headlight on my S3 8L (facelift) has moisture inside of it and I think the seal must have been breached? Is this the likely cause of moisture in the headlight or could it be getting in from the back? I was thinking of heating it up to soften the adhesive enough to split...

Hi, My flywheel has done 140k miles and I was trying to total up the cost of a gearbox refurbish/replacement with clutch and flywheel So I go onto ECP and find that they list two flywheels compatible with my car, both apparently from LUK...

Hi, I have heard that there is a graphite coating to the cylinder walls to help with friction reduction Is it necessary/possible to have this coating reapplied following a cylinder rebore/rehone? What would the consequences be of not reapplying the coating? Would the bore suffer excessive...
