Hi all, Firstly my headlights are pointing about 10feet in front of my car and I therefore can't see anything at night time. Through searching I note this can be adjusted via vagcom, but as I don't have it, is there anyother way of fixing the issue. Secondly, my S3 (BAM) has developed a...

I've come from a Clio trophy (only 500 built with trick 2400 quid dampers as standard) and it really is a weapon. Not as quick as the s3 on the straights, but show it a corner and there really wouldn't be much that could keep up. When the trophy was launched in 2005, they test drove it against...

I've just come from a clio 182 Trophy to my stage 1 S3. It is such a different car to drive and whilst I enjoy the refinement, I don't think I'm quite old enough (29) for one yet. However, I have got a mint 205 gti with a 306 gti6 engine being slotted in, so that should keep me happy for the...

The plug will be replaced, and the fuel filter doensn't need to be changed every year. I also run an aftermarket panel filter so no issues there. 100 quid for someone else to do the work isn't bad really, as I'll get any of the expensive work they highlight done elsewhere.

Thanks for the replys. So other than an oil/filter change and scan on Vagcom, what exactly would a normal service entail if provided by a specialist? I can't really see any dirrerence in what Auid are providing over a specialist. I would be very surprised if you could even buy the oil for...

Hi all, My S3 is 400 miles off needing it's next service, so I've been quoted 180 quid for a normal service, and 230 for a long life. This is from two independant VAG specialists, so after asking what they do for the servicing, I was surprised to hear they simply do an oil and filter change...

after driving it for 3 hours on the motoway yesterday, I noticed that it is actually quicker on part throttle. This means that as you back off from full throttle, you pass the "part throttle" stage where I have the most power. Is this the same problem a lot of you seem to have?

it seems a lot more noticable in higher gears if that helps.

Hi all, Someone else had had this problem recently, but I can't for the life of me find the post. Basically, if I'm putting my boot down, as I ease off the accelarator, the car feels like it has even more power and accelarates even harder until the peddal is released that little bit further...

Sorry, I meant ESP light! I unplugged my maf and took it for a spin as I wanted to check whether that was the cause of the slight boost delay I get. It came on when I unplugged it and stayed on after I turned the engine on and off again, however, It wasn't showing this morning and it's not down...

Hi all, I've just started up the s3 and the asp light came on. I tried to turn it off and restart the car, but no joy. Does anyone know what causes this and how to solve it? Cheers Graham

Thanks guys, but is there any way of checking if the maf is faulty? If it's knackered, should I buy from Audi or are GSF ok?

Hi all, I've had my s3 (stage 1 mapped with a forge 007p fitted) for about a month now, but this is my first turbo'd car so am not sure if this is normal or not. Basically, if if i go from 2nd to 3rd, or 3rd to 4th etc (whilst giving it some), once I have engaged the next gear and planted my...

That's all good and well, but this is the reason they can sell cheap cars tha can show a thing or to to cars costing twice the price.

If your buying a quick clio, then it' not all about straight line speed. I have just come from a Clio Trophy, and my stage 1 mapped S3 is quicker but around country lanes or track, then the trophy is unstoppable! The 200 is just a newer version of the trophy and just as quick, just a little more...

interested in replacing mine at the moment. Would I need the green or yellow spring for a stage 1 map?

Seems a bit expensive to me, although you can always add 750-1000 more if buying from a dealer. I bought my first s3 2 weeks ago. 2002 Dolphin grey, 82k, fsh (cambelt etc), stage 1 mapped, bose 6 cd changer, parking sensors, black heated leather. Pretty much everything bar satnav. All for...

If you are mapping a standard car, then there is not a chance in hell you could get that sort of an increase. Well, not a reliable increase anyway. Not saying they are bad, as I think every tuner exaggerates their figures to a degree! Will they be live mapping it or just flashing?

I have only had my S3 for a less than a week, and previous cars have always been french hot hatches and non turbo, so go easy if I misunderstand a few things but..... Isn't the purpose of an uprating to a 007p to handle more boost that a remap will produce. I thought the OE recirc valves...
