UPDATE: Ok guys I had the tensioner replaced and the noise is totally gone. Happy Days:rockwoot: Also I used to have a vibration noise at low revs which I taught was the exhaust heat shield but its now gone since the tensioner was changed so it obviously wasnt the heat shield. Tnx to all the...

Got my tensioner from the states today :w00t: Cant wait for my car to be noise free :lmfao:

My tyres are Pirelli P6000 and I have read some reviews that they are shocking in the wet. I am still going to get the rear suspension checked though just incase.

Haha ya it must be the tyres. I mean yesterday I was doing proper nose to the roundabout drifts lol I will be honest it was fun but something that could catch the wife out if she was driving it.

Hey lads I have noticed my S3 is very tail happy when going round sharp bends or roundabouts. Today on the way home from work I was going round a big roundabout I wasnt driving the car hard but as the weight was pushing to the left hand side of the car the backend started stepping out. So the...

Can you clean your maf or ya as well getting a new one?

Cool tnx I will check it. Its one think after a ****** nother with this car lol Any idea of the price of a maf?

Hey guys I have noticed lately that when I start my S3 its kinda jerky in low revs anyone else get this issue. I am thinking it maybe the maf. What price are mafs?

Me thinks I need to do this :rockwoot:

Tnx Matt. I just had the sump dropped and the pick up cleaned the guy doing it said it wasnt overly bad. What else could cause the tensioner to fail?

Ok guys I have ordered the cam tensioner and rocker cover gasket kit. The guy doign the job mentioned maybe fitting a new chain while I am at it as there not too pricey. What do ya reckon?

I love the look of these lm reps but they are 18x9" are these too wide? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/18-BBS-LM-STYE-ALLOY-WHEELS-AUDI-VW-GOLF-mk4-5x100-/330445878592?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item4cf01bf540

I would give it a go myself if I had a garage but sadly I dont. The guy who serviced my car will do it for me shouldnt cost me too much this way compared to buying from Audi direct.

I am going to buy the part from the states from the link a S3 Nattie posted above its only 213 dollars and its the exact same part. Also the noise of mine comes across much louder in the video it doesnt actually sound that loud really but I Am getting it sorted anyway.

Ok guys got the car serviced today and the oil pick up cleaned out. The mechanic told me the pick up wasnt even bad. Anyway the noise is still there so I am gonna order a new cam tensioner and have it fitted.

I 3rd that get them up :icon_thumright:

When ya say your isnt as loud have you listened to it with the bonnet up as mine doesnt sound as loud when the bonnet is closed.

Cool tnx lads. What oil you guys using?

Sorry lads I am getting the sump dropped and oil pick up cleaned. So getting oil done and plugs and air filter. Should I do the pollin filter as well. The car is at 98,000 miles now?
