Oh brilliant. Thank you.

Its the hard lines that I am looking for.

Audi S3, 2001 (y reg). Thanks!

Perhaps my search technique needs refining. I can still only find references to the flexi lines at the back. maybe I need the part numbers. Can anyone fill on the part numbers for items 2 and 3?

Hi all, hope you all had a Merry Christmas and are looking forward to 2024. I'm looking for some advice on hard brake lines. I am looking to replace the hard lines going to the rear from where the flexi lines connect (items 2 and 3 in the attached picture). Does anyone have any...

I had a similar problem on one of my old S3's. Mine turned out to be a loose wire on the exhaust gas temperature sensor. It also caused the fuel economy to nose dive as it over fuels to help cool the gas temp. Not all S3's have this sensor though, only AMK and BAM I believe. Other...

I dont tend to post much but here are some recent pictures of mine freshly MOT'd and out of storage for the summer.

Thank you for the advice. I'll do a scan this week and I'll keep an eye on the speedo to see if that plays up too.

Not that I've noticed no. Just the fuel gauge intermittently wandering around.

The other day my fuel gauge started to react as if there was no damping applied to keep the signal steady. The level goes up and down when accelerating, braking and going round corners. It has done this a couple of times before returning to normal. Other symptoms are the instantaneous MPG...

Hi boys and girls. I have been trying to track down a misfire on cylinder 2 for the last 3 months. After exhausting the easy bits I decided to take it to bits and prey it was on the head gasket. Have found some cracks which seems a common issue. Im obviously going to take it to a specialist...

Do you still have the originals wheels and others parts? Engine covers, caps etc?

Does anybody happen to know the torque setting for the rear control arms to hub bushes please?

Thanks for that link. I was wondering if i could repair the sensor electronics or not (i do dabble in electronics). I will definately have a look at it as the fault still appears every now and then. I'm still suspicious as to why i do not get a logged DTC fault though. I can see the lambda...

For those interested, i have traced this back to a faulty/bad connection on the EGT sensor.

Just to add to this i have already replaced the mechanical thermostat (as temperature would drop) and i also changed the ECT sensor to the 'green' one just in case.

Hello S3 wizards. I am an avid reader of this forum and use it quite a bit for ideas/fault finding etc. I try not to ask to many questions as the answers can usually be found with a bit of patience...however, some opinion on this would be helpful. Car is a stage 1 mapped 2003 S3 8L. The...

I have done plenty of thermostats so i am offended with the right way round comments.......Oh wait a minute. Egg on my face. Took it apart today a noticed straight away....**** thats it back to front. Why the f8ck would i do that. I put it down to tiredness and the freezing cold weather...

the thermostat i took out was seized open. i couldnt budge it. I let the car get up to temp with the tank cap off. Surly with a car like this that is enough? Im going to change again tomorrow and test the one thats in there now and test a new one im picking up before changing. then I'll...

Just to re-inforce the water pump is working, with the old thermostat the temp gauge rarely budged off the 60 degrees mark unless at a stand still.
