    Slotted abs disk

    My sister's A3 has just had 2 new front wheel bearings done at a garage run by monkeys. They have warped the ABS disk which means the light is on. Where can I buy new ones and how much are they? if its Audi only part, gonna get the garage to stump up for the cost.

    2.0 TFSI what turbo?

    Just been looking at a 2.0 TFSI for next year when I have a few grand to put down on a car. All I can find is that they are K03, the same turbo on my current AGU?! It must be uprated somehow? Or would my spare K03s I have bolt on and give it more power?

    Tell me about quattro's

    As i've said in the past, my A3 was a short term replacement for my old 200sx. However, its really grown on me, I've bought some bits to put on it, but I'm refraining. Because its FWD, i dont see the point in ~230bhp when I can't even get it to the ground. So im thinking, upgrade it for a 1.8...

    how much should a thermostat open?

    Talking to a friend of mine, he told me the thermostat should be opening all the way, but the one I put in only opens a bit. The old one I took out opened a lot more, but the water temp wouldn't really get over 60. Now it gets to 90 and stays there, so what's right?

    Help please - aux belt tensioner

    I need some help, trying to refit my alternator. I can't get the tensioner into place. Its just too strong to move by hand. Is it broken or some sort of technique too it? edit: 1.8t agu.

    Alternator troubles

    When I did the thermostat the other day, the wire off the alternator was in the way, so I figured, why not remove it. As I undid the nut, it got stuck on the end and tried to take the stud with it. Obviously this is the positive feed to the battery, which means its not charging. Can I take...

    Ko3s differences

    I've been trying to source a Ko3s, but I find there seems to be loads of different ones, some 6, 7 or 8 blade? At least the listings say so, is there a reference guide to them?

    Swapping ECU on an AGU

    I had my ECU mapped by someone local, but the map is tame. He took it out and bench flashed it for me. I want someone like R-Tech to sort it for me, but I was thinking id be better off replacing the ECU for an untouched one? The guy put in a socket to change the chips easier, but I don't know...

    How fast is a 200bhp A3?

    I've been debating modding the car lately. I bought it as a hack, then thought "why not mod it?". Recently I can't stop thinking about my old 200sx, and keep thinking "yeah it was fast and fun, i'll get another". But then im looking at 3k+ for a nice 200, then 2k on mods before im at a fun...

    I got super bored, as i've been off work for 2 weeks. Had a hunt through all my car parts and crap, came up with this: Not the prettiest thing in the world, but it works.

    T25/28 manifold

    Now as said in another thread, I want to go with a cheap T25 or a T28. On my old 200 the stock T28 could put out about 300bhp (albeit more displacement) but I figure it has to be more then my KO3 :). I've been reading up on the manifolds and there seems to be some reports of turbo location...

    Self remapping options

    I'm moving into my own house next month with a garage, so I'm turning the A3 into something far more performance orientated. I want to put a T28 or possibly a T25g on it using one of them ebay manifolds for a cheap setup before getting something custom and awesome. I'll be looking at remapping...

    Revs dropping and cutting out

    The battery ran flat the other day (my fault). Ever since the revs bounce about when returning to idle. For example, if driving along, i'll dip the clutch, the revs will drop to 500 or so then bounce back up to like 1100 then down again and settle. I'm thinking the battery may be damaged off...
