I've got an issue with the brakes in general. No fault codes nothing. The brakes are awful to the point if I start to boot it to over take then need to slow down and pull back in they are very dangerous and I could end up going into the back of someone. Of course I dont drive like a tool it's...

Yeah cheers mate. I spent a while last night looking over similar posts. But the issues they've had I've checked out and all seems okay but perhaos I'm missing something. In my mind the brake should always cut the throttle unless the remap has this feature removed for heel tow reasons. That in...

Had vagcom on the s3 yesterday and nothing really came up to pin point the issue. I'm about to take another scan I've checked the vac line and replaced the one way valve. No change The main concern I have is if I'm driving along at any speed and put the brake on hard if I keep it down and...

Yeah I'm not really a fan. I've already welded it up once! Engines good for the HP Wanting a cheap 400+ set up

Hi all. As above got a v2 mani fitted at the moment by previous owner. Is there anything out there better than the MD421 turbo ? Wanting 400hp + Thanks

Right so nothing much from vagcom, which was my reasoning for suspecting fuel pressure / starvation. After a long day trying to rule things out, I removed the scuttle panel as the ecu loom was exposed and thought it may of got wet. Fitted a custom panel in to cover it and dried out the...

Hmmm nothing obvious last night I'll try again in half hour

Where to start!. Bought a right bodge job off someone a few weeks back. Been over the whole car bit by bit repairing his bodgery.! Backstory. On the day of purchase I drove the car 3 hours home and it broke down 3 times on me.!! Grr. I would leave it half hour and try again and it would start...

Your Mk1 looks epic by the way!

Hi Mate, Yeah of course, I've started a facebook group for this as well so there will be a mix of cars now ;-). Cheers

Epic response VAG-Slag , I like your enthusiasm!! :-D. Any suggestions welcome and a longer trip would definitely be fun!. As you say we could start small and make something more of it. I've been considering a small fee per head for organising food, hotels, even perhaps t-shirts or stickers...

Cheers for you input tomjol, I will take note!. I'll have a good look, So far there are a number of nice roads around wales, when I went to cheddar gorge there were also some nice roads there!. I'll pencil your name down ;-) Cheers,

Hi all, In addition to my earlier post about S3 owners in the bucks / Milton Keynes areas I have been considering organising a road trip. I am in the process of planning a route after a recent holiday to Wales (some roads there are brilliant!), there would be planned stops on the way for food /...

Hi all, Seen as no one has really replied on the events section when I posted on there, I just wondered who lives in my general area and owns and S3 8L !?. Would be cool to get a monthly meet going with people near by, When my S3 is back on the road of course.... Thanks, Jon.

Thanks for your responses guys, Bill, I was thinking more along the lines of this being a better option for saving money, Thinking it was a swap out and in jobby. Saving me money on manifolds, custom oil lines and downpipes etc. But it seems from whats been said that it still requires a new...
