    Wanted Piston and Conrod

    I know this is a strange request but does anybody have a spare piston and conrod or possibly a set that they don't want or would be prepared to sell? Maybe somebody who has uprated their internals? Condition is not important as it won't be going in an engine so one that is slightly damaged /...

    A3 8L Radio Reception

    I originally posted this in the A3 section but is probably better here. My parents have a 2001 8L A3 with the Symphony 1 HU and a Dension IceLink on the CD changer port. Recently the radio reception on MW (got it right this time) for Radio 5 is unusable, crackles and breaks up, FM is fine...

    Radio reception

    I'm hoping somebody may be able to point me in the right direction. My parents A3 has the symphony stereo and when listening to AM (Radio 5) the reception is terrable. It crackles and buzzes and breaks up, although it is fine on FM stations. I have checked that the aerial cable is...

    H&R ARB adjustment

    The H&R ARBs have 2 holes on the back bar and 3 holes on the front bar to connect the droplinks too. The question is which holes should I be using? Does the hole closest to the end of the ARB make the bar stiffer or weaker? Here is a picture of the bars on DPM so people know what I'm on...

    Tie Bars: How long without them?

    I know that I will need them once I lower the car, but how long can I live without them before I damage the rear tyres too much? I have gone for the B8's with the H&R springs, the tie bars are on order but won't arrive until sometime in June. I guess the question is do I get the suspension...

    S3's in/around Reading/Newbury

    I'm looking for people who have S3's near Reading / Newbury and have sorted the suspension and would be prepared to take me for a spin. Ideally with the H&R ARB's so that I can make up my mind whether to buy them at the same time as the springs and tie bars. Can anybody help?

    DieselGeek short shift

    Since I got the S3 I felt the distance between gears seemed quite large so went looking for a short shift kit. Now the normal ones are from Neuspeed, ECS etc. I wanted one that would do both front to back and side to side reduction. I was interested in something different that wasn't...

    Replacing Rear ARB on A3

    I'm thinking of replacing the ARBs on my A3, the front one seems fairly straight forward although the subframe may need to be dropped, there are instructions on how to do it in the Haynes manual. The rear ARB on the other hand looks a bit more tricky. The haynes manual says that it can't be...

    Neuspeed FMIC on A3

    Has anybody got the Neuspeed FMIC fitted on their A3? What is the fit like and does any of the bumper or other bits need cutting to get it to fit? One other question does it intrude to were the factory fog lights sit, and do they need to be removed?

    Dash Illumination

    I think I've seen this on here before but can't seem to find it using search. What and how exactly do I need to change with VAG-COM so that the dash needles on my 2001 1.8T are on all the time? Is there anything else I can change easily? TIA

    Rough running

    My A3 (2001 1.8T) has been running a bit rough recently almost like it is misfiring but only occasionly. It also has had a loss of power and the fuel economy has dropped off. I took it down to Audi on Friday and got the DTC's read and was told it needed a new "air mass meter" (cost ~£75...

    Put the new AndyMac sub in the car today, and what a difference!! Took quite a while but didn't follow the instructions properly, the bit about supergluing the nut to the top of your finger so you don't drop it and loose it. Some advice to others follow the instructions then you won't have to...
