will do, my last car was a passat that was really comfy and thought go smaller as its only me in the car 90% of the time, egg on face :s

yeah was fearing that was the case, my mate has an a4 sline 2.5 tdi with awesome seats, hes offered for me to take that for a few days mwa ha ha ha ha

he he that sounds much better, those bolt on ones which rattle away and you can see the original tiny exhaust inside it eeesh

I love the a3 but i think its killing me, no matter how ive adjusted the seat doesnt do me good, driving 90 mile round trip daily, the car actually loves the drive, its a really great cruiser. im 6'4 and find that i cant see traffic lights so hunch over a fair bit or my heads in the roof :(

:scared2: i guess they have there purpose *cough* with out trying to back peddle here as long as its not sticking right out that you can see its a bolt on job :s i have visions of 1 liter fiestas with the whole thing sticking out well beyond their bumpers with the attachments in plain sight

anthing that tries to fool over people into thinking the car is something it isnt: replica s3 on a 140 tdi? actually what has to be worse is a exhaust trim just screwed on making it 'look' like a big bore but just rattles away

Hey All Anyone else with an a3 suffering bad backs? I have had bouts of issues with my lower back. But ever since driving the A3 ive had pain constantly. Ive got the se cloth interior so no thrills and no lumbar adjustment Any one else dealt with this before?

well, the metal couplings are 'meant' to be designed better. I have heard many good things about people using them. oh an just got an email back from forge saying that its now too late, so will contact me on monday about the hoses, so wont even get them on monday! So far im really not...

been trying to order some for my 140 see my thread http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/new-a3-s3-sportback-8p-chassis/128806-boost-issues-tdi-140-bkd.html there is a 5 week wait on blue and black hoses they only have red, which should arrive monday, once i get confirmation of it... they seem to be very...

well update... hoses coming loose again, its driving like a dog :( last friday ordered myself some forge hoses. nothing arrived yet. chased em and oh wont get them for 5 weeks!! would of been nice of them to actually tell me that before i submit an order! they have red ones, but wont arrive till...

the innotech stuff WILL free up your vanes, NHN is correct though, it is only a temporary solution, the problem WILL come back. Its all down to cost, if you plan to remove the turbo, this is the best solution you do have to replace variety of parts, seals, banjo unions... i remember calling VW...

sticky vanes are from VNT turbos, all that essentially means is there is a lever which is pulled through vacuum hose which varies the amount of boost and different loads, it does this by changing the 'shape' of the internals of the turbo, creating more/less flow. if you google vnt turbo there is...

sounds like either sticky vanes, or leak in boost hoses, firstly what engine? petrol or diesel? plus maybe engine code too may help people here diagnose

only had the car for a few months, according to history all work was done by audi. NHN do you have the forge pipes fitted? or stock ic and stock piping? managed to get the grill where the fog light goes to see the top of the housing, the clip normally seats in behind a plastic lug which should...

my point isnt to achieve any performance gains (at the moment). It is to put an IC on there that is highly unlikely to give me boost issues in the future. I could replace with an identical one in there, but how long before the orings go on it again and require replacing. If i have to take it all...

ive looked at replacing the hoses, but the forge hoses still require clipping in. The plastic on my ic is worn/broken in such a way that even with no pipe in there, the clip wont seat securely.

Ive got a leak at the intercooler, boost pipes at the IC, replaced orings, but theres still a leak, the plastic mount is worn and the clip wont seat properly. Started looking at replacing the intercooler, forge: no good as it piggy backs on the faulty original. THS seems like a good direct...

yes yes very good question, had a hid kit in the garage from my last car, dared not fit it for fear of the wiper motor

i have a vagcom and ran the diagnostics, its never pulled a code. What im concerned with is the poor design of the intercooler seal, even with new orings its minimised the boost leak but its still there. What have other people done to theirs to seal this problematic area. The forge twintercooler...
