    elsawin help

    Hi, I had a similar problem with Elsawin when trying to access information on a VW polo for my mate. It said that I could not access the data for that vehicle. I ended up re-installing Elsawin & it works perfectly now giving me access to both Audi & VW information.

    rear bush replacement

    Hi, I,ve not done replaced the rear wishbone bushes but I did replace the rear inner tie-bar bushes to Powerflex ones. The only real annoying bit was that you had to remove rear subframe bolts to remove the top tie-bar bolts.

    turbo intake pipe ?

    Hi, I've got the same spec of car (APY engine with ESP). I changed this hose about 4 months ago from on OEM to a Samco one. It isnt that bad a job changing it apart for the stupid hose clips that Audi use. I've used Jubilee clips instead. You will also need a 1/4 drive ratchet to tighten the...

    anyone changed an s3 subframe?

    The creaking & banging could be the front anti-roll bar & bushes. My car used to creak a lot until I renewed the anti-roll bar & bushes. To change the anti-roll bar it is necessary to lower the subframe. Changing the front sub-frame shouldn't be too difficult as long as you have access to a pit...

    Weirdest noise ever

    Audi will only fit standard bushes. Your problem could also be the ARB tself. There was a bonded sleeve on my front ARB where the bushes are located and this sleeve had split due to corrosion. I ended up changing the ARB & bushes. As also mentioned before it could also be any one of your lower...

    Front ARB - question for people that have had them replaced.

    I had a similar problem and when I got round to changing the front ARB bushes I found that one of the sleeves on the ARB had split. I have now ended up changing the front & rear ARB's & bushes as the rear had the same problem. What a difference it made. The steering is now back to normal and...
