Thanks Tuffty, I haven't been on the forums for a while and didn't notice it there. I had a look and of course the part number I need is missing from the list! It just says "see diagram" but there is nothing listed on the diagram.

Hi guys just found out both my s3 front hub carriers are cracked where the hole is for the the tie rod bolt! I need replacements urgently, and being in Australia means the parts are very hard to get. I did manage to track down a 1999 8N TT roadster, although it's unclear if it's a quattro or...

Sounds pretty wicked, although I can just see 10 years down the track, all of these fancy bits and pieces being a tuners nightmare. dealership: "oh your balancer shafts need replacing? No worries, we have them in stock for 1200 euro. Each." Haha. In all honesty though sounds pretty sweet.

So I've just ordered an AP shocks and springs combo from DPM, and want to know what else I should change while I have it all out such as bumpstops/spring seats/ rear top mounts etc (basically stuff I haven't thought of that is worthwhile changing) bearing in mind the 30/20mm drop that will...

Hi Sam, I used to be in Qld, but I'm in Sydney these days. I've already got the gruvenparts arms installed and they made a massive Improvement to the handling and yeah I have the poly bush ones. I'd imagine the rose joints would be very harsh?

Delete = computer function associated with files or text. remove = taking your sunroof out of your car. just saying. Anywho I'd get some aluminium speed tape and just tape it up. cheap + hecktic chrome racer-boy look effect. 2 birds 1 stone.

Hi there. I had a sagging roof lining on my BAM S3 and elected to remove it myself to save a ****eload of cash and just drop it to a upholsterer and then reinstall it. I did it the hard way but found some informative info online. Mine also had a sunroof which actually comes out first to get the...

Right so after shopping around, I managed to settle on an AP shocks and springs kit from DPM. see how we go.

Best read in ages!!! :jump:

Hi folks, I'm about to sort the suspension in my 02 Bam s3, and after spending hours on the phone and Internet have come up with no local solutions. I'm in Australia - and have decided it will be easiest to purchase my equipment abroad. I have recently learned that 8n tt shocks and springs...

I'm literally in the exact same boat. Was thinking of a set of Boge/Sachs Oem shocks with a new set of factory height springs. The STR.T shocks look like great value, but I'm really after a factory quality ride. Sucks being all the way in Australia as shipping for these sorts of items is...

Hi folks, Got an issue with my 02 Bam s3, being a pronounced "squeal" when the engine is at low revs under load. It only persists for a second or two taking off from first gear, when the engine bogs down. I have noticed it gets much louder and lasts longer when at full lock in...

Hi everyone :) Iv'e got this annoying issue (do they ever stop?) at very low revs, when clutch is taking up I get a little squeal, it's only momentary and goes away. Seems more pronunced when car is warmer, but having said that it is generally intermittent. Clutch is 45k Kms old, feels fine and...

yeah I know, that is the issue. with a 15mm adapter (thinnest available) it would leave them with a +5 offset so that is a fair bit more than standard. Stretched tyres and guards rolled perhaps? :think:

Hi Guys, Just curious to know if anyone is actually running a genuine set of B5 Rs4's on their S3...? I'm in the position to pick up a mint set for a bargain and think they look ridiculously good and in Australia they are rare as hens teeth. I know they are 5x112 but was thinking...

Cheers, yeah I haven't received any info if they've actually been sent yet... just sick of the rear end jumping all over the damn road.

How long did the Gruevenparts arms take to get to Aus? I ordered mine a week ago.

Great read this. Glad to see after all the work its running. :sm4:

My dipstick holders arrived today, and I thought I better put a new one on to get it all sealed up again. These cost me about $20 Aud delivered from the USA so I thought that was a sweet deal. I also, after having a think about it - modified the holder to prevent any more future breakages. I cut...

Now I feel really bad, Bill. I'm new to this forum and Audi ownership. I live in Australia and when my factory TIP fell to pieces I bought a creations one. I didn't think it was cheap and thought they were a reputable brand...:angrymod: Ah well sorry old chap. If mine ****s itself I'll get one...
