My HPFP needs replacing, does anyone recommend any of the brands below? Long list and range of prices not helping. I'm guessing Febi Bilstein/Magneti Marelli might be the OEM's?
Ysparts £188
Vika £196
Esen £198
Ridex £202
Bugiad £204
Topran £211
Hitachi £222
Metzger £230
Stark £233
Era £237...
That' what I've been thinking since I have none of the options suggested in the video. The two codes below maybe suggest a loose connection, I'll check engine bay/fuse box now
001672 - ECM Power Relay Load Circuit
P0688 - 002 - Open Circuit - Intermittent
005634 - Power Supply...
I first noticed I have the fault code below not long after changing the car battery (I did not check before changing the battery). I seen a few threads/vids suggesting the battery might need coded following being changed. I ran through the video below and I'm now suspecting the battery doesn't...
Got a snapped spring up front so decided to take the plunge and get a Bilstein B12 Pro kit, my car is an 08 plate with 70K on the clock. Is there anything else people know would be good to change while the suspension is off?
Seen plenty mentions of front top mounts and bearings and also rear...
Has anyone found FSD's for an 8P (57 plate, 08). I have a snapped front spring and car is on 70K so thought it might be an idea to put FSD's with Eibach springs. I've went through a lot of website's and can't find any that list FSD's for S3.

For the benefit of others with an 8P S3 that end up finding this thread, the arrow in the pic below points to the V158. If you have VAGCOM you can run tests on it and if it doesn't move then you know its' broken/power issue. Got a replacement off ebay for £10. If it fails again I'm going to look...
Hi does anyone know what the clip in the pic is called or who sells them online? I couldn't find one ebay or another site that sells loads of clips like this.
I do have an 8P S3. When I first posted hadn't noticed this was an A4 thread. But was hoping it would be the same if not similar. Was ******* down today when I had a go at removing. Hopefully get a dry spell tomorrow and take another look at it.
Hi, I'm trying to get to my V158. I'm a bit stuck at the moment. See pics as to where I am at now. Can anyone advise what I need to do next? Any more bits needs removing? Or do I just need to release the white clip. I'm not sure where it's located?
My car wasn't heating up to temperature even on long journeys, presume thermostat was jammed open so the garage replaced the thermostat and temperature sensor. Now however if I switch the climate control to auto and set both the temps to 18 degrees, all the LHS and centre LHS vents blow hot and...
