    2002 s3 cold start - changed cts, got a couple of codes, advice please!

    Hi guys and gals, Last few weeks I've been getting a nasty cold start, very lumpy and up and down the revs. Also, with a bit of lumpiness until it reaches full temp. Initial thought was cts so just changed that now. Still slightly lumpy after changing it. Stuck in code reader and got 16705...

    Anyone have experience of Goodyear eagle f1 GSD3's uneven tyre wear noise s3?

    Hi all, Update as promised. 4 wheel laser alignment done - apparently can only adjust the fronts, so had those done, rear left has slightly too much camber, but apparently can't adjust - don't know if anyone knows about this and if that really is the case? The adjustments made definitely...

    Anyone have experience of Goodyear eagle f1 GSD3's uneven tyre wear noise s3?

    Thanks all, I have googled, the GSD3's definitely do seem to have an issue particularly on VAG cars, the new asymmetrical ones seem to be miles better but ill be moving onto something else I think! I called a guy at a reputable tyre centre with hunter technology and he said the chassis on the 99...

    Anyone have experience of Goodyear eagle f1 GSD3's uneven tyre wear noise s3?

    Thanks ruffrida, interesting! Thanks also aragorn, do agree with you will get my alignment etc checked out.

    Anyone have experience of Goodyear eagle f1 GSD3's uneven tyre wear noise s3?

    Thanks all, colly, is yours worse when you turn, mine seems worse on straight which seems more tyre related. Aragorn, are you talking about all asymmetrics? Mine are the gsd3's, the older rotational ones which I've read can wear funny and create these noises.

    Anyone have experience of Goodyear eagle f1 GSD3's uneven tyre wear noise s3?

    Hi all, Getting a rumble noise, rotational kind of wump wump wump noticable on smooth surfaces and more noticable at lower speed, seems to disappear more at high speed. When i bought the car it had these tyres on and still does. Plenty of tread left. Ive read on other forums that these...

    Been working on the paint, in the three months ive had it, it's had a t-cut, a colour restore wax, and 6 carnauba waxes... It's getting there! Only work so far has been basic, ive replaced discs and pads, arb drops, Cambelt, haldex service and a couple of gaskets, running like a dream! Next up...

    Yeah, you need to to take the discs off. Plus, often after a while there's a build up of rust on the inner parts of the carriers so to get a good fit with the new pads it's a good idea to get a wire brush in there to get rid of some of the crud!

    S3 8L Rear Brakes

    Did mine the other weekend too... Brembo pads with standard discs from GSF 60 quid for the lot.. Bit of squeal from the new set up but I'm sure it'll die down. Really easy job, just make sure you've got a right hand thread piston wind back tool and an 8mm hex tool and you'll be done in an hour!

    Annoying noise... I might be overly paranoid!!!

    Oh.. to add as well, got all the wheels off the other day to check for loose bits... couldn't really find any! Everything does feel fine. I do have neuspeed arbs back and front, don't know if that may change things. One thing I did notice is a bit of a gash in one of my tyres. In the middle of...

    Annoying noise... I might be overly paranoid!!!

    Hey guys, Hope everyone's well. Wonder if anyone has had this before. When I'm off the power at speed 60-70mphs, or rolling along in 4th at 30-35mph on a smooth road (rare in England) I get a bit of a burbling/vibrating noise, for want of a better description! As soon as I brake, or get on the...
