    Number Plate Lights On All The Time?!?

    Hi. Wondering if anyone can help with a bit of a random issue I have with my S3? The rear number plate lights are on all the time. It's drained my battery twice before I realised what was causing it. No other lights are on and the lights are off at the dash. Anyone had this issue ever?!

    Most comfy coilovers

    So with what are probably 11 year old shocks on the S3, Im using it as an excuse to look at replacing the suspension and whilst Im at it, dropping it a bit. However, given its my daily, and the roads in town are freakin awful, I dont want anything too crashy. Im steering towards FK AK Street...

    Anyone played around with a chargecooler?

    Coming from the world of VX220s, Ive had a few dealings with high intake temperatures. The best way to get temps down in those is to use a chargecooler.

    OK to stage 1 remap a tiptronic 20.tfsi?

    I have an '06 A4 2.0tfsi quattro tiptronic. Its a great piece of kit! Having got an 8L S3 thats been stage 1 remapped though, and knowing how much more driveable it was after, Im looking at doing the same to the A4. I take it that the tiptronic 'box will be ok with a few more ponies?

    S3 losing boost

    So im pretty sure my S3 is losing boost, it's nowhere near as nippy as it was and there's a hissing noise that wasn't there before. How difficult is it to trace a leak? Are there 5 million places it could happen from?!? :P

    Remap help!

    So I've had my wee S3 for a couple of months now and its great. I was thinking of getting it remapped so I took it to the local Revo dealer who said that it felt standard. He put a trial map on it which would last for 5 hours and then revert back to standard. However, I noticed no difference at...
