    More BAG than VAG!

    Just thought I'd pop a few pics up of my A3 as it now stands. Owned the car for about 11 months now....but really haven't felt much love for it since the off. Had nothing but Ford's up till the BMW 330d before this, but I can't wait to get a Ford back. German cars just don't sit right with me...

    Word of Warning - Raceland, Rokkor, JOM, TA Technix, Tuning Art Coilovers etc

    Raceland, Rokkor, Ta Technix, JOM - “Go low for cheap”, or not as it would prove with my Audi A3 8P I purchased a set of Raceland coilovers off eBay after being pretty happy with my previous ones on the Focus. Bit confused when Rokkors arrived, but not to worry as they are identical...

    2.0 FSI Inlet/Intake Manifold Removal

    Anyone have a guide or walk through for this?? Can get it loose, but can't get the room to remove it. Does the EGR pipe need to be removed as well?

    2.0 FSI Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor Location

    Right....this has got me confused as hell!! Been having issues with my gauge and random misfires....so replacing both the sensors seemed a logical start. However....I thought there were 2 separate sensors for the coolant. 1-Coolant Sensor - Sends a signal to the ECU (has 4 wires) 2-Coolant...
