    Great Mike, many thanks for that. The headlights are indeed a concern, would be interested to hear from any other RS4 owners if they have experienced a similar problem?

    2010 Audi S3 running rough on cold start-up

    I've got a 2010 model with 28K which now has started running rough on initial cold start-up. It's almost like it's misfiring but tough to say. Quite a strong smell of petrol as well. After a couple of minutes, she comes good and no issues at all when running part-warm or hot and no engine...

    Looking for recommendation to fit H&R Srings to S3 in Aberdeen/shire

    Is it necessary to get the alignment checked/reset after only a 25mm drop? Local Motorsport company has quoted £360 to supply and fit the springs including a full geometry check using Hunter equipment. About £80 of that is the geometry check.

    Looking for recommendation to fit H&R Srings to S3 in Aberdeen/shire

    Yeah, I should really just do the job myself. Reasonably handy with a spanner, fitted coilovers to my Clio trackcar no probs. A guide would of course help to see if there's anything specific/peculiar with the S3 set-up.

    What's the valve thingy on the rear exhuast silencer on my S3?

    I know a pic would be useful here but there seems to be some kind of valve thing attached to the back box of my S3 with a rubber pipe going somewhere. What's this for and if I plonk for a catback Milltek system, does it come with the same valve?

    8J 18 wheels offset 32 with 235/40R18 tyres - will this be OK on 2010 S3?

    As per title, would I have any issues with this? Standard set-up is 7.5J 18 ET54 so with slightly wider wheel that's about an extra inch wider per corner. Would this be too much? Car is standard height but thinking about H&R -25mm springs as well.
