Mines an 2008 S3, I've got a creaking noise coming from the passenger footwell of the car most noticeably when I'm sitting in traffic creeping froward regardless of whether in gear or not. I've had an mot recently and...

    Knocking/Tapping noise when I turn right at low speed & another problem

    I think the knocking noise could be strut mounts, mine did the same, sprayed them with grease and that solved it.

    Remap help!!

    Again you are right. I'm hoping to replace the car next year and was hoping to make the next 12 months more exciting by remapping hence ideally not wanting to go for a clutch as well as I want to get the cambelt done quite soon. I wont go past stage 1 if im honest I just think the car has a bit...

    Remap help!!

    Yeah I know what you mean, I can afford a new clutch but would rather not if I dont have to. But because its my daily driver id rather not have it go bang straight away and I am left carless for as long as it takes to replace it! If I did replace with an OEM LUK one would that really be such a...

    Remap help!!

    Okay sounds good, the reason I have opted to look at superchips is due to the convenience of being to DIY. When you say handheld unit I am assuming once you buy that the map is just loaded using that. The unit seems to be about £360 odd which seems round about the same price everyone else seems...

    Remap help!!

    Thanks for the information mate. I will have to do the cambelt soon was going to do that in the next couple of months probably Julyish.
