My recently acquired V6 TDi Sport

Hi Graham, I had this problem a lot with my previous black car. Thinking it was an error in my polishing technique (not breaking it down properly) I soon discovered that it was actually the removal of the polish that was the problem. I would give the panel a wipe then a spray with a QD and...

Hopefully I can add some value here. I have upgraded the stock S3 suspension (having covered about 55k miles) with a H&R Cup Kit. I have had this for about 8k miles now. At the same time as upgrading, top mounts, front drop links and the front arb (standard Audi one) were replaced. A few months...

Thanks very much for your input. I will probably get rid of Nav and add the hill hold assist for the small amount it costs. Folding mirrors was another one I considered so might stretch to that too

Hi All, New here but have been on the 8P forum for a few months now. I currently have an 8P S3 and after some deliberation have decided to opt into my company car scheme. The S3 is great but proving quite costly in repairs and maintenance (2007 car with 65k) as well as fuel. The security of a...

Yes you can. Although you should note that for some reason it won't charge the iphone 3Gs. When I plug mine in it says charging not supported on the phone display

Since installing a H&R cup kit on my 2007 S3 back in December I have had a squeak/groan coming from the rear of the car when going over bumps or going up/down driveways at low speeds. The noise is louder when there are people in the back and once the car is warmed up. Things that have been done...

Used the cleaner and conditioner on the leather sofas this weekend. They look superb now. The products even helped mask (significantly) the scratches my kitten decided to inflict upon the armrest. I recommend Gliptone to anybody who has leather and gives even the tiniest toss about their car.

I can't wait for the temperature to be anything other than freezing so I can break out the detailing bag on my S3. Inspiring pics. Tob job :thumbsup:

I recently sold mine on eBay for £20 to a salvage dealer. Off a 2007 57k car. I only had one bid all week!

I actually bought my S3 with a map on it. It was quite aggressive and was starting to cause clutch slip in higher gears at peak torque. As I had spent close to £2.5k in three months on suspension, steering rack, a fuel leak and service and have only had the car six months I asked AmD to put a...

Thanks. This worked for me too. This forum is great!

Hi Jason, I hope this gets sorted for you and karma catches up with whoever is responsible. With regards to future protection maybe you should consider those clear wrap things that many people use to protect against stone chips on their bonnet and clear lamin-x on the lights. I had this stuff...

Thanks for the reply andy. The rears will be faded out. I plan to take the audio signal from the front only. The LC2 will split the signal into full range and sub bass for my amps. Comps up front with a sub is all you need for decent sound in my opinion. So I will replace the comps, sub and...

Hi, I'm not really sure where you could get an original plug to solder back onto the factory loom - surprised that Audi can't help to be honest. At worst I thought they might be able to sell you a new loom complete with plug. Seeing as you have a single DIN unit already, have you considered...

Hi All, I have been thinking about putting my amps into my S3 with Symphony II (non Bose). I have two Directed amps that are a couple of years old but do the job. The first is a 2 channel amp (2 x 150 wrms @ 4ohms) that I will use to drive the front components and the second is a mono D-cLass...

They will come to life when you start moving if left in the on position.

Took a good look around under the rear of the car yesterday and noticed three of the coils in the rear spring were touching near the top. I have had a look at pics online and this seems to be normal particularly with H&R but most springs have some rubber insulation on these areas so there is no...

AmD in Woking. Already been back and they have greased things up back there but still noisy.

How long have the springs been fitted? I have this on the rear after having a h&r cup kit fitted a couple of weeks ago. Been told the springs still need to settle. Would've thought two weeks would be enough time.
