    Top Mounts replaced with pics

    I know this is a bit of a dusty (But useful) Thread, but i have a question. I want to know how to tell if the top mounts need replacing? In first and second picture by op, it shows a clear gap between "cap" and "mount". Is this the indication for replacement? I have a very similar gap on my A3...

    Where to "TEE"?

    Right i am sorry to be asking this as it has been asked so many times before but i am torn and confused as to the best placement for tee'ing in the vac hose to run a boost gauge. I have used the search function plenty and spent a fair bit of time reading up on this. The most common way seems to...

    My first encounter with a dealer.

    I had a very similar experience. After buying the a3 i soon needed the radio code, i phoned my local dealer (Newton Abbot) who quoted 25 pounds for the code so booked it in. i was in exeter the following day and on a whim popped in to the local Audi there and spoke to the first person i saw and...

    boost gauge pod

    I am in the end stages of building mine. I just got one of these ebay jobbies and followed a "TUT" on here. Just waiting on fabric to arrive now then i'm done. A fair bit cheaper and not to hard to do. (All props to Sidey) http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a3-s3-forum-8l-chassis/171822-pillar-gauge.html

    Knocking noise.

    Thanks for that, Well i went to Audi today for my coil recall (They were fine) The nice chap had a road test and had a look at what may be causing the noise and says "suspect Anti Roll Bar". A few people have mentioned this so would seem the likely culprit. My question is what would this mean...

    Knocking noise.

    Hello, My 2001 A3 1.8T has developed an annoying Knocking sound/Feeling which seem's to be coming from the passengers foot-well. It only really happens whilst going slow over bumps, pot holes etc Nothing when on a smooth road, nothing whilst turning full lock left or right forward or reverse...
