    Best way to get more noise from an S3

    Fitted the BCS delete pipe yesterday and can confirm that there is no done at around 3k rpm or any other revs! I have the exhaust valves set to open via VCDS and the exhaust tone at low revs sounds much better. When accelerating, the exhaust sound is impressive! The turbo gauge now doubles up...

    Wind noise from drivers window

    Never took them back. That's the downside of doing mods, too much hassle to go back to standard for a minor issue.

    Wind noise from drivers window

    Had this on 2 8V S3s! Think it's 'just the way it is' I'm afraid.

    Just got my DTUK box

    Cheers Justo! It's nice to be able to help. Hope your having fun with the extra power from the box. I'm tempted with an new exhaust after hearing how good your car sounded. Don't know if it would get tiresome on a long drive though, will have to do some research!

    Trade in prices

    I traded a manual S3 3-door with 32.5k miles 20months old for £21.2k, which just happened to be equal to the settlement figure!

    Post Pics Of Your A3/S3 8v In Here

    Well, my first attempt at a proper clean and polish went a bit pear shaped when I got called into work! Still had enough to time to finish it off, but had to rush, which is not ideal when you have a DA polisher in your hands!

    Hmmm, will have to look into this, might have to be my next project! It certainly feels higher than my last S3 which was 3 door non mag ride on 18" wheels.

    Yea, was unsure whether to put one on or not. Strange thing is that it's barely noticeable unless you go looking for it!

    Induction kits what one to get

    The Turbo Technics pipe I got was supplied and fitted by AwesomeGTI whilst I was getting the APR stage 1 remap. Don't know why they are not advertising them yet but I think they are quoting £190.

    I got the turbo technics pipe from AwesomeGTI which completely removes the restrictive inlet pipe, gave an extra 10bhp!

    Black wing mirrors

    They are easy to fit. You will need to remove some torq screws after the mirror comes off. There is a good guide on this forum, http://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/replacing-a3-wing-mirror-covers-how-to-remove-them.260807/ I initially struggled to get the mirror out. Found that pointing the...

    Price of remap

    Most people don't have clutch slip at stage 1 with DSG, I was one of the unfortunate ones who did! I'm running a beta stage 3 DSG remap which has stopped the clutch slip. I would recommend the DSG remap as it makes the car much more drivable in Auto and Dynamic, probably does not help with mpg...

    Price of remap

    Think the standard price is £750 inc VAT, got mine booked in when it was 20% off. I'm sure you only need to book it in during the offer period, not actually get the map installed. Would recommend the gearbox remap too if your feeling flush!
