I've been out and checked again guys and something I didn't expect ....the oil in the throttle body has not returned! Hopefully that means my turbo seals arent knackered? :) Ok cheers for the info Bill, I'm learning..slowly! so you would say the fuelling is highly likely the cause? Anything...

Thanks guys, at least im finally getting somewhere. Just hope its not the turbo but lets see in a couple of days if the oils back.

Thanks man, I've been out and checked the TB today and also logged the o2 voltage. Pics and log below. There was some oil in the TB, not loads but a little puddle as shown in the pics so I'm pretty sure this is the cause and is very bad news for me. Turbo seals?? I am really hoping there is...

Ok I'll give the TB a check again as soon as I can and see if I can get my hands on a compression tester, presume that would show any issues with rings etc? If it would then any idea what sort of compression it shuld be making considering its age? The shell near me is just at the end of the...

That explains that then! cheers Tuffty I've tried it on a few fuels including V Power but it seems to pull timing like crazy even on that, might decrease it a tiny bit but it will still pull 8's or almost 8's and I've given the throttle body a clean inside and realigned as well, forgot to...

Hi All My car has always pulled timing since I got it, anything up to 8.5's and I've been trying to find out why, replaced fuel pump, coils, plugs, fuel filter, MAF, air filter, cleaned injectors and FPR etc but nothing has had an impact. I've done some logging and IAT's seems ok (im not expert...

Ok thanks I'll give them a call

I don't suppose anyone knows of a reputable place to get a smoke test done near Grimsby/Lincoln or withing a reasonable distance? Cheers

Ok so I just checked and it's definitely a 3 bar FPR, I cleaned it out a few months back with an ultrasonic bath and it didn't look like it had much in there then except a bit of grit, no melted fuel line but I suppose that doesn't rule it out. Any way to check if it's blocked other than visual...

Thanks Tuffty that makes sense. My trims showed -8.6 short term and a little over -19 long term so it looks like the problem is there all the time but worse on cruise. My thoughts were that the MAF could be ready high but because the MAF readings are 10gs when I hold the revs steady at 3k and...

Hi all, Help please! my APY is drving me insane! :keule:I know there's a lot of info below but I've tried to do as much as I can myself first using search before asking :thumbsup: It was down on power and MAF readings really low so I changed the MAF for one kindly donated to me (Cheap Ebay...

Thanks, much appreciated :thumbsup:

Have you considered going for a single mass flywheel? Ive just had the valeo kit fitted to mine and got no complaints, less problematic than dual mass apparently and the kits just short of 300 at carparts4less thats clutch and fly included and I just got a slave separately. Something to consider...

cheers Tuffty, any ideas what internal diameter that hose is?

Hi, I have an S3 APY & I took my TB off at the weekend for a clean and noticed the little hose connected to the top (not the main large hose) looks very perished underneath so thinking of replacing it but I can't find any info on it through search. Can anyone help? It looks like a vac hose but...

I bought this car (S3 8L) a few months back and the previous owner was a dealer who didn't know anything about the car really, it's had a few mods such as 007p, decat, filter, map etc but I'd like to find out a bit more about it such as it seems to be much more free revving than others I've been...

Hmm it does have a bit of a knock/rattle but it's hard to tell if that's just the noise of everything vibrating (untrained ears!!) I tried a new set of plugs as well and they all looked the same colour, light brown, but I forgot to put that in my list :keule: So maybe the next step would be a...

Hi, I've got an S3 8L 2000 (APY) and it started vibrating a LOT after a bit of spirited driving recently and so I ran VCDS strait away but no codes showed at all :ermm: Its happens whether the car is moving or not and is mostly between idle - 2500rpm, above that it gets a fair bit smoother plus...

Cheers rupe I'll give it another go then and hope it works this time. Its already knackered anyway so I can't make it worse :)

Hello all, Both my latitude & longitude acceleration sensors were faulty on the S3 so I replaced the lat sensor with a new one then before replacing the long sensor I noticed the german guide on how to reflow the solder yourself, I gave it a go on the old lateral sensor I now had spare but I...
