    Squeaky bushes S3?

    I'm looking into powerflex now. Not sure which one I need to replace though. Is there anyway to tell just by looking at them? I've checked the springs and they're still in one piece.

    Squeaky bushes S3?

    Recently I've noticed a quite annoying squeaking(sounds like a bird) coming from the passenger side when I'm driving. Its not constant. Some times I don't notice it. I'm guessing its the bushes? Does anyone know how to tell if it is the bushes? I'm hoping you guys have experience on this haha...

    Squealing noise when starting up

    Nope. It only seems to squeal for about 3 seconds. Then its perfect.

    Squealing noise when starting up

    When I start my car in the morning there's a squealing noise coming from the engine. It only last about 2-3 seconds and then I don't hear it again. It happens within the first 10 seconds of starting my car up. But if the engine is warm it doesn't seem to do it. Anyone know what this could be...

    Advice on wheels/spacers.

    Ahhh that clears things up. Thanks. I would be interested in the 16mm and the 20mm spacers when you're ready to sell them. Are they hubcentric? Also as long as they're a better deal than the ones online ;)

    Advice on wheels/spacers.

    Didn't realise the spacers come with extended bolts. I thought the spacers bolted to the hub and the wheel bolted to the spacer

    Advice on wheels/spacers.

    Thanks for all the comments. They've helped a lot. I've decided I'm going to get the BBS CH reps. 18" 8J ET35 5x100. Karl said to aim for an offset of 20. So I should need 15mm spacers? Two quick questions. Why do people run bigger spacers on the back? Is it because the arches flare more? So...

    Advice on wheels/spacers.

    Thanks for all the replies. I've decided to try and get my money back on the wheels. If someone described them as genuine RS6 Alloys 8J ET 43 I think that's what I should of got. I don't really feel like spending out £200+ on adapters for replicas. I would rather try and find some genuine RS6...

    Advice on wheels/spacers.

    I think your'e right. If its a dry day tomorrow I'm going to take a wheel off and see if they'll bolt on. If not I'm going to get my money back. Think I will go for BBS CH or LM reps if I get a refund

    Advice on wheels/spacers.

    I suppose that's a good thing then. Although I'm a bit annoyed that the guy described them as genuine RS6 Alloys 8"x18" ET43. I'm not to sure if they're 5x100. Is there anyway of finding out? I've seen a guy on here from South Africa with a silver S3 with RS6 Reps on it. I think he's running...

    I'll try and upload a picture. The seller I got them off described them as genuine RS6 alloys. He even said they were 8J. Looks like he will be getting an email.

    On the inside of the alloy it says 7.5Jx18H2 ET54.

    Advice on wheels/spacers.

    I recently got some genuine 18" RS6 alloys. Before I fit them I want to get some spacers. I'm new to spacers so I would rather get some advice before I buy some. So sorry if some of the questions seem really stupid I understand that the spacers bolt onto the car and the wheels bolt onto the...

    Need peoples opinions

    Getting a few bits sprayed on my S3 because of stone chips. But i'm not sure whether to get the rear bumper insert, side strips(bottom of doors) and the bit that surrounds the front fog lights done at the same time. They're all a matte grey colour at the moment. Have a lot of people changed the...
