    Anyone had a go at fitting a black headlining?

    I'm also wanting to do the same. Got a couple ear-marked on t'bay. I replaced the headlining in my Mini with an alcantara one which wasn't too much of a job (it had a roll cage in to make it harder!). Like others said, careful manipulation to get it out the boot! What's a good price for lining...

    S3 engine cover with ITG CAI

    Hi everyone I've just purchased an ITG cold air system but want to retain an engine cover. I was reading silky-s3's thread and saw he installed a TTRS engine cover. Would this fit (with new mounts) to my engine? http://bit.ly/GWOu2W

    S3 DSG with Miltek turbo-back and remap - hmmmmm

    Agree - definitely feels like a map issue. But having both the fuel and the spark checked, it appears to be more boost related I'd say. Nothing was touched around the turbo (other than the downpipe) and it doesn't sound to be losing boost. I'll get the stock map flashed back on. My plan is a...

    S3 DSG with Miltek turbo-back and remap - hmmmmm

    Hi all I recently purchased a Miltek turbo back with 100 cell sports cat, de-resonated centre section etc and fitted this yesterday. At the same time, an Evolution remap was applied to the car (the place that does the fitting also is an ECU calibration/specialist who do some very funky work). I...

    S3 8P DSG - looking for power advice

    Hello everyone I'm very new to the world of Audi's and have recently bought an S3 DSG. Coming from a 500bhp Subaru, the car does feel a little sluggish - however the DSG and general day-to-day drivability of the car is certainly a joy! When purchasing the next car - I looked at the tuning...

    Yorkshireman onboard!

    Unfortunately it transpired the car had some pretty serious crash damage! The dealer notified me a couple of days after I paid the deposit. So, in the end, I went with a Black S-Tronic car instead :) comes with the RNS, AMI, full leather etc etc Seriously enjoying the smoothness of the car...

    Fire extinguisher. Who has them and where do you mount them?

    In my race car and previous daily I always had a Lifeline zero-360 extinguisher. In the Mini it is plumbed in to both the engine bay and the footwells. In my daily I had one in the passenger footwell. I used rivnuts to secure the bracket. Again - it was the gas version. Foam makes a hell...

    New Owner with 2.0 TFSI issues.!

    The hunting idle and revs holding sound a lot like a vacuum pipe / boost pipe leak to me.
