My friend seems to have this problem on his 2008 S3. Will it be doing any damage if he continues to drive it whilst the parts are on order? Cheers

I have some brand new Philips X-treme Vision if any one is intrested. PM me.

Hi, I am having an issue with my parking sensors. Every now and again when I put it into reverse, I just get a constant beep. It is starting to happen more regularly now. I just had a check with the car in reverse and I can hear the faint clicking from each sensor so it would seem they are...

Ok, so I have come to a bit of a dead end.... This morning I started from the flapper itself and worked back to check everything was actually working correctly. I ran the engine to build up a vacuum in the reservoir. I shut off the engine and then took the vacuum line of the reservoir and...

If I ground the wire leading to the solenoid it should shut the flap?

I don't really understand why no fault was registered when I ran the car with the wire cut? I'm not sure if the flap was actually working before I did the mod but I presume it was as VAGCOM a has never shown the flapper fault? Any ideas?

So, managed to get a bit of time over the last few days to fit everything. To check to see if it was all working correctly, I put the GoPro on the back of the car pointing at the flapper. Went up and down the road in both normal and loud mode and guess what, the flap doesn't move, It's just...

I have the 3.2 and will be making a guide for this once all the parts arrive. It will be switchable so if you don't want to draw attention to yourself, you can just flick the switch and it's back in OEM mode. You can buy kits for the R32 which would work in the A3/S3 but they are only...

Ok, so I have just been out and taken off the A-Pillar bottom section on both drivers and passenger sides to reveal the wiring loom running to the back of the car. On the drivers side there is no sign of a grey wire with blue stripe. But on the passenger side I have found one. A few of the...

I have been doing some research on the flapper mod. I have found plenty of info for the R32 and TT but nothing for the A3. I know the wire that I'm looking for is a 0.5mm grey with blue stripe. However in the guides that I have read, this wire seems to be located in different places depending...

Know that this is the 8l but why could I not do the same with the spring on the car? http://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/top-mounts-replaced-with-pics.159323/

I am looking at getting the H&R 35mm springs and upgrading the shock absorbers at the same time. Which shocks are suited for these springs? I am new to coil suspension, I am used to leaf springs on old Land Rovers that brake your teeth over every bump....

Cheers for the replies. I currently just have the stock setup. I have no idea how much a set of coil overs would cost? Whilst were on the topic of where to source parts, does any one know the part numbers for the 3 gearbox mount bolts? I added a dogbone insert but it keeps coming loose and I...

I am also having trouble finding the actual top mount, eurocarparts don't have them and there doesn't seem to be much on the bay for the 3.2?

I have a lemforder bearing, does it matter if this is mixed with a FEBI top mount?

I seem to have a faint knocking noise when turning the steering wheel at low speeds/standstill. At first I thought it may be the steering rack, but after some further investigation I reccon it's the top mounts. I narrowed it down to what I think are worn top mounts after putting my hand on the...

Just noticed this nasty little split in the back of the drivers seat... :-( Is there any way to remove the rear part of the seat so I can reinforce it and stop it from getting any worse?

For the 3.2 I use Castrol Edge FST Fully Synthetic 5W30

RapsterUK PM me your email address I will send them over. Loque, yes it was my first car, brought it back in December 2006

Hi Gabbatek, Here is the flap mod from another forum, it explains in there when it's open and when it's closed, it also shows how you can gain control of it. Depends how you like wiring,... http://forums.audiworld.com/showthread.php?t=1901093 Some people say that this flap was only on the...
