    2009 S3 Exhaust blowing

    Ill have a little dig around to see if I can find a flex pipe option that would work. If not then I'll give you a call to arrange for the section to be repaired. If I do find something Ill let you know what it is and if it works! thanks again Andrew

    2009 S3 Exhaust blowing

    thanks Nige Im assuming then that removing the flexible bit with a rigid bit doesn't cause any other issue. Is there enough flex elsewhere to make up for the expansion? Also am I right in thinking removing the bellow wont improve performance.. thanks A

    2009 S3 Exhaust blowing

    Brill thanks for that any idea what its for? Does it serve any purpose? I was quoted around 300 to have it cut out and a section added. It was a spur of the moment quote but I guess its to cover taking the exhaust off / welding and refitting. Ive spoken to 6 or 7 people in audi and non are...

    Winter Wheels and Tyres - S3

    Thanks so mk TT wheels work as well. Any thoughts on the ET56 off set on the wheels I mentioned? The standard offset for the S3 (according to the blurb is between 43-50) the ET56 would technically move the wheel out 12mm nearer the arches. mmm Im thinking it might be easier to get 18 inch...

    Winter Wheels and Tyres

    Hi my first post as an 8P S3 owner... has anyone opted for winter wheels and tyres for their S3? The Audi dealer I bought my 2009 S3 from recommends 6Jx17 ET48 wheels. Im not sure whether to got for these or just get an extra set of standard wheels and fit them with winter tyres. Any...
