PS car will probably be up for sale in the next 6 months or so, so if anyone knows of someone who is after a well looked after A3 3.2 DSG 5-dr give me a PM...!

Glad this continues to be of help! Yep, car is still running flawlessly 15000 miles later.

Yep, easy to disassemble. Seems a shame to have to buy the whole thing for a small rubber diaphragm, but cheaper than any other alternative I could find!

Engine is exactly the same, so should work fine. Mine has been well ever since by the way.

Yep sounds like this: http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a3-s3-sportback-8p-chassis/206883-a3-3-2-v6-misfire-fixed-ecu-software-update.html

It was pretty bad, and VCDS said multiple misfires but nothing specific. The giveaway was the hissing from the rocker cover hole, and that it was fine once the hose from the inlet manifold was removed and blocked.

Yep, bumper seemed to go back on fine - found the 10mm bolt easy enough with a long extension, but admit the screws are a pain.

JJ.Foulds - Yep a ridiculous design! autolatry - Ouch. In comparison the 2.0 TFSI PCV was £38.68 today, which I thought was steep seeing as all I needed was 50p's worth of rubber...

I had an extremely poor idle, and thanks to the below threads diagnosed it to a failed PCV valve. However, on the 3.2 VR6, the PCV arrangement is under the valve cover. Which is under the inlet manifold. Which can't be removed without sliding forward the slam panel. Which can't be done...

Could do. I'd suggest that if you can't feel anything wrong with your car you leave it though.

If you can't hold 2000rpm steady in neutral, and can feel surging in-gear between about 1500rpm and 2200rpm, I'd say you need an update. A scan with VCDS showed my software was on version 7000 (it is now on version 8036). I specifically told them it had a misfire "at high revs" and also around...

I know there are several threads on this (e.g. http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a3-s3-sportback-8p-chassis/161451-a3-3-2-2004-missfire-2.html), but for people's future reference... Just had TPI 2010289/3 (SVM 8P01A005) applied by Swindon Audi. After a little confusion, once I gave them the SVM...
