    diverter valve failure

    My car is stage 2 APR. Over the last few weeks I've noticed I have turbo flutter when lifting off the throttle but very intermittently. Today at I'd say peak boost although I have no boost gauge there is a very fast flutter/hissing noise which sounds boost related and a slight drop in power...

    Sepang Blue RS3

    Just spotted a Sepang Blue RS3 in Poulton-Le-Fylde (anyone off here?), must be sooo rare. Never seen one before. Even considered leaving a note for them to get in touch of they ever sell it. Looked amazing even in the terrible weather. Does anyone know how many were made and how easy they are to...

    Not Happy, APR stage 2 problems.

    Went in for APR stage 1 at awesome today. They took it upon themselves to map it to stage 2 as I had a turbo back exhaust system and was having the VWR intake fitted at the same time as they said it would bring lights up on the dash. Previously told stage 1 would be fine for the time being...

    cant make up my mind

    I had my powervalve turbo back with sports cat fitted last Friday. I was going to go stage 2+ and now im having second thoughts as I don't do that many miles and don't think it would be worth the cost to get 360+ bhp and rarely use it. I'm now thinking of going APR stage one with an APR...

    S3 APR stage 2

    I'm getting a BCS powervalve turbo back with sports cat fitted next week and spoken with awesome gti about having a VW racing induction kit fitted along with APR stage 2 software, which they say is fine.

    S3 custom remap

    Hi I've booked in at a local VW/Audi specialist called Volks Workshop near Blackpool to have a custom remap. The car is completely standard and they said I should get a 40bhp increase and 70nm torque increase. You get 3 dyno runs and a graph print out. Does this sound safe enough I don't want...

    Oily smell since S-Tronic and Haldex oil change

    Since having my S-Tronic, Haldex and rear diff oil changed a couple of weeks ago every time I put my foot down the car smells of a really strange oil smell. More pungant than just engine oil. Doesn't smell whilst driving normally. I thought maybe there was some excess oil from spillage just...

    Gearbox Oil

    Hi, I have a 58 plate A4 s-line avant, 2.0 TDI. The gearbox is really clunky and sometimes hard to get into gear, especially first. I'm sure I read that it is quite a common problem and putting a lower viscoscity oil into the box sorts it out. Does anyone know which oil to get to sort this...
