Apologies for the late reply... I bought the kit (Shim and cover) and when I finally got the car up the driveway and pulled the old cover off, there was play in the shaft! So i installed the shim under the clip and re-installed the new cover (You destroy the old one when you take it off with a...

Access easily by removing front LH wheel and a plastic guard. If on a car lift... super easy to get to. Now to investgate and get a shim made!

Omg! Did a google search on 02M input shaft play... This could be it!!!!!! The input shaft (the shaft that goes from one end of the gearbox to the other in this case) has the clutch on one end, and a axial (not thrust) bearing at the other end. And... that axial bearing is accessed via a...

Some kind of plate to fix some kind of metal plate? Can you elaborate please?

Hey everyone, Apologies for the LONG write up, but if I give ALL the details, it saves bouncing back and forth with Q&A... My car is an 2006 Audi A3 8P with 2.0TFSI and 6sp Man. I've had an ongoing problem with my clutch for some time now, and I've discovered some new info that may lead to...

In the interest of having a solution here for people who might experience the same problem in the future... Have you resolved what was wrong??

There is an over-centre action in the A3 clutch... It could be the mechanism "clicking" in and out of position.... I know its really uncomfortable, but if you can lay on your back and stick your head in the footwell and press the clutch back and forth, you will get a better view than from...

Change ONE wheel for a stock OEM wheel at a time... then go for a drive... this will eliminate if it is ONE wheel, or more/all of them?

Everyone knows, if you're going to do multiple exhaust tips, you have to do AT LEAST 20... Fail!!!! :stupid:

Me thinks this car wished it ran on AvTur?! :whistle2:

For K04 S3's... you're probably right, but are you going to say that for a 1.4TFSI? What I'm getting at is, I have 3 options: 1. Use a 3" DP, with full 3" system 2. Use a 3" DP, with a 2.75" System 3. Use a 3" DP, with a 2.5" System Now... I believe option 1, is OVERKILL for the A3 with a...

do some research, I vaguely remember watching a video review on all the different models available and some had a function that would lay "idle" or "Standby" when parked, and would start recording if the car was bumped or something... Some could have a 2nd camera mounted on the rear, that can...

Because I don't want a very LOUD exhaust that sounds like it has tin cans for mufflers. TOTALLY agree, So why would I need a 3" exhaust if I have no intention of reaching 600bhp? Based on that premise, you could assume that having NO exhaust would be best for maximum power. And yes, while I...

So should I keep with the 3" DP? (Remembering its a K03) Considering that the biggest restriction on these systems is the cat converter mounted ON the turbo outlet, then, another one shortly after... Once those are replaced with a Hi-Flow cat, positioned at the end of the DP. then what would...

I can understand why you would go bigger when it comes to turbo engines... but 3" seems excessive for any power below 200kW?

So let me set the scene. I have an A3 8P 2.0tfsi Quattro. I also have (Sitting in the shed) a 3" APR Stainless DP with flex attached. I want to have a custom exhaust installed, (Personal reasons) and here is what I'm thinking: I install the 3" DP, into a 3" Cat, then shift/taper to a 2.5"...

remember, best time to check is about 5-10mins after a drive. Let the oil settle to to sump and then check. (You can check when cold, but it "May" be a tiny bit higher on the stick than normal) Agree with mx_rab ... Pull the dipstick, clean/wipe it really well, try to dry it off when you clean...

The standard wheel specs for the audi A3 8P are: 17x7.5 ET56 with a 5x112 PCD. Of course, this can vary a little depend on the year / level. But generally, they are 7.5" wide (7.5J) rims and somewhere around ET56. The 8P also has different "Track" from front to Rear. (1531mm Front, 1515mm...

The A3 8P most definitely has different "Track" from front to rear. To correct it, you will need to have different offset on your wheels from front to back. The standard wheels that re currently on my 2006 A3 8P 2.0TFSI Quattro is: 17x7.5J ET56 with 225/45R17 Tyres. Try a website...

I'm looking at something like a 42 Draft Designs Alloy MAF, coupled (Via a 2.75" - 3" silicone Coupler) to 3" ducting, around the top of the engine to some sort of enclosure in front of the battery, that draws in Air from where the factory setup draws it. This would retain stock fuel trims...
