    The moderately informational brake thread....

    Hello All! This may have been covered and i realise, that its not much of a performance upgrade but would the REAR Lcr disk, carrier and caliper be a bolt on job on an A3 TQS? This is one of the ones with the odd size rear as standard (I gather they're front lupo brakes if anyone knows.)...

    MAF problem puzzle. fitted new maf, flat spots on boost. help?

    Tried it unplugged, just pulled it out while the engine was running. Eml didn't come on. Drove smoothly but maybe not as quick. Plugged new one back in and seems to be ok again. I've no idea now.

    What have you done today?
