    s3 recaro seats tilt

    I have tried to look with the search function but can't seem to get a clear answer. My recaro seats have started to get very difficult to tilt. To move them i now have to pull on both handles (either side of the seat) or it wont budge. How do you adjust the bar that connects them so they tilt...

    s3 apy 210bhp power loss hesitating

    yes on a gauge. Seems ridiculously high! Would the split breather cause such a high spike? And if so why only in 6th :S . This is turning out to be a very strange fault

    s3 apy 210bhp power loss hesitating

    Well I've fitted a new n75 valve. The car boosted fine for around half a mile. It now won't boost over 0.2 bar in any gear. Has this new found boost created a boost leak?

    s3 apy 210bhp power loss hesitating

    Developed a bit of a boos issue . The car hesitates randomly under boost. From watching the boost gauge it drops from 1.4 bar to around 0.6 when it hits the flat spot. I'm thinking either dodgy dump valve or a failing actuator? Any one experienced this? Thanks
