    Quarter Mile Times.. who has slips in a S3?

    Hey Imola S3, thanks for bringing that piece of information to my attention. Apparently there really is an issue with the pitch, however it is not an issue with all cars. I have to follow that one up so don't take my numbers too seriously

    Quarter Mile Times.. who has slips in a S3?

    Well, with an accelerometer (G-Tech Pro) I've reached 13.89 and 164 km/h. Mods are Revo with SPS3 (HB9 T6). According to the manufacturer the accelerometer is very accurate... (on the same run 0-100 km/h was 5.9 sec) This was during winter so the temperature was very favourable but on the other...

    Audi Hidden Secrets in Computer

    Yeah, been there, done that, got the t-shirt, etc... It works, some of the codes just aren't exactly where they should be e.g. 50 Standing time could be number 51, at least on my car. Or then I have a slightly differen list. You can return back to normal whenever you want. And yes, the...

    S3 Coolant warning

    Yessir, had a similar problem on my S3. Mine occured only when the temperature was below -5 degrees Celcius. I managed to get it to disappear by restarting once. A couple of times it disappeared by itself within a couple of minutes. Had it in for service and mentioned about the problem. My...

    rumbles over bumps

    I have a similar problem and the local dealer found out that it is the track-rod ends, inner ones. Mine has 75k km on it (around 50k miles).

    Turbo boost pressure?

    Gambba: Actually I know and agree with you, just couldn't resist the small flame . I actually did get wheelspin on dry tarmac with my summer set of tires, although what I left out is that those tires are, no were, really sh*tty regarding grip. I have actually better traction on dry tarmac with...

    Turbo boost pressure?

    Gambba, if I floor it and drop the clutch I just might as well order new tires as well. A chipped S3 just puts out so much torque that even four wheel drive can't cope with it resulting in a massive wheel spin. Okay, this looks quite stunning but is not really the fastest launch

    Revo comments trial issues

    MarkS3, if you would opt for the Revo, remember that the above mentioned is for the trial, the "real" software is somewhat different. If you leave the ethics (everyone is innoncent until proven guilty and blabla so on) aside, I believe that any of the more known tuners are a good option. Do a...

    Revo comments trial issues

    I am not a robot, I am a free man! I don't feel disrespected, but I really stumbled across this one. I admit I only checked the A3/S3 forum wheter this link / post had been already here so my apologize for that one. And at least in Finland the Revo dealer does NOT say that the trial disappears...

    Turbo boost pressure?

    Well, mine is a 210 hp Revo-tuned. It should give some 255-265 hp with this. According to Revo the pressure is with my configuration 1.35 bar relative (19.5 psi). With the Revo SPS3 you'll be able to get some 1.5 bar (21.75 psi) and with that one could imagine something like 270 hp. This power...

    Turbo boost pressure?

    Is that the 225 hp version? That one should have 1.1 bar relative pressure (about 16 psi). Does anyone know what the 210 hp version has? My local dealer said 0.7-1.0 bar (about 10-14.5 psi), which is really not that exact.

    Serial Port Tuning Alternatives

They have announced however that more models will follow shortly. Here up north BSR have been around for years and...

    S3 Service manual?

    JayBeeS3: Terve, I usually cruise along the beautiful bulevards of Helsinki... Gambba: Thanks, I'll check it out. Hmm, even at erwin I don't find manuals regarding the S3. Is it just me or..? Or does the A3 manuals cover the S3 as well, any knowledge?

    S3 Service manual?

    Hi everyone! Quite a newbie from Finland here... I've been reading posts with great interest and help as well for a while. Now for my hopefully easy question, tried to make a search but didn't find anything... Is there, anywhere, a service manual (preferrably with VAG COM codes) available...
