No idea with braided hoses mate i just used the stock r32 ones everything just bolted on with the expection of the brake hose clamp/mount on the top of the wheel arch which needed a little widening to get the new hose in with a dremel and pair of pliers.

No they dont unfortunately mate its a completely different end the screws on the caliper.

The one without the circle with a line through it is real time MPG and cannot be reset you can only reset average mpg which is the other one with the symbol next to it.

There is, r32 setup bolts straight on twin pot 334mm very big improvement even using the factory discs and pads couldnt recomened it enough espcially when you can sell your old s3 kit and make pretty much all of your money back like i did :D

A long press will reset the speed back to 0mph or if you have it on another mode like MPG it will reset that.

1) Very common issue which points to the thermostat unless the temperature changes intemittently regardless if your moving then that will be the temperature sender but from what youve said im fairly confident its the thermostat there only 7 quid and takes about 20 mins to do yourself if your...

Wow i was thinking of making the opposite switch from an S3 to an A3 TDI 170 quattro im very suprised you never see over 400 miles but how much fuel is that, i put on average 56 litres in my S3 but am i right in thinking the tanks on the newer A3s are smaller?

Well i got 374 miles for all my hard work and economic driving before the light came on and the DIS said 25 miles left that was to 54 litres so 31mpg kinda hoped for over 400 but its looking pricy to use the s3 going to work. After the halfway point you can virually watch the gauge go down...

Cheers guys

Quoted for the truth, i shall post results when im down to the light, id hope to get 400 atleast. Yep S3 8L, 56mph is the golden speed dont forget that, its nly 1 junction for me so i sit at 56 its boring but only for a few mins and give thae car a small warmdown from its boring uneventfull...

Hi guys, Anyone know of a decent trustworthy garage that i can take my S3 8L too, to get the cambelt changed? Im in Bath / Bristol area. Cheers

Ive thought about it as im doing 50 miles a day but as soon as im back in driving it i dont want to settle for anything less, if you drive them steady you can get a reasonable mpg figure, i know its boring but im on 220 miles and still got half a tank left, getting around 34mpg going to work...

From what youve said sounds like they havent done anything, did they even change the oil? if the temp goes down with the heater on they havent changed the thermostat. This is why i service my cars myself so i know its done properly, i know its not always an option but its getting harder and...

Cheers mate, maybe i should take the tip off when ive got more time to investigate such a crammped engine bay for a 4 pot isnt it.

No smoke and loosing oil from the rocker cover thats it, going to keep my eyes on the dipstick for the next few days.

its under the sub yes but further down basically attached to the inside of the rear bumper almost.

I know the back of the engine is coated in it even if i wipe it off it comes back but its not dripping on my drive so i dont think theres a leak as i havent got the plastic undertray.

Ok in an attmpt to find a leaky wash fluid pipe i took my airbox out and thought id have a gander at the turbo, now my rocker cover gasket was leaking and i had it repalced about 8k miles ago but should the turbo be covered in baked on oil? my guess is instantly no and im thinking it doesnt have...

Im surprised you got the factory powder coat off with nitrmors when i id my R32s i had to get them shot blasted nitrmors wouldnt touch it, nice job anyway hope the finnish lasts :)

Im 99% sure that vag com wont display anything, not all electrical items are covered as my main fan has died and doesnt show, there is a rebuild thread for the pump but youll have to be carefull as theres lots of bits to it. The pump should come on even if you only turn the ignition on and off...
