    don't be tempted to do doughnuts in the snow....

    Any pas pump will be killed on full throttle full lock combo, the rack is a ram and with it on it's stops and the pump at high rpm the fluid will just pressurise untill it breaks. Quite a few manufacturers state this in the handbook. Sorry for your loss, they ain't too cheap

    Wheel spacers... Gauging interest

    Because vehicles are designed to have the bearing in the center of the wheel, by offsetting the wheel out 20mm it may look pretty but it will **** the bearing in time and i cant see you all having the gear to renew S3 rears? Max i'd go is 15, but then i have the eqpt to fit new. Any ideas on...

    Replacement S3 engine needed :(

    That is actually quite funny! The chocolate engined subaru compared to the unreliable audi, brightened up my sunday. Any unloved car will be unreliable, but subaru! Would definately change jobs if i ever thought i was in that category.

    4WD System not working

    I cant see it being the bevel box (transfer box), if you managed to get the car to move at all then it would make some pretty nasty noises. I think you may be mistaken for the haldex setup?

    Help with longitudinal sensor

    My ESP light comes on every now and then and flags up the lateral sensor, done it twice tonight. All lateral and longitudanal sensors need calibrating when fitted, one day I'll do mine.

    Any weight is better than no weight, two kilo less is two kilo more fuel on the track.

    4WD System not working

    The 8l system alway has drive to the rear just at times not noticeable. This is why all four wheels spin up on the ramp and when the system is broke they dont. Westle is also correct in his discription of the different times more or less power is supplied and when being nailed the drive to the...

    If its no longer plugged in then it will log a fault, if its coded out then the ecu wont know what its missing.

    Stay or go???

    I will be removing mine once ive had a look at the plate i need to knock up to replace the valve then get it coded out. the only con is that the cat will not get up to temp as quick but for mot the vehicle has to be warm anyways.

    4WD System not working

    This is also wrong, four wheels being driven is 4wd whatever label you stick on it. There is always drive to the rear to some extent (unless braking or h/braking) which becomes more so as the front loses traction, my car will donut on its nose in the snow or wet which indicates to me power being...

    MPG?

    I drive a mile and a half to work every day so that's probably it, I have no faults on 5051 and I serviced it not so long ago but it's a technicians car and generally we hate working on our own.
