    S3 8P Differential

    Hi All, I have an Audi S3 8p 2007. Having a whine coming from my differential at 50mph+. All the symptoms point to the diff so I'm pretty happy (or unhappy) it's that. I've heard there are some bearings that can go but you need special tools to remove / fit them, does anyone know somewhere...

    Best breakers/Parts source for S3 8P? (Rear diff)

    Hi, I'm getting a whine from the rear diff on run down so looks like it needs replacing according to the garage. The garage (a decent Audi indy) have told me a new one is £2-3k apparently from Audi. They are more than happy to fit one but obviously wont source used parts. Where is the best place...

    Code for Sports Diff

    Hey guys, Just trying to work out if my BiTdi has the sports diff. As a friend said to me before, when you’re buying used, if you can check like 6 or 7 out of 10 on the wish-list you will be doing well - so either way I am happy. I believe I should be looking for GH1 - could anyone confirm? (See...

    S3 Haldex, DSG & Diff oil change

    Hi all :) Do Audi stealership still change the haldex oil only and not clean the gauze filter? In terms of servicing is there such a thing as a front and rear diff on the 8v that require oil changes? Is 38k okay to wait for DSG oil change or should it be done sooner? Thanks

    A3 S-Line Rapid knocking at speed

    Started happening about a month ago, very faint at first, a fast knocking noise that was higher in pitch with speed, not related to the engine revs. Going down a hill in neutral confirmed that, no change in pitch at speed. So I'm guessing it could be the diff, the sound is clearly coming from...
