Hi Guys,
Just bought my first S3 for silly money aswell £1450 lol, tax and mot......runs well apart from issues listed below will try get vagcom on it, anyone local to Bristol able to come round for a drink
Boosts fine dump valve sounds normal but if you boot it through a few gears it starts to hesitate and eventually go on to 3 cylinders, im guessing its a coilpack breaking down, turn off restart its perfect.
Exhaust blowing sounds like from manifold but could be misleading and coming up from flexi.
Coolant leak from the coolant hose that runs up from right side of engine into bulkhead (heater matrix) i would imagine, are they hoses hard to get off from engine bay???
Anyway the simple but bad bits out the way this is the spec:
Let me tell you its SHOWROOM condition......
Factory Xenons
Alpine CD Player
Heated Leather Recaros
e/w
e/m
Usual S3 Refinements
Climate Control
Front Mount Intercooler
Exhaust
Remap - Dont believe it, not quick enough.
Recirc Dump Valve
R32 Brakes
18'' RS4 Alloys
Koni Fully Adjustable Suspension
Uprated Bushes etc
German Plates
Cupra Front Lip
Raised Bonnet
Black Grilles
Pics:
Cheers
