Evening all!

Tomorrow I may be purchasing a 2002 Audi A3 1.8T Sport from a mechanic who solely works on my current car when I take it in at a Mercedes Independent garage.

I currently own a frankly superb W202 C250 Turbo Diesel which has done me well for 100k miles in the last 4 years however with ULEZ being introduced in the London CC Zone next year I unfortunately have to sell her. The owner of the MB Independent wanted dibs so he's buying her off me as he'll lookafter the car and knows first hand how much she's worth as I have exhaustively maintained her to the highest standards, having had a recent spread in Mercedes-Benz Owners Magazine (This year bills have cost me almost £3500 alone for subframe bushes, engine hydromounts, etc etc.

So...the upcoming car. Its a 1.8T Sport 3 door, just ticked over 100k miles and has had the following done:

(This is a long list...)


Front shocks
Rear shocks
Rear trailing arm bushes
Front lower ball joints
Front lower arms rear bushes
Cat (Meow lol)
Back box plus custom tips
Removed center exhaust box
Radiator
Radio/sub/rear speakers and tweets
4x Hancock tyres
Front antiroll bar bushes
S3 spoiler
Led up grade interior lights
Xenon side lights
New Bosch S5 battery
Dump valve
Cam case breather valve
K and n air filter
Ecu remap
4x coil packs
Air mass sensor
N/75 valve x2
Full service x2
Platnium spark plugs
Pollon filter
Fuel Filter
Gear box oil
Resealed gear box sump pan
Rear floor mats
S3 pedals
Timing belt and water pump
N/S track rod
Air conditioning re gas
O/S window regulator
Rear seat rail cover
Number plates and carriers
Led number plate lights
Boost guage
4 bar FPR
N/S/F outer CV Boot
O/S/F outer cv boot
O/S/F inner CV Boot
N/S/R seat belt
Cam cover gasket
Oil pressure switch

... And that's it. There's a lot of parts he's giving me with it including a K04 turbo... The car itself is in very good condition, I look after my cars well so he's happy it's going to a good home.

I'll post and update once I have the car... Cheers for reading...!

Amongst the huge 2 boxes of spares given, I've been given a K04 turbo with manifold (turbo needs to be refurbished), and a set of 4 S3 Calipers...

She drives well, although the remap is Very messy, is there anyone who can either install the old default map back or able to modify the current map?

I also need a stock air filter housing and pipework as there is a huge K&N on the car which is just picking up warm air... Not ideal.

Also need to get rid of the breather filters and refit the factory Crankcase ventilation pipes, as I do mostly motorway miles so nothing will clog or coke up.
