You are right John. Sorry I was referring to the chain on the other side. I have only ever seen or heard of failures on the other engine variants with regards to chain. Not the CLDA for some reason. Take care

Welcome Rhys. I have not long become an S3 owner too. Got mine in late 2019. It's a 2010 model with about 65k on the clock. Couldn't refuse with that mileage!!. I think it depends on what engine you have in your S3 in terms of reliability. I have worked in the Volkswagen Audi group for a good...

They run fairly rough with the oil cap off let alone a PCV pipe. So pretty normal if I'm right in assuming your a bit worried about how it sounded when you ran it with the pipe off. They are heavy breathers. Same with the Gen 3 EA888 engines too.

Hi I hope you're all well! I recently fitted an Xtrons android head unit to my 8p s3 2010 facelift and noticed when I first opened the box that it comes with a Quadlock to ISO adapter however the original plug on my car IS a Quadlock so ideally I need a Quadlock to Quadlock loom but I am unable...

Edit sorry, Didn't read properly! - I work for the VW Audi group and can confirm you can fill it with g13 on an engine that was filled with G12 from factory. Not too sure about mixing as I haven't done this. I Don't know what the difference is with them both but at a guess I would've thought G12...

Awesome. Thanks guys. Abit apprehensive about the clutch seeing as i'll have to upgrade it. Hopefully it's not too uncomfortable to drive with an uprated clutch. Time to save up!

I have been looking into potentially going stage 2 plus with my S3 and was wondering if there is anyone on here that are at stage 2 plus and could maybe provide some insight into what it has been like since the stage 2 plus in terms of driveability, Also reliability. Any known issues? Things to...

Sorry I posted on the wrong post. Had multiple tabs open. I can confirm that the part number you gave is correct for the BZB engine. Doesn't appear to be possible to order water pump on its own. Comes with the regulator. Both are common for leaking anyway so I imagine that'll be why it comes all...

Thanks mate. All the best

Does anyone know if 2010 facelift s3 has the issue with oil pick up and the cam follower or was that for older engine revisions? Thanks

Hi everyone I hope you're all well!. I am a new member to the forum and a new owner of an 8p Audi S3 Sportback as of last week. I'm really enjoying this car however I noticed a little blip a few times when driving. The clutch pedal sticks down briefly when changing gear. It also happened today...
