Cheers Oh Just noticed it has double glazing too!:huh:

I've ended up buying one. Had it for a week now and am really pleased with it. Spoke to the previous owner (I bought it from a dealer) and its sounding more and more like a good one. Full audi history and also had mods done by Unit 20. Has bilstein pss9's, hotchkiss ARB, plus discs, forge...

Not yet. Had shot of a heavily tweaked 535d and to be honest its hard to fault that as a contender. I like the 525d and seeing what's capable with the 535d power/torque wise it could tempt me to stay with RWD and potential running cost savings! Will all depend on whether I sell mine and if I...

I just fitted an s3 subframe to my golf. The basic subframe is the same and you can swap the brace at the bottom over to a golf one. I think all subframes A3,S3, TT are the same but the TT convertable has even more bracing. I sold on my golf one for £20 !!! Seen a few on ebay going for...

Yep sorry guys this is for the C5 All this talk of warranty's made me take one out on the BMW. So its now an even better buy for anyone wanting a quality rear drive car with 42mpg plus ability. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1256055.htm RS6 is def a serious contender as a replacement now.

Loads of info on rs246 forum and I'm slightly more convinced it's not that bad. Sure if it goes wrong its going to be expensive but I think the idea is to avoid DRC cars unless under warranty and a recent change of discs/pads and tyres would be even better.

Been reading a few topics on the cost to maintain one of these cars and it has really put me off. I see the DRC is one of the big issues but if this has been removed and replaced with more conventional suspension like H&R or Bilsteins is the ride any worse? Last thing I want is a money pit...

Just fitted an S3 front subframe to our golf and as far as I can tell the track is the same but part of the reason I did it was for the better wishbones as well as the quicker steering rack. There is some adjustment in the golf balljoint for camber but not as much as the s3 ones. Try...

Thanks guys. Thats just the kind of website I need...saved to favourites! I've emailed the breakers and will see if they come back with similar part numbers. :icon_thumright: PS I'm assuming the tt 225 and s3 racks are the same ratio?

Is there an online way to check part numbers for Audi's? Looking to get either an S3 8l steering rack or one from the TT 225. Needs to be the quick rack version. Seen a few for sale on ebay recently but am wary as there are a lot saying TT racks are all the same and I know the lesser models...

Was wondering if anyone on here bought my S3 from a dealer recently??

Was a UDM and Menzerna Intensive polish. think product code was RD3.02. Found its best to concentrate on getting one panel right at a time rather than trying to rush to get the whole car done half heartedly.

After getting reasonable results with Poorboys SSR2.5 I was always left dissapointed. Car waxes up quite nice but in sunlight the swirls are still there. So I paid a visit to PB and was given some products designed for german paint and the improvements were really worth the effort! Was very...

I suspect you may have washed your car and it's then frozen over. Thats what happened to me. Glad it worked for you:icon_thumright: As for sitrials sounds more serious and hope its not too much hassle to fix. Electrical faults can be a real pain. My Pug 205 drive's me nuts:wacko:

Check the 20 amp fuse. I think its in position 33. Mine blew when we had sub zero temps up here and the pop ups had frozen to the bumper. New fuse and they've been fine ever since. Worth a check and cheap!
