Cheers, will have a look tomorrow and see if I can spot it. Been looking for replacements and found 2.. On GSF they are £84.53 inc vat and post. I found them searching for "lambda" through A3 option. On Eurocarparts I found the Bosch one, which is much cheaper at £55. Link here Not sure...

Yeah, I'm also probably going to need to buy a new sensor, so Im also on the look out as to where to get one. I got an engine managment light yesterday and did a scan and got 2 codes: 17524 - Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor Heating; B1 S1: Open Circuit P1116 - 35-00 - - 17511 - Oxygen...

One of the nicest S3's I've seen! Are them wheels sprayed satin black? Toying with the idea of them wheels on my A3, but not sure if it would work.

What a good thread! Just read most of the 3 pages and it's very interesting. Well done with the work, I admire your skills and thanks for sharing.

Would be interested to see how it looked. My car is Grey and I'm considering getting some RS4's and spraying them matt or satin black, but its hard to imagine if it would look good. :shrug: What do you think? Black RS4's on a Grey 1.8T? Sorry to hijack your thread by the way:blush:

Awesome! That guide seems a lot better and some good pictures. I will have another go tomorrow when its light. Thanks once again!

I am just trying to change the Temp Sender, but I can't find the thing! :huh: http://www.wak-tt.com/tempsensor/tempsensor.htm I am using this guide, but I can't seem to find it. Will my sensor be in a different place? Anyone help?

Cool, cheers for the help! Much appreciated! I will give PSI a call and book my car in :) I also noticed they do CC remaps which is tempting!

Thanks for the link Gavin! Nice website and they seem like a decent place, have you dealt with the them before, are they good? You think its worth traveling the 60 mile, or getting somewhere closer to me. The only place I know is the Audi Dealer about 2 miles away and I'm guessing they will be...

Ok the previous owner says the water pump wasn't done :( Its due for its service in 1000mile (my first with the car). Does anyone know the rough cost to get the water pump changed? Do you think I should get the service done now and the water pump changed or wait? Also whats the cost of a...

According the service book, the cambelt was done at 80K and my car is on 89K. I just emailed the previous owner to see if the waterpump was done at the same time. Could it be the thermostat? Also has anyone used that oil I linked to? Cheers.

Hi, After a bit of advice please, done a bit of searching, but not really sure. 1. Right had my A3 1.8T Sport since end of December, but just in the last week or 2 the temp gauge has crept above 90 to around 95.:unsure: Checked the coolant level and that seems fine. What other things could it...

Has he definately had the car nearly 8 months just sat there? Seems like a long time. I'd give it a thorough check over, test-drive and make sure its HPI clear before hand your cash over. As for MPG, on mine I'm averaging about 36mpg, but I am not really driving conservatively haha. I think if...

Yeah definately! You going to go for the A3 then? :yes: I was in a similar situation as you between the A3 and the Golf, but I went for the A3 and don't regret it at all. Had mine a couple of weeks and love it! Mines very similar to the one in your picture although its a gunmetal grey colour.

Very nice car! Never seen one in that colour but I really like it!
