    Are they replacing the motor or the ECU controller?

    Oil Leaked

    To be fair to them, once we'd pointed out to them that the bolts were loose (my Dad spotted that at least 2 of them weren't even finger tight) they pulled their finger out and got it sorted the same day. They've assured me that theres no damage to the engine, but got them to put in writing that...

    Oil Leaked

    Turns out the dealer hadn't bothered to tighten the bolts that hold the timing chain tensioner in place when they replaced it before Christmas. Another top quality bit of service!!

    Tech letter - xenon motors

    Took me 8 visits to my local dealer to get this fixed on mine. After I finally managed to convince them there was actually a problem (visit number 5 i think) they repeatedly told me that it definitely wouldn't be the motor, until they ran out of other ideas and chaged the motor.

    Oil Leaked

    Driving home from work this evening, glanced in the mirror and thought there seemed to be a bit of smoke coming out the back of the car, took a second look and everything seemed normal, so thinking i'd maybe just driven past a bonfire or something, carried on with the car running normally right...

    free ipods???

    Jungle, I wouldn't go giving my credit card details to the ipodsgiveaway website, but screenselect is a well know dvd rental place and I know people who use them without and trouble, so I cant see cancelling the account being a problem

    free ipods???

    Just to backup why I think this might work:- The screenselect affiliates program will be giving them at least £10 for each person they sign up. So your own signup + the 9 you refer is £100. Amazon are currently selling them for £139, so I guess if they're buying in bulk (maybe from the...

    MAF cleaning question

    Just been out in it again and it seems to be going as well as it did when I first got it, so think the new MAF can wait a while. My audi dealer has finally fixed my headlight leveling problem, after only 7 visits! so i'm back to being a happy S3 owner (apart from the slight rattle and creaking...
