Hi Guys and Gals, recently bought a 2013 A5 3.0 tdi Quattro and im Looking for some new front discs but I keep coming across 3 different sizes? 314, 320 & 345? Does anyone know which ones by anychance? I have also been looking at the TDI tuning boxes has anyone any experience with these? Thank...

No mate all good on that. Now it’s abit colder the car is running mint? But leave it idle for 15 mins temp goes half way and the problems start again??

Does anyone think it could be an injector? Just strange how it’s fine when car is Cold and gets worse as the engine temp rises??

Hi mate, all brand new plugs and Coil packs. As for pump everyone goes on about don’t fit unless your getting the car mapped etc can’t say its ******** but I’m on my 8th S3 and never had a problem. Even ran my last S3 Stage 1 R-Tech map with Uprated fuel pump for 6 months like it, made 350bhp...

Hi mate, haven’t had it scanned with VCDS yet but on Carista etc there are no fault codes? Get the odd Bank 1 to lean but that’s only now and then. If I take the car out now while it’s cold will be mint when it warms up it starts to hesitate no EMl or fault codes?

Another bit of hesitation has started with the car Grrr when the car is cold drives all fine and boosts well, once it gets hot temp gauge goes past 1/4 the car starts to hesitate/hold back when giving it the beans?? I have replaced the Fuel pump with a loba as though it might be that, still...

Hi mate, did think all that, but the AUX is hanging out the bottom of the dash by the Cigarette Cubby so I’m sure it’s been like it for a while. Is there anyway or checking if it’s code locked?

Good Evening all. Haven’t long purchased another S3 and have been going through all the bits that needed doing and Im now on the RNSE. Powers up all ok with the S3 logo etc But only the radio works? Aux is active but no sound, front won’t open when eject is pressed, Sat Nav just keeps saying...

Hi peeps, Does anyone know if the APR stage 2+ map is back for sale? cheers

Thank for the Reply. Had it compression tested 140 on all cylinders and then a smoke test, smoke coming from oil filler cap and also inlet manifold area. On inspection small pipe that comes off the head down to the inlet manifold had broken off. Repaired and put back on and now car is perfect :)...

Hi Guys & Gals, I just purchased a 2007 S3 that has a very bad miss fire. Was hopping it was something easy but doesn’t look that way at the moment. It has a very bad miss fire and won’t idle or anything, constantly hunting and missing. I have replaced the Coils, plugs, pcv & MAF sensor But...

Hi guys thanks for the help, took them all out and checked all the same size, cleaned all the holes out incase they didn’t seat properly and all ok, sounds like it’s coming from the back on the engine as stand infront of the car you can’t hear it, stand by the drivers door you can??? Very strange

Thanks for the reply but nothing was removed bar the engine cover as the plugs are smack bang infront of you. I didn’t bit torque then down no, I done them up and then nipped them tight?

They are genuine Bosch bought from my local motor factors, but you reckon changing them back could help the problem?

Hi guys and gals, hope somone can help me out here. been getting Cyl No 2 Glow plug open circuit fault for a few weeks so yesterday decided to change the glow plugs. Changed out all 4 for Bosch plugs checked and all the same length etc, fitted no probs. Went to start the car and it wouldn’t...
