Hi thanks for the feedback i haven't noticed any other oil recently but I will get it checked out. Do you know what the pipe with all the tape wrapped around it (in the photo?) Yes indeed it's the face lift version of the Audi 8P

Hi Curtis sorry only just noticed you'd replied my engine is a CDL Engine what is yours and was it an expensive / difficult thing to fix? Regards

I'm seeing a spot of oil on my drive looks like a small patch and the oil looks a bit dirty if that makes sense at all? Oil consumption doesn't seem too high for age of the car 2010. It appears to be gathering in the left hand side i'm unable to get the undertray off but it's leaking out of it...

Hello, just to update this I found the issue. Unfortuantely I ruled out a boost leak by during a vcds test of requested + actual boost pressure. Because I was getting the requested I *ASSUMED* it wasn't possible to have a boost leak... As this issue became worse under full load I should have...

Hi Samuel Forgive me if i'm wrong but was the MK6 golf not the same as the s3 8p face lift? Thanks for that part number :)

Thanks so much for those links! Do you have a part number for the green o'ring? Also is this easy to do DIY? Is it all within reach from top of the engine or am I going to need to get the car up on the ramps? I searched so much on yourtube for s3 8p turbo outlet and see no videos with this and...

Seems leak in the turbo outlet pipe that connects to the charge pipe from the turbo. Where can I get a replacement for this? is it easy enough to DIY, or do you need to access it from under the car? I know it comes as muffler delete but i don't care enough to muffler delete if all i get is...

Sorry Samuel I was just a bit frustrated with this fault as usually you find so much information on the internet or a forum search.. However every search i've found people have it and never post what actually fixed this error - it seems quite uncommon too. I learnt a lot about fuel trims over...

Anyone? :bye: I can find nothing online about p2178... I don't understand how the short term fuel adjustment goes to high - % when I use throttle. If it was a boost leak it wouldn't be apparent while i'm rev'ing in N as in N gear the turbo doesn't spool, right? I confirm that also by recording...

Hello All I hope some people here can help me out as I like to do this myself than to leave with a garage who will probably just throw parts at it and do more guess work. Money is a little tight and I do like working on problems myself anyway. Brief history S3 2011, CDL Engine, DSG 6 speed...

Hi Thanks for response yes seen that article and to be honest I looked at a few of the things that I suspected would cause it I don't know any of the cars previous history or if it's remapped but I suspect it might be.. I know there is some blocks I can check for requested and actual boost...

Hi All Previously I was getting P0441 and P0172 thanks to your advice I replaced both carbon canister and the n80/evap valve and resolved the P0441. I am still getting the P0172 and hope you can help - it sends engine into limp mode occassionally when I use WOT. Some back ground information -...

Hoping you all had a Merry Christmas! Thanks for the advice, is the 2011 8P s3 the CDLA engine? I replaced the n80 - I bought a cheap £14 off amazon and feel it may have been a mistake ? I still get the same two codes coming and car going into limp mode but the alerts are only pending.. I...

Hello, I've been getting y P0441 error - Evaporative Emission System Incorrect Purge Flow It causes a Engine Management Light to come on. If I reset it it usually goes away for a week or two but has started coming back. Today I was driving and noticed the car felt lifeless , almost like there...

Just wanted to let you know I changed both these on a newly acquired S3 8P,with around 80k miles , not sure if either were done previously but no evidance of such. Service book states in the service book that just the haldex oil (i assume the filter wasn't done) by the previous owner at 53k...
