I do mean diff, I want to swap the whole unit in, not take it apart for just the clutch assembly. Its not the pump, and code aligns with clutch failure.

My 16' S3 has a bad rear diff clutch, and a local wrecker has a complete diff from a 16' S3, or a complete rear diff from a 17'TT. Not wanting to put another 2016 diff back in, would the 17' TT have the same rear? The wrecker said its part code PYP...

Been awhile since I posted anything.. My rear dif cratered on my 2016 S3 last year. Audi claimed it was the rear haldex clutch assembly, pump, possibly controller, based on the codes (although they didn't open up the diff or pull the pump). Car was flagged because of stage 2 tunes, so I'm...

Yeah, car still has a half of its bumper to bumper, but I was flagged td1 for my tune. I noticed issues with it, but didnt get it looked at until after I tuned it. Ah well. Funny thing is, all of my previous VW's that were tuned, no issue for warranty on anything that was common. Thanks for...

Does anyone have the part numbers for the rear diff/ clutch assembly, or an etka style blow up parts chart? 16' S3 Im starting to look for my replacement parts on my kaplooey rear diff that Audi isn't fixing, and Im sitting 9 hours away from where my car is stored. Thanks!

Been having a lot of issues with my haldex , lack of power to rear, lots of fwd tire spin, took it into the dealership, and was told my rear clutch assembly is shot, and they recommend replacing the pump and controller as well. td1'd my car, so no warranty. Yep. among other things... Anyways...

Best by far. Quality materials, easy install, won't damage dash pad or trim, very sturdy. Dont regret buying it one bit!

And sometimes sounds like a back fire from engine bay. Ive checked my v-band to ensure its not loosened off. The only other thing I can think is loose turbo? Id assume Id get some codes if that were the case though.

So, I noticed right after going stage 2, and CTS catted DP on my 16' S3, that I get this obnoxious engine bay sound at higher RPMs. Sounds good until about 4k rpm, then just eww. Haven't had a chance to really figure out what it is, as I'm back at work, thought I'd ask if anyone else ran into...

I work 21/7's (sometimes longer) so I spend a good chunk of my time off, working on the car. The last set I had off a couple weeks ago, I had some goodies to install! Not seen, is Unitronic Stage 2 ECU and TCU upgrade. We couldnt get the car up high enough, so I found a place that has daily...

Thought I'd make a thread on my car, and add my updates here! All work was done by me unless otherwise noted. So, onto details: back in July, traded my 15 GLI on a 16 S3 base. And I mean base. No back up cam, no push start.... Immediately, I did: -H&R Super sport springs -RS3 grill -Res...

Wasn't today, but last set of days off I did a CTS Turbo catted DP, upgraded from Unitronic 1+ ecu tune to Uni Stage 2 ECU and TCU, CTS Turbo torque arm insert. Annnnnd then my haldex sh!t the bed, and my car is pretty much full time fwd right now. didn't even have a chance to launch with the...

I agree, the Audi S3 key is noticeably bigger than what my 15' GLI had. The kessy system in my GLI was great. The fact my preowned model S3 had an option for similar features, and the original buyer didn't get it, annoys the **** out of me. I thought I'd get over it, but nope. That and sans...

So true! If I could keep the volume and tone that my car has now with just the res delete, after installing my catted DP, Id be smitten.

This was a hot topic when I asked lol. To date, no one has confirmation that it has been done, although one forum user said there's a retrofit company in **** saying they can do it, but he wouldn't provide any info of the company. I have a master tech friend here putting together a hardware...
