    Dom's 2007 Audi S3 8P

    Its a refurb unit, I presumed the old K04 was knackered. Still, £600. Compared to a TTE which I wouldn't spend the money out on. Luckily I am a great believer in '**** happens' haha. 'Enjoy' Hmm, I don't think I've drove this car more than 100 miles since its map. Its a driveway ornament at...

    Dom's 2007 Audi S3 8P

    Forgot to ever update this thread. Its a pleasing end to the build however. Last month that £600 Turbo that raised a few eyebrows.... Yes that one.. Well, it smashed 420bhp. Great job done by R-Tech on the mapping side. Unbelievable in fact. Its seen the Nurburgring a couple of times now...

    Well, I haven't popped back on here for a while. It all has gone well so far, the car is back together, and just ticked over its 1000 mile running in period. TTS Roadsport did a brilliant job on fitting the engine, Shaun's work was top class, kept me informed and up to date and took a few good...

    vag com accepting codes but not making any changes to the car

    You've got the right cable, can you post up the step by step changes you're trying to make? Have you made sure the AUX function is not already available?

    What cable are you using? Have you tried clicking for the Aux function on the head unit?

    How will the US emissions scandal affect UK A3 owners?

    I think Leshkin has a point here, and a very good one. Stocks fell 20% first day, almost 18% second day. Thats nearly 33% give or take so far overall compared to the start of the week. Taking a look at the figures, and the boom and bust of the car industry, it would be worth investing in. One...

    SPOTTERS THREAD FOR A3/S3 8P CHASSIS

    Gents, sorry to **** on your bubbles, but take it from someone who knows a bit about both. My S3 was 334bhp, and 497nm torque, and I can happily say that it was quicker to 130 than the M3 was, albeit it was the E93 M3 which was roughly 300kg heavier than the E92. Have you ever drove an M3, and...

    Thanks Alex, as I will keep saying, your setup is a step above any other car i've seen on here so far, and I dread to think how much it has cost. If I had the money, I would follow your route with the bigger Turbo's etc. One thing I won't accept is coming up short against the TTE420, in reality...

    APR upgrades are out now!

    This is nothing new, a lot of tuning companies have been offering such a service. Back in February/March, Doug at MRC mentioned it to me. I was really intrigued as my friend had it on his RS4. The downside of the LC, and main one in my opinion, it'll severely reduce the life of your drivetrain...

    Turbo's here.. I went for a Hybrid K04, and not the obvious choice of the TTE420. Ross who has helped carry out the build with me contacted his Turbo builder (Craig, now of TDI Turbo's) and eventually we went for this spec; Re-Profiled Compressor Housing 51.00mm Inducer - 62.00mm Exducer &...

    audi a3 bhp... stumped

    If the OP wants to reject the car, he must act ASAP. In my experience, no more than 14-21 days after the car sale. Yes you are completely correct on the moral principle of it though. OP, do you have any update?

    You've paid for a 170, that was advertised as the better engine, under the trades description and sales of goods and services act 1979, you are entitled to either reimbursement of the rough price difference or depending on the circumstances, reject the car altogether. Yes, all. Evans Halshaw...

    Give me a message if you need any help with court papers or preparing a court case. I've taken BMW, Evans Halshaw and a small dealership to court over cars, I tend to know what I'm talking about.
