Hey Vala, I am having the exact same issue as you have described! However I am struggling to see the part you are referring to. Can you annotate or zoom in and screen shot on the image the part I would need to check out. Thanks in advance!

Any guru’s know where to start with this one? Symptoms... Car bucks / jerks around 1 - 3k RPM occasionally, almost feels like a misfire but no codes for misfires at all. Its very noticeable. Past 3k always runs perfect. This has been happening a while but took some time for this code to appear...

Hi Guys, For some time now I have been trying to figure out what has been causing a harsh "judder /hesitation / jerking" sensation that occurs when accelerating from the 2k to 3k RPM range, the car will drop revs quickly and recover, the rpm needle will jump very quickly a few degrees. All the...

Brilliant thanks for the tip :) what a coincidence lol. I am sure you will like it here, the Manx are a friendly bunch. If you are bringing your car over here it will go through something called ‘The Manx’ it’s like an MOT, but once it’s done and has it’s Manx number plates you are laughing...

Thanks for the response Abi, luckly where I live (Isle of Man) there is no such thing as an MOT :) if your car has 4 wheels it is allowed to be on the road lol. Granted the police check clearly dodgy vehicles but things like wear sensors do not flag up as problems. Cool I will give bridging...

Hi Folks, I have a set lovely Brembo UV coated discs and sport pads on the way for my S3 8P facelift 2010 model. Now I am pretty sure the cars current pads have wear sensors on them, these new Brembo pads (from the images on the website) don’t look like they come with them. They are correct...

Yeah the noise for me is probably where I am most concerned, I don’t mind it going a bit louder than what it is now but I don’t want to be that person who makes a load of noise driving around towns. Sport cat sounds like it could be a more sensible option. Out of curiosity what sport cats have...

Probably my second post here :) relativley new to the forum and being an Audi owner! I am considering a decat option for my 2010 S3 8P. The car already has a Miltek Cat back system and is stage 1 re-mapped. Looking to get the forums opinion on decatting. Pros / Cons and even better some...

I am going to see how I get on over the next week with it, if the car isn’t quite right I will likely swap for the original filter. I plan on doing the remap end of the year when my insurance is up (Admiral won’t cover re-maps :grumpy:). Interesting point about the MAF possibly needing to be...

Hi Stuart, Many thanks for the response, is you vehicle DSG? I experienced some harsh (auto) gear changes with my vehicle when putting my foot down. Just wondering if the MAS will be reacting strangley to all this new air flow? Cheers, James

Hi Folks, My first post on this forum :) Glad to join you all! So much useful stuff on here, I am the owner of an Audi S3 2010 2.0 Turbo DSG. I recently purchased a Ram Air oversized stage 2 Induction kit for my car and installed it with the intention of later getting an engine re-map. Now...

Hi mate, My S3 is the none Bose model (sadly!!) so it’s not something I have come across. I would imagine their are some threads online about it and I am sure it can be solved, sounds like the other wiring is causing some electro interfereance on the antena at the back of the unit, sounds like...

Hi Sam, You shouldnt have to cut any wires. Did the kit come with the adapter for the ariel conversion? The multi coloured cables are usually for connecting the unit to things like the reverse sensors and that. I would do some basics, have you managed to get the unit to power on yet? I have...
