After a recent purchase I contacted my local dealer for previous service information. As usual it comes up with a comprehensive list of all the work completed, but with only the dealer codes. I've identified all the dealers apart from one. I even rang Audi UK and they said their database only...

As someone who's had the software update done I thought I'd share my experience. As far as the software that this thread was started for, the infamous "gearbox judder poor acceleration when changing gears at high revs" I was always led to believe only applied to earlier 3.2s and later cars...

Thanks, I'm still really enjoying how much better it sounds. I appreciate that a lot, as far as changes I think I've done almost all I wanted with the car, so I'll just be enjoying it and keeping it going. The A45 did make me laugh, must have seen me taking off and thought he'd join in! It...

My car has the Votex rear diffuser, the reason I fitted an S3 system was for the extra length on the tips. I didn't fancy someone cutting off the originals and lengthening them. The sound change was a completely unexpected surprise. It's not perfectly centralised in the cutout, but it's...

I've just put up a video I made showing it off, it's on my project thread. http://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/a3-3-2-8p1.245811/#post-2991870 Joe

I've been working on a short video showing how the S3 exhaust sounds. Let me know what you think. Joe

Wack a standard S3 exhaust on it. I did it to mine a few months ago and it sounds amazing! Might stick out a bit too far on a standard bumper though. Joe

What an amazing colour, I love the look of that! Good luck with your tinkering, should be a nice opportunity to put your stamp on it. Joe

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! After I took that pic I had to go back and properly clean the inner arches though, sadly it was dark when I finished though so no pic! Yeah I love the brakes, the flash of red through the wheels makes me smile every time i see it! Sad I know. I had the same...

Thanks man, really happy with how the brakes turned out. They really stop the car too! So I finally got around to finishing off the suspension refresh and installed the front struts. for what i use the car for the replacement shock inserts are perfect. Coilovers would be overkill! Not that i...

So this one is more basic maintenance with a twist rather than a mod. While rotating wheels back to front I noticed that the rear discs where looking a little worse for wear (believe they're original) , as well as the rear shocks had started to show signs of weeping. The calipers are also...

I've just customised a set of caliper clips for my 3.2, painting them myself and using the caliper stickers. Hopefully they'll last as well as JayHa11's! Joe

Thanks Jake, I've gone for MTEC drilled discs and the silver coating with Brembo pads. Still bedding them in but i definitely agree, they're definitely less harsh than the OEM option. Looking forward to trying them out properly. I'd also been looking for the pad clips, and actually stumbled on...

I'm now very curious too, as you said I had both systems side by side to check it'd fit and they are (apart from the tail pipes) visually identical. Must be quite different internally though. Definitely sounds and feels much more free flowing.

So it's been much longer than I thought since I last updated this. Car's still running beautifully and I've been tinkering as usual. Since I last updated it's had its regular oil service, a new exhaust and a full brake refresh. So lets start with the exhaust. I've always felt that the stock...
