    White paint on black car nightmare - HELP!

    Hi Jason I've been a Pro detailer for around 3 years now with over 8 years experience in machine polishing, I will be brutally honest with you here that it will just be trial and error to remove the damage as we don't know the chemical balance of the product that has been split onto your car...

    How does a s3 with 300/330bhp+ compare to e46 m3

    Off the mark the S3 would have the edge but as you get close towards 100mph the M3 will make up the ground no problem, I've owned a CSL and that was brutal with it having around 20hp, 30lbsft increase and around 150kg lighter than a stock E46 M3 although I have been in a fair few E46 M3's...

    Audi S3 8P rackety/tappet/diesel sound on idle

    No problem I will also post some pictures of the parts I replaced to show the wear on the tensioner guides from the poor oil and service schedule. The oil your using is better but I have swapped to 10w40 VAG specific 502/505 an that helped quieten things down too. If it is the rattle like I had...

    Audi S3 8P rackety/tappet/diesel sound on idle

    Best thing I can suggest is get a long screwdriver and place it onto the metal plate under the side of the engine cover, gearbox side and if you can hear a rattle from there that's where the camshaft chain is situated and that's the culprit bud. I'm on my iPhone at the moment but when I get to...

    Audi S3 8P rackety/tappet/diesel sound on idle

    If you can hear the diesel type sound inside of the cabin it will be your camshaft tensioner, chain and adjuster most likely. These are part of the timing service but it gets over looked as a lot do not realise there is one. I have just done mine and it cost me £390 with a fuel pump follower...

    Slightly pee'd off is an understatement!

    I would choose your repairer very wisely with any pearl content present in paint in my experience, I have been a detailer by trade for the last 6 years and have seen some rather bad attempts one recently on a Sepang Blue V10 R8 but it is now in the hands of a bodyshop I entrust all my clients...
