Dear fellow members, I had Haldex Performance Gen 4 installed on my S3 Sportback (8PA) couple years already and loved the device all along... until recently. Because I just noticed the the remote control device (the small thing at the bottom of the picture below) is nowhere to be found. Whilst...

Glad that I found this thread... I notice the clinging noise coming from the rear left recently. The noise appears when the gear is engaged and foot off the throttle. Noise disappeared gear is moved to "Neutral" (disengaged). I suspect this is something to do with the differential, instead...

Looking from the K&N Filter website... the correct part number for Audi S3 Sportback 2.0 TFSI (8PA) panel filter should be "33-2888", is this correct? K&N 33-2888 - Replacement Filters, Replacement Air Filter

wonder what's the part number of this kit? now all you need is this... Awesome - Neuspeed 2.0T Carbon Engine cover

we have it in Hong Kong....

Got the Alcon BBK on the babe tonight.... Alcon 4-pot, 343 disc inside Rays VR G2 by Kinson.in.HK, on Flickr

I am narrowing down to Supersprint or Milltek Sport, just not sure how "loud" the Supersprint is compare to Milltek's Resionated setup and is the Supersprint worthwhile... P.S.. I prefer the "quieter" setup... so Milltek is leading now...

Need some expert advice... I have been searching for a set of BBK which can fit under the 18 x 8J Rays Volkracing G2 wheels. Whilst the Alcon Advantage Extreme is probably the best kit I may find in the market, this Mono6 kit comes with a 365 x 32mm rotor disc which is slighly too big to fit...

Not that I am trying to find an excuse, since the user handbook did mention API SM compliant oil can be used (though only as an exception only) and the MBK oil is API SM. Therefore although not 100% comfortable, I decided to give it a try. However this "non-compliance" of VW 502 standard is...

My mechanic claimed 5W40 is too think for use in the hot weather here in Hong Kong which can easily reach 36 degrees Celsius during summer. Based on his comment, 10W50, 10W60 or 15W60 are more suitable for turbo engines as these grade of engine oil offers better protection to the engine. When...

After considering the input from fellow members, shooting couple eMails around decision is made today. My beloved S3SB is going to get the Alcon 4-pot with 355x32mm rotor (provided it fits under the wheel). I did consider VWR's 6-pot, but the local dealer in HK sucks... I mean RELLY Sucks!!! and...

I liked it only because I can switch between Eco mode and Race mode. In Eco mode which aims to save fuel for highway cruising, the understeer (in Cantonese head pushing feel) is severe when I change lanes (slightly aggressively). Whereas in Race mode, changing lane are soooo smooth and the...

yes, i do plan to mod the components on the ride one-by-one... 1. in-take (thinking of BMC CDA) and exhaust (considering Super Sprint or APR Tuning) 2. ECU upgrade (currently running Stage I tuned by Bluefin) 3. BBK (VWR or Alcon is on the list if 6-pot is decided... Alcon or AP Racing if 4-pot...

corrected... thanks for that...

Have been considering an upgrade to BBK on my S3 Sportback... Whilst 6-pot is fairly common nowadays and my aftermarket wheels may house them okay. I am a bit uncertain if I really need 6-pots in this case... I, not being an aggressive driver, seldom exceed 150km/h and usually stay around...
