So, I’ve been having a few running issues of late, bit of a lumpy cold start and a rough idle once it’s come off cold. I’ve been doing some investigating and I think it’s maybe something to do with the PCV area. I can hear the sucking sound from the separator and the exhaust note is slightly...

What downpipe did you fit instead of the GPFs if you don't mind me asking ? What did you do about the pressure and temperature sensors ? Chris.

Dan, have you seen anyone replace the GPFs with two euro6 cats and delete the first cat ? Looking at Wagners downpipe and mid pipes for the DAZA they have this setup but don't offer similar for the dnwa (i.e with the extra sensor bosses). Chris.

There's a screw in the top corner iirc and then be brave and give them a good pull out. I had the bumper off at the time so could push from behind too. They're a "good fit" ! Chris.

Thought I had pics of the bags they came in but can't be sure as they sent me non S3 ones initially (blanked off) but a quick search on ebay : 8V3807682QESM 8V3807681AE ESM Double check those though. Chris.

Did the black edition swap on mine last year. £160 to wrap the window surrounds , bought a genuine grille and side grilles from TPS and painted the rear valance parts in BE colours. Carbon mirrors and black rings. Job done. Chris.

It passed in the end ;) Chris.

Mine did this today. It will only hold a fast idle for a certain time. I didn't time it but I'd say around 30-40s ? Mine wouldn't pass the fast idle either. I have stage 2 map with a Milltek catted downpipe. Have the emissions test limits got tighter for newer cars or something ? Was yours not...

Bridgend South Wales ? Chris.

19k out of conti AO for me. Chris.

You from around there then ? From Merthyr myself. Chris.

I did my front plate just to take the edge of the white when I blacked everything out. Mate put a few drops of black in clear lacquer and sprayed the plate. You can do it so its not too dark. Mine was in combe. Chris.

I did the black edition swap recently and decided to buy a genuine grille and side grilles instead of painting. The front takes a hammering and my painter mate said he'd rather not paint it as it would just end up looking very second hand very quickly. I think I paid £250 for the grille and £40...
