    S3 Sump Removal and Refit (with pics)

    I did this at the weekend. This thread helped. I was lucky in that a friend is an Audi Service Manager so he managed to lend me the long ball allen key to use with the ratchet. If you can get hold of something similar it makes getting all the 20 smaller bolts a breeze. It was a 1/2 Drive with...

    Help newly acquired 2001 A3

    The temp gauge could well be the Coolant Temp Sensor. This is very common or the thermostat. Do a search for the location and see if it is green in colour. If it is black, it is likely that is the issue. They are not expensive and a 5-10 min job to replace yourself. Thermostat is more complex...

    You refer to TXT speak, but I dont see TXT speak in his posts. I see normal posting with spelling mistakes and some gramatical errors. I fully agree with you that TXT speak is annoying but this ISNT being displayed here. What if he was dyslexic? Just Dave on the blob again like he allways...

    Audi S3 or My Feet?

    See the hair may be a problem. Was it the OEM add on or aftermarket? As I have heard anything but OEM hasnt been correctly tested in a wind tunnel for drag. Unfortunately toe hair reduces the "fanny magnet" capabilities of your feet

    Depends if you look like you have been hit in the face with a shovel, or if you are a brad pitt look alike. Also MPG depends on how fat you are LOL
