Waterpump and thermostat housings.....are the parts quite expensive?Thermostat housings.
No problem really, fit myself so not too badAbout 300 ish for bits but 5- 6 hours labour. £700-800 all in at indi
Thanks, i have vcds, will take it with me, much appreciated mate.Misfires. if you dont have VCDS get yourself an OBD port dongle and an app like torque pro. Run a test which will examine all the driving data. Check the average misfire counts on all cylinders for the last 10 drives. This value should be low, like 10 or less, on each cylinder. If its more that might indicate a problem that can be notoriously difficult to find.
THANKS.l have had 2 S3's over the last 6 years 59k miles and have not any problems at all.....S3 cabs are not normally used as daily drivers,casual daily use by the the Wife....etc etc buy the best you can afford would be my advice....
The S3 Cab is the Saloon but only with roof cut off basically....Saloon and Cab come with Magnetic Dampers and 19s as standard which combined with a wider wheel base makes it handle that bit better than the Hatchbacks....Cab is a Classy looker but they dont come with Black styling pack....Exterior matte aluminum/chrome embellishments onlyTHANKS.
Would like a cab, sold the A5 cab around 4 months ago..... But i am considering the saloon/hatchback too, mileage below 70k..... Also would like to know what lowering kit people are using and what size wheel spacers too.
I used H&R lowering springs on my A5.... Would love to see the s3 sitting above the wheel arch but only just, with around a mm or so from the tyre.

From experience of having an engine go 'pop' on my old A3 8PDoes the s3 (8v)
Suffer from chain/tensioner failures like the older 8p model?
