    Audi A5 facelift 2012 information

    Thanks for your comment! Is there anything I Should worry about with the 1.8 TFSI like timing chain and such? I am just really on the fence about them both but the price difference between the two is a bit. Also I don’t think the 1.8 gets Quattro? Honestly anything to help with buying one will...

    So it happened, any suggestions.

    Hey guys! Well today was a good day, until I went to turn my car off and I heard a slight knock through the clutch pedal. I get it when I turn the car on as well. I have read about this online and sounds like my DMF is on the way out. So, I’m on stage one power around 300. What clutch kit will...

    S3 Lowering Spings

    Interesting, I don’t actually know how many miles are on the dampers as I brought her in September last year. The car is on 100k miles so I might not have too much lee way on that front.

I have been looking online and the H&R springs appear to be the best option for what I want. which is to sit a bit lower, have some comfort for motorway drives and that, also to handle a bit better with less...

    Mixing Oil brands?

    Hi Guys, Thanks for your answers. I decided to go full Synthetic 5w30 Castrol Edge Titanium as I wanted to treat the car right. It has been running good and I noticed the engine oil temp runs a little cooler when cruising and little pulls to 60MPH (85 Degrees rather than 90), probably due to the...

    Mixing Oil brands?

    Hi everyone, I recently brought an Audi S3 8P 09 reg. I want to top up the oil, but I am a bit skeptical. I know the type is correct, 5w30, but I see two brands that could have been used before I took ownership. It could have had the Audi used Shell helix Ultra, some other brand oil or Castrol...
