    Tyres

    I’m concerned how long these are rumoured to last... some on here have said only 6k? Surely that’s wrong? I have some crossclimate+ which I highly recommend but the PS4S apparently have better grip, so for me it comes down to longevity between the two. I’ve gone from 7-3mm in around 14k over...

    Had a little prang and thoughts change to tyres

    Steering locks

    I just about managed it but recently upgrade to the new Stoplock Pro Elite version with a deeper bend for newer steering wheels and it works great. Retails £60ish, highly recommended.

    Pedal box worth it?

    I might get one to try, if it solves the issue then might change insurer otherwise I'd have to pay the £30 restocking fee within the first 14 days.

    Pedal box worth it?

    Hmm, was looking at this due to throttle lag on my 8v S3 but RAC insurance have flatly refused to add it - it's down as a modification from stock :(

    Facelift S3 BE FL 66 plate - EPC warning light loss of power .. Not even 12 months old

    Just gone into extended warranty after the issues I had with it. Wrt the boost I got the usual "we can't find anything wrong", "characteristics of the car" and "likely related to your driving" excuse. Essentially when I put my foot down (sudden change) it seems to take a big gulp, pause...

    Facelift S3 BE FL 66 plate - EPC warning light loss of power .. Not even 12 months old

    I had this in my s3, turned out to be an injector and a subsequent coil pack. We're/had you been driving hard? It's a common issue in the high rev range. Mine's mostly fixed but my boost has never been the same since... Hope you get it sorted, R

    Stoplock pro

    I use a stop lock pro with a microfibre cloth between it and the 8v s3 steering wheel, works really well imo.

    Facelift ESP/ESC Malfunction Help !

    When the injector went it was a violent judder then the yellow light went on and I'd lost most of the power. When the coil pack went, it was fine for careful driving at low revs but was exacerbated violently at 4-5k plus and much worse under acceleration.

    Facelift ESP/ESC Malfunction Help !

    Imo that's the car going into limp mode. Under similar conditions I've had an injector go and a coil pack go at separate times within the last year. From my research on here it's a common issue with this engine at high revs. Since it it intermittent with yourself it's likely more the coil...
