    A3 3.2 remap advice and fuel talk

    Yours looks looks pretty mint mate, thought about body upgrades on mine but I want to swap it in for something more powerful soon so can't justify the money. I don't see 30 out of mine often, but my daily drive is 4 mile each way across a city centre so... To be expected really and I don't try...

    Open Pitlane Thruxton upcoming - Do's and Dont's?

    Interesting, I get the concept but wouldn't have thought it was that much. Thinking about it I usually pump my tyres very early into a drive, probably worth checking what the difference is though, got a 6,000 mile road trip across Europe this summer and there will be some long lush roads in there

    Open Pitlane Thruxton upcoming - Do's and Dont's?

    Just been having a nosey at this thread - I was wondering why the drop in tyre pressure beforehand? Is it just a case of heat expansion? 24 seems a little low is all I'm thinking (but what do I know, I've never done a track day in a car of my own) Cheers, Mike

    A3 3.2 remap advice and fuel talk

    Thought I'd give this an update So after the awful weather recently I'd lost the back end twice at relatively low speeds (eg I wasn't driving erratically, but by the same token with passengers I'd probably have been going 10mph slower) and so the car has been in and out of garages 3 times in the...

    A3 3.2 remap advice and fuel talk

    When you replace the lambda sensors can you take a few photos, it's on my "thinking about doing" list. Just got off the phone with Sunset Derby (VAG specialists), £85 for the latest software update providing there's an issue registered with the version on it... Otherwise they can't get the code...

    A3 3.2 remap advice and fuel talk

    Never had an issue at the lights - never been beaten when I've been going for it lol. Mine doesn't have a flat spot at 2,000. In fact if I'm crawling in traffic (10mph or so), 2nd gear and it hits the 2,000rpm mark whilst constant throttle, it kicks you in the back which is a tad dangerous if...

    A3 3.2 remap advice and fuel talk

    Interesting.... I wonder whether a map would clear this issue or not? I'm aware of the software 2,000rpm issue, the 2000rpm itself is the only symptom I'm aware of... This maybe something different to what your talking about though. I've driven an 07 a3 (Audi wanted 10k for it) and that felt a...

    A3 3.2 remap advice and fuel talk

    I was wondering if there was anyone out there that had bothered remapping their vr6? I know the quoted gains are pretty poor, but I was considering it as my throttle response is a tad excitable, making pulling off at a reasonable speed a bit jerky.... Don't get me wrong, if I want to have...

    A3 3.2 8p Self service

    Mines just come back from MOT with Audi specialist (convenience more than anything as its a 4 min walk from my flat) failed on headlight aim, number plate bulb and tyre below legal limit (I know it wasn't, but either way I know the fronts needed replacing). Apart from that minor leak from...

    A3 3.2 8p Self service

    Sound, I'm sure I'll find the right size when I come to it. I'm presuming this should be fairly simple, the last car I self serviced was a little 1159cc Clio years ago, but how hard can it be right?

    A3 3.2 8p Self service

    I saw on an American thread that it's a 36mm socket for the sump, does that sound right? I'll try the parts request tomorrow - just looked but don't have vn/chassis number to hand and sod going out now to look. Ah yes, forgot the sodding air filter... It's been a long day of uni work, but hey...

    A3 3.2 8p Self service

    Cheers lad, they didn't do a full kit, but it priced up at £115 for 6 plugs, 6L of oil, k&n oil filter and a polen filter. Not sure if you'll know or not, but I've seen on another thread somewhere when doing the oil chance on the vr6 the seal ought to be replaced on the oil sump - but I can't...

    A3 3.2 8p Self service

    Hello, I'm new here, although been reading posts for a long time. It's that time of year when the old girl needs a service, but frankly I can't afford to splash out £391 for 6 plugs, filters and oil - so I'm planning on doing it myself over Easter weekend when I go back to my dad's (living in a...
