hey guys, i had kinda forgotten about the groupbuy :( been really busy and out of the uk last few weeks and it slipped my mind!!! I'm gonna be in singapore til the end of the month, so if people are still interested it might be best if someone else does the GB as i'm planning on...

but do the chassis numbers match, v5, service book and car?

Sorry to hear about this :( as has been said above, you need to check all the chassis numbers match, V5c, service book and car. HPI only check the reg number is clean has to be cross referenced with chassis number. You could also trying checking the mot history on the car as it could...

cheers mate , just been had another go and managed to 'persuade' it to come off. Think i'll cut a bit off too, worried about how much it scuff the side of the timing belt when pulling it past thanks!

I'm replacing the valve cover and cam chain gaskets, i've got the valve cover off and cleaned it up but i can't actually get the cam belt cover off!! I'm sure on previous 1.8t i've just unclipped then rotated it back and lifted off, it's a BAM any tips for best way to remove it?

yep it's actually really easy !!!

RE pipe, if it's bam i think it'll be 06A103213AK should think nearly £30, waste of money just do it in R6 or silicone as the others have said, if that one is bad i'd check the pcv valve and housing together with the right angle oil return also i'd find yourself a new dealer, if they can't...

Hi Dave no not ordered yet, should be looking at around £70 delivered, hopefully will order in about a weeks time, if you want one add your name to this list; S3tle 1Animal1 Thorsy22

It's a shame as dealers must throw away so many of these valve when replacing brake booster pipes, which fail on most vag cars, could go and ask one of the tech's if they could hang on to an old one for you, guess it depends how friendly/helpful your dealer is!!!! i got mine from a Skoda...

cheers guys, i'll pop into halfords

Basically just have a look at it in your car then pull it all out and it will become much clear what pipes are needed!!

Your not really gonna know until you pull the pipes out and have a look to see what is damaged. To generalise I would say all the rubber pipes will need doing, hard plastic ones checking they not too brittle, clean and check valves. Yep those are the under manifold pipes from forge, mine...

if your just changing oil+filter might wanna get a replacement sump plug too. how many miles is it on? when and what was done at service?

this is what i have used Oil return hose 3/4" 19mm R6 hot oil hose on eBay (end time 29-Aug-10 10:11:21 BST)

i have replaced it with 19mm id pipe, think the oem might be slightly smaller maybe 17/18mm id, but 19mm works perfectly well. It's about 250mm long

i had originally asked a bodyshop about painting them which was going to be about £100 for the pair, then i remembered seeing these rs4 look ones for the Mk4 Parts4Euro.com - OEM & Aftermarket European Parts & Accessories for VW, Audi, BMW, Mini & Porsche they would do them for £45...

good plan, i've got a spare set of painted ones so i'll give it a go, might do one noggy and the other 'aluminium' silver and see what comes out best!!

damn it!! there is no chance of me fitting ebay chrome ones!!! My S3's mirrors are body colour now but have been sprayed badly and need sorting out, i guess it had alu ones at some point but got nick and replaced with normal ones :-(

Hey i know this is a very covered topic but..... i can't find anywhere that sells the replica aluminium mirrors, can only find the chrome ones, which i don't like!! Looking at part numbers A4/S4 5B ones should also fit. Anyone know where i can get replica aluminium 'look' ones? and yes i did...

Those forge pipes are for the pipes under the manifold, this is the one you'd need; Forge Motorsport | Alloy Fabrication have a look on ebay there was a selling doing them for about £5 less than forge The PCV is a small valve under the manifold, the hockey puck is the PRV (pressure release...
