Hiya, i think i found the issue. botched exhaust rubbing on prop when at certain angle/load

Good afternoon all. I have just purchased a 2011 s3 dsg sportback, its going well, however after some short spirited driving, when the gearbox is engaged and the engine is on overrun and turning left, ie: entering a roundabout, it gives this awful noise from the front left area, it sounds like a...

OP, didnt have his original question answered, im looking for the same answer.

Quick getaways and a quicker sale. Will stick to the old models with less "electronics"

Need live data readings, have you checked the wiring loom for a break or bad connection?

It wont matter, the claim will be there and the only difference will be the overall cost of the claim if you dont opt to have your vehicle repaired. It will need to be declared for 5 years and WILL raise your premium, especially if you were found to be at fault. i have a non-fault claim on mine...

Yes too much money spent there to have it written off. Brand new vauxhall eh.. Say no more. :culpability:

sometimes whiplash can take a few days to present itself, if they do write it off, hopefully you can buy it back cheaply and repair yourself. Any pics of the offending vehicle? Your right about throwaway society etc. I once had an A6 v6 tdi written off for a dented door, i wouldnt mind but it...

I was going to say "just use any old screw for the glovebox hinge"

Surprised they didnt write it off, tailgate, bumper, trim, paint etc.. any whiplash?

Hes probably on about the reg plate style but nowadays the coppers dont pull anybody. They dont bother anymore. Unless you come across a miserable ****!! I do like the rear lights.

Having a little think about what the issue was, I think i know what it was. I had a bad oil leak from that area, covering the gearbox in oil. It was leaking from the small oilway that transfers oil onto the cam lobe & fuel pump follower via a cylindrical shaft inside the housing, (see pics...

Hi. The rattle happens during over run. At low revs. was very loud and worrying it was like flywheel clatter. I put it all back together and the rattle has gone. It doesnt do it anymore. I think it was the vacuum pump. From all the videos i watched on the web of tfsi camchain noise. None of them...

Afternoon, just whipped the neccesary off to have a look at the camchain, Im getting a lot of rattle at low revs, especially when the engine is cold, sounds horrible, sounds a bit like a bearing grating/rasping noise to be honest. Im not sure how to test the camchain or the tensioners condition...

Hi mate, i have got the camchain exposed, Im going to start a new thread, if you wouldnt mind having a look and letting me know what you think. Thanks.

Hiya. The haldex is certainly working still. There is no wheelspin under acceleration. Even in damp conditions. What i have noticed this evening. Is the noise from the camchain area only happens when the engine is cold and also right after startup on a warm engine. It seems to me that it...

I have just had the stethoscope on the right side of the engine, there is a noise coming from that area, only when coming off the throttle at idle, very low revs, its not there during driving or anywhere else in the rev range. Its most notable at the thin square shaped end plate, there is also...

Hi guys, having more issues with the S3 - Had to limp 20 miles home on 3 cylinders on Wednesday, have sorted that issue now, but its still registering a misfire on cylinder 1, i think the cylinder shut down for whatever reason. I Do still have a cyl 1 misfire code and also a camshaft over...

Ive had another listen (will get the stethoscope on it on sunday) but it seems as if the noise is coming from the throttle body/recirv valve area, ie: the front of the engine, I removed the dipstick and it does have what seems to be excess pressure (white smoke) from dipstick. It does have a...

I ended up ordering a cheap 60.5mm coupling 900mm in length, Its done the job but is not the correct size, had to open the clamps up for it to fit. FOR FUTURE REFERENCE - The stock coupling OD is circa 60mm Purchase a 63.5mm exhaust sleeve, 800-900mm in length for a stock S3 8P centre section...
