Always interested in these posts and I have a little bit of rust on the roof rails and a pillars so once you are finished and need some extra cash you could tackle mine perhaps - i am serious by the way ;)

Not usually a fan of the red S3's but yours does look great . Decided to do treat mine to a similar clean . Paint cleaned , new clay bar and some some good polish and wax. Great therapy ;) Sadly after replacing the windscreen i discovered a bit of the tin worm around the A pillars which will...

I also fitted the black powerlex top mounts with B8 & H&R springs They were removed within a week as far too harsh - would not recommend I replaced with stock /standard mounts and 12 months on still very happy with the decision

Sadly I am not the first owner - but the second one , previous owner a lady was bought the car by her husband for her 60th birthday present , she kept it for 17-18 years and covered about 32k before I bought it 2 years ago

2002 S3 BAM 36K miles

Another upvote for PS4's - had them for a while now and very pleased with them 4 x Michellin PS4 225/45/94Y 17" - £346 fitted mid last year from black circles , like everyrhing they have probably gone up substationally since then just like my car tax renewal - think my S3 was £475 this year ...

Have a soft spot for the yellow S3 - looks fab

Finally had chance to have the car properly set up - I had some issues with the rear toe after all the upgrades but its been difficult getting it sorted with other things going on in life I visited a place I knew well in the south west but they were unable to solve this even with top and bottom...

I have some considerable toe in on my rears , you may be right about the 17/18 - i just didnt have this issue on the previous S3 with 18's

Check your fuses for signs of any issues first. My fuel pump fuse kept failing causing starting issues but it could be a multitude of things. When was the fuel filter last changed ?( under the drivers side half way along the underbody )- easy to do but often neglected

You will need at least 1 set , I have both top and bottom adjustables at the rear and still having issues getting the geometry right. Perhaps its because I kept the 17's

Check the fuse responsible for 'fuel pump' in the manual , for intergrity - it may have melted/cracked

That is a really useful video - thanks brad , just what i needed

I know this question has come up before and I have seen a lot of information online but I just dont seem to be able to get a definitive answer If i am using a trolley jack on the rear ( to remove both wheels initially ) - where is the 'safest' jacking point on an 8L Once up, where is the...

sure - that could be a plan assuming i am not trying to wax oil over something thats going to fail ;)

Not at all , they further improve the setup up , a lot less roll into corners , flatter and without any noticeable reduction in ride comfort - really pleased with them overall just the nagging issues of the toe and squeaking making me less than super enthusistic the h&r setup with bilsteins is...

Thanks for the reassurance - perhaps I will give it a few more miles first , but what about the corrosion - does it look a major issue ?

Eibach 26/24 mm ARBS have been fitted and it has transformed the handling as I had expected ( hoped it would ) On a previous S3 I had 22/19 neuspeed and to be honest it seems to me that just upgrading the standard ones makes such a difference that I probably didnt need to go that big on these...

thank you - the caliper looks about as wide as the space between the spokes on the avus alloys Maybe its just me having a senior moment - I just dont remember them being that small cheers for the quick reply hydro ;)

Had my rear calipers replaced yesterday as they were binding and the handbrake cable was replaced at the same time Drove home late last night - lots of pedal travel so decided to check them this evening Seems they have replaced them with what I can only describe as calipers from a mini - wtf -...
