    IHI replacement (OE or Hybrid?)

    I have a 2009 A4 Avant quattro with a the IHI turbo starting to show signs of bearing wear. Probably due to the early piston ring issue that was ignored by 2 previous owners and eventually rectified at 43k. The car has now done 90k and still in good condition. It's had an AMD stage 1 remap...

    HVAC malfunction

    I have an A4 b8 2009 that has a battery draining issue. I've tested n/side abs sensor, H/brake module and tried replacing the agm battery. Can anyone help me with this module issue that is continually activating the canbus and flattening the battery. There is no error flagged, just a potential...

    repeated module power up flattening battery

    Initially, I had an ESP and handbrake fault light up accompanied with the engine management light. A VCDS scan revealed a MAF sensor error. The MAF sensor was replaced and error logs cleared. Annoyingly, I'm just left a repeated module power up when the engine is switched off. If I leave the...

    The standard intercooler is positioned behind nearside front fog light grill, which is closed off. Shouldn't this be opened up....? Similar to mk1 S3 fog light grills with twin intercoolers although they have wheel arch vents to increase air flow....

    mk1 TT

    I still have a haldex contoller and set of wheels left over from an mk1 S3 that I sold on. Have been considering a mk1 TT for quick commuting rather than using an A4 avant 4x4. Bearing in mind the S3 & TT share the same running gear. Would the handling characteristics be comparable after the...

    Occasional poor starter/fast idle - High CO2 levels failed MOT

    I've had my s3 for 6 years, so I'm familiar with most of the little problems. The engine generally runs ok, although there is a fueling problem. My mechanic has run a couple diags', which shows nothing. However, it's just failed the mot with a high co2 level at fast idle. Any suggestions?

    S3 tyres.....

    In case anyone is interested. I recently fitted 4 new goodyear F1s (215/45/17). The rolling circ. difference was less than 1%. I've since done a few hundred miles on both twisty and straight lanes and can see an improvement in both ride and handling characteristics (i.e. feedback and roll)...

    S3 Power increase

    Have had a stage 1 remap from AMD and most mods so far. Any ideas as to best gains for power/reponse other than a turbo upgrade (i.e. breathing improvements).

    Tyre size for 18" rim

    Most people seem to have fitted 225/40's, but surely on a wider rim you'd move to a wider tyre?

    Camber adjusters

    Does anyone know anything about H & R's Triple C Eccentric System. Looks like a cheap fix for excessive negative camber.
