I ordered 4 Michelin PS4’s for the S3. They turned up today But 2 tyres are PS4’s and the other 2 are pilot super sports. They are all the same size 225/40/18 my question is should I keep them ? I know they are a better tyre but they don’t match. If I do keep them do I put the supers on the...

I’ve had my milltek non res catback fitted for around 4 months now and I don’t think I like it. It’s too raspy and is abit to loud for me at slow speeds. I’m looking at getting the downpipe and stage 2 soon and I have a couple of questions If I get a sports cat would it sound even louder ...

A friend and I are looking at doing our first track car and we like the idea of the A3 1.8 T quattro Is this a good starting point ? Or are there better options out there. Our budget isn’t massive probably 800-1000 for a car to start with. What things should we look out for when viewing these...

My 2010 55k S3 is starting to feel a little sloppy. Along with the anti lift kit that I’ve got im looking at doing the powerflex dog bone mount and the transmission mount. Anybody got any reviews/feedback on them and do I go for the normal version or the black series. Should also mention the...

Thinking of going with Brentacre for my modified S3 insurance this year has anyone got any experience with them as I’ve not heard much about them before. Or if there’s any other companies I should try ?

What’s the difference between the milltek HJS sports cat (SSXAU200) and the race cat (SSXAU200R) they both seem to be 200cell ?

I purchased the H&R anti roll bars along with super pro anti lift kit in the summer but just never got round to fitting them. I’m 100% sure about the anti lift kit so that will be going on it’s just the anti roll bars, I’ve always wondered why the front is thicker than the rear and just don’t...

I have a 2010 S3 8P and I’ve had the EM tuning number plate loom to enable me to use their LEDs. At first they worked fine for a couple of weeks but then I’ve had a warning on the dash. Now they have stopped working all together but they flicker on for quick second as I shut the boot so the...

Ive had my miltek exhaust fitted for a few weeks now and it’s beginning to sag abit on the left hand side. The rubber mount is a the V shape one next to the tail pipes and I just can’t find a replacement can anyone point me in the right direction and also will it just be the rubber hanger or the...

I’m currently thinking where to go next with my manual S3, I’m happy with the handling side of things due to my B8s, H&R springs and I’ve got anti roll bars to install along with anti lift kit. The car is currently APR stage 1 326/320 on 95 fuel and it’s just ticked over to 50,000 so my question...

Sorry this question has more than likely been asked before. My S3 is currently running stage 1 with CAI only. I might be buying a full turbo back exhaust with sports cat so would I need a stage 2 map or could I run it as it is for a while as I want the clutch to last a good while longer TIA

so since the warm weather has come I’ve had the windows down I noticed last week that every time I lift off the throttle I get click noise, happens every time I do it just 1 click. On the way home from work tonight I now have the same noise when changing from 3rd-4th I’m going to get it looked...

So I’m still enjoying my manual S3 and I’ve been slowly saving up for my next mod (budget is 5-600) I’m not desperate to spend for the sake of spending it. I’m upto date with services and cam Follower has been recently changed along with pcv. My current mods are Revo intake Apr stage 1...

So has this annoying little popping noise coming from the engine bay. tbh I though it was a leak on the down pipe or something but just been investigating and it’s coming from my revo intake. When the revs drop back to idle it pops, I’m sure it’s not always done this. Is this normal or is...

Ive got an S3 stage 1 and over the last couple of days I’ve noticed a smell of petrol outside the car there isn’t any signs of a leak or anything. I’ve been doing abit of research and it could be my cam follower ? My car is booked in to have suspension put on but it’s not for 4 weeks should I...

my car is due an oil change and just wondering what oil to use. Car is running APR stage 1 I was thinking millers nano drive but which spec do I need and also how much do I need to put in ?

Been out this morning to Give the engine bay a clean and top up oil, first thing I noticed was the coolant had dropped a small amount probably even less than a cm down. Then I noticed the dreaded milky/mayo substance on the oil cap. After a search it seems like it’s normal for these engines ? I...
