    Possible missing pipe near engine? See pics...

    Hi folks, I recently bought my old audi S3 (by chance) on ebay which had been sold to a finance house (it was like seeing an old friend so I had to buy her again!) and it looks mint apart from some very minor things. I need to wait for the V5 till I can tax it and once this is done it'll be...

    Replacing rear wheel bearing

    Hi folks, Does anyone know how to go about replacing the rear wheel bearings? A local mechanic (who managed to replace the fronts) took one look and was stumpted?! I'd rather not take it to Audi so maybe a specialist visit is in order but is there any reason why it's difficult? Cheers Leon

    Anyone know if brake sensor is easy to come loose...?

    Hi Chaps, Was giving the car a bit of 'run' over the weekend and up popped one of the orange brake safety lights. Its just a round circle with a half arch either side of the circle. I'm assuming it's indicating a problem with the pads but as I had the discs/pads replaced only 2 thousand miles...

    Chip > 26% Increase in Power...?

    I am due to take my car into AMD tomorrow for several bits of work, but most importantly I was considering a chip upgrade. I run a 210bhp S3 and was hoping to have the Stage 1 done which take's it up to a reported 275bhp. The problem is, I've spoken with my insurance and they will cover up to...

    Bent Wheels...

    My 2000 S3 went into the dealers for replacement anti-roll bushes recently and when I went to collect the car the invoice detailed other 'required work'. I have 19" RS4 alloys which I bought with the car and it now turns out they are replicas. Now this wouldn't be an issue but the work on the...

    APR 20% Discount ending 31st July

    Found this link via seatcupra.net which may be of interest to anyone thinking about a performance chip. I have been thinking about an upgrade for a while now and ideally would have gone for AMD, but APR get a lot of good reports and I like the option of using the cruise-control stalk to change...

    Creaking Suspension

    Hi All. Looking for some advice with an odd problem I'm having with my car, 2000 S3 with 44K on the clock. Whenever I start off in the morning, or home from work the I don't hear any noises with the suspension at all, even if I'm going over speed bumps. At some point into the journey though...
