Thanks Mike
Nigel is my best source for a new one (I know that) but I'm looking at eBay and want to know what would fit so that I know of I find one I'm reasonably sure that I'm not buying a pup.
The question is more one of what are my costs and can I get very lucky and get one for less than...
Good system but not designed for a 200,000 mile engine. Early rockers were prone to wear and costly to replace and lasted about 15k miles if lucky.
More likely purchased to compete with BMW and also to access the Asian market where bikes dominate and entry to city cars from bikes is the...
Audi have a special offer on at the moment for £350
Mention to them that Stafford Audi have it for £275 on their website and most Audi dealers will bring that down to £300
Word of warning they don't change the hydraulic damper which is an £85 part or the waterpump (will do for an extra £80 for...
I was going to sell the car next month anyway...
Is it easier to replace the core unit?
Can it be done on the 'side of the road' with a pretty comprehensive halfords socket set?
I know it is tucked behind the engine and a bit of a pig to get to. Also working from underneath on a ramp doesn't...
For £300 I could get a K03s
I saw one from a golf go for £100 last night. This is the sort of money I want to spend.
If it's more than £500 all in then I may as well sell the car as is.
It would be an ideal car for someone intent on a big turbo conversion with the 4wd.
Definately turbo gone :-(
If you loook on google earth you might just see my trip from Surrey back to Herts ..........
Only took about 3 litres of oil.
Project offering unless I can get it fixed for £300
What are the chances?

Definately oil as the smell is intense and I've gone through 3 litres just to top up
Water levels fine
Turbo has now stopped completely
Anyone looking for a quattro BT project car?
Silver 1.8TQS 130k, leather, with a poorly engine may appear on eBay shortly.

Oh dear
Turbo just started to whine when off boost and spooling up and have also noticed some (ok, a lot) of White smoke out of the exhaust.
Also see a bit of oil in the pipes by the DV
Obvious questions
Seals or new turbo?
Cheapest solution?
How long does it take to swap a K03? DIY?
Cheers...
Anyone?
Just replaced the H1 bulb (dipped headlight) as it had gone, and it also blew the fuse.
Replaced both bulb and fuse and still the bulb warning is still coming on.
Any way to reset/turn it off?
Cheers

All,
Without going to the stealers is there a place I can get the lower right hand side grill that goes around the fog-light in the bumper of an S3?
Anyone know the part number or cost?
Cheers
Jas
An average driver can drive a good car well,
but it takes a good driver to drive an average car well
Get a basic Focus as it will out-handle an S3 but couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding.
Then go and embarras an S3 on a country lane and feel really smug.
Everyone wants somthing...
