    Audi S3 Desmo ?

    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...

    Whining turbo and White smoke

    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...

    Whining turbo and White smoke

    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.

    S3 lower grills - r/h/s needed

    Cheers. Makes sense to OE then as it's quite cheap. Thought Audi would add a huge profit on this and rape me for a lot more. Jas
