A friend of mine is looking to swap a broken auto box from an A3 1.8T Sport over to a manual. Physically I'm confident that it's achievable, but he's questioning if the autobox "talks" to the engine ECU and whether it's removal will cause the engine to go into limp mode. Can anyone shed some...

You know what I mean - When you flick the indicator stalk and they flash three times then turn off. How do I turn these on for a 2001 S3? I have done a bit of research on here and have found this: "Its under 46 adaptation channel 12." What/where is 46? Is it the same for my car? And what I...

How do guys. I've checked this forum using the search and even googled it, but I can't find out how to set, or more accurately, turn off the MPH2 warning. Mines currently set for about 65mph, which means driving cross country I am contantly bombarded with that annoying beep. I know it...

Where do you guys with S3s buy your spark plugs from? I'm just about to service my MkII Golf/S3 and I've got everything else I need but Sparky Ps. Been to G&S and Halfords (sic) - they both list em but don't stock them. Don't really wanna go to a dealership cos I'll get stung big time. Any...

I know the early engines in the S3s suffered with certain components failing/not being up to the job. AFAIK they are: - Coil packs - MAF sensors - Recirculation valves - N75 valves Are there any others? And does anyone know the latest part numbers and suffixes? And where is the best place...

Does anyone know the part number for the in tank fuel lift pump and level sender? I need to buy one for mine but need the part no. I think it's "6X0 919 051 C", but I need to confirm. Or, is there an online ETKA I could have a look at? Cheers guys S3 lump - Fully working S3 Dash...

After a boost gauge, but I don't want to mount an after market one in the car and take away from the OE look. Have seen some LED style boost gauges mounted in the clocks, at least they are a bit more subtle. Anyone have any links to someone that sells them and an idea of the price? Not afraid...

No, the missus isn't up the duff. LOL!!! I think the diaphram in my diverter valve has split. I get a fluttering noise when under boost. It is the original Bosch item, but is that the symtoms of a dodgy DV? I'd just like to confirm before I rush out to buy a Forge item. Cheers

Worthy upgrade or not? I just have the standard plastic Audi recirculation valve on at the moment. Don't think it's causing me any hassles, but will the Forge one make any noticable difference? And, are they all the same or are there any variations? Cheers

When do you guys deem it OK to give you cars stick from a cold start? I have asked if there is an oil temp function no the S3, but there appears not to be, so I can't really tell when it's OK to give it the "Full Moo" or not. So far I have been driving up to about 3K in each gear until the...

Is there anyway an A3/S3 can show oil temp somewhere without installing an aftermarket dial? My old '87 Jetta had one, so why doesn't this one?

My company's VW Transporter van has automatic indicators, you know.... flick the stalk and it indicates 3 times or whatever then turns itself off. Does anyone know if VAGCOM can set this up in my S3? And if so, where do I look? Also, slightly off topic, how do I turn the damn dial pod...

Does anyone elses S3 clocks light up when you turn the ignition on regardless of whether you have your lights on or not? Mine do, and I don't think they should.

Does anyone know what size battery(s) these take? And if there is a procedeure to follow to swap them? i.e. key recoding or only have 30 secs to swap battery etc. Also, does anyone know if a flat key battery would affect the immobilser turning off? Cheers

Just tried to align my clocks and keys to the ECU in order to stop the immobiliser icon flashing and to allow me to start the car. Followed VAGCOM's instructions (mines a 2001 immobiliser II system) and it didn't work. So I checked for errors. This is what it bought up: 3 Faults Found: 01128 -...

I have an 2001 Audi S3, sort of....... I'm just completing a full conversion of a MkII Golf to run an S3 lump, code AMK, and the full dash and wiring loom. As part of the conversion I want to add Cruise control in. It's already FBW throttle running standard management, but I know need to add in...

Hi Can some one tell me, or show me some pics to explain, which coolant pipes from the S3 engine go to which outlet on the radiator? And also which pipe the feed/return (I'm not quite sure which) from/for the turbo goes into. Actually, an idea of the direction of flow would be very helpful too...

This is an easy one for you: Where do I find the engine number on an S3 block? Need to get my V5 updated and I'll be damned if I can find it. Cheers
