And was it worth it?
I'm not looking for big numbers, just a bit more smoothness and if possible, better MPG!
Anyone with a map able to get more than 280 miles to a full tank?!
Nigel (NHN) has just finished removing my old Symphony 2 and putting in a shiny new RNS-E into my 3.2, done in a couple hours right in my office car park. Even did a few other things above and beyond like fixing some wonky bits of trim, ensuring my existing Parrot kit worked and doing some VCDS...
Am currently debating getting the RNS-E retrofitted but am curious to the actual differences between the older and newer RNS-E units.
I know the screen is higher quality, the unit has SDHC support and a faster processor but does anyone have any pictures of the screen quality between the mk1 and...
I've just recently come from an 8L S3 to an 8P 3.2 quattro DSG and finding the fuel economy to be erm, less than I expected.
My commute to work is 10 miles, 2 are town and 8 are NSL and over the last couple of tanks I've gotten 22-24mpg average. (I reset computer 2 every fill up). The same...
I currently have in my A3 the rather basic Symphony 2 with 6 CD slot and tape player hooked up to a BOSE system.
I am umming and erring over getting the RNS-E but it's a little too pricey for me (and I only use sat nav on my phone once in a blue moon) so was looking at the Concert 2+ headunits...
Yo, as per my previous thread I've bought an 8P A3 that's currently fitted with the Symphony 2 headunit.
I'm umming and erring between getting an RNS-E, Dynavin or an aftermarket unit but was wondering if anyone had gone the aftermarket route and could post a picture of their dash? My only...
As title, looking at a 3.2 V6 Sport tomorrow, has roughly 45,000 miles on the clock and is up for £7,700 at a garage.
Any big services due at that mileage? am I right in thinking that the V6 is chain driven? I am going to look in the service book for DSG and Haldex servicing which should have...
My BAM S3 has not been behaving as I expect at WOT recently, there are times it feels underpowered (but smooth) when accelerating away but other times it almost decides that its an automatic 'kick down' and the power will surge back (i.e smooth, slow increase to 3500rpm then all of a sudden the...
Currently have an S3 so am used to the xenon headlamps and the semi decent full BOSE stereo with the little subwoofer and whatnot. Looking at the 8P for a replacement but cars with xenons and BOSE seem quite rare?
Is there a trim level I should be looking at to maximise my chances of finding...
6.5" GPS SAT NAV DVD MP3 SD USB For AUDI A3 / S3 *NEW* | eBay UK
Things like that - they appear to be shaped to fit the dash but for what I know it could look awful in the dash and have the reliability of a K series rover!
Hey guys, Currently got an 02 S3 as my car and looking to move on from it (never really felt 'in love' with it - mainly due to the colour but I'd rather get a newer car than buy an S3 in a colour I like!). I was initially wanting a 170 Diesel Quattro for economy but it dawned on me that the V6...
Noticed this yesterday but my car appears to feel a bit asthmatic on the top end... I can't see any hoses that have popped off and there are no errors on the dash but yesterday I was rejoining the motorway from junction, accelerating down the slip road - felt fine 1st and 2nd gear, switch to 3rd...
I have a portable DAB that I use around and about most days (uses the headphones for an ariel) and has excellent signal for that purpose. I want to use it in my car (using a tape on a lead) but it appears as soon as I turn anything electrical on in the car (either by starting the car or just...
Hi,
2002 S3 with a BOSE Symphony 2 headunit that's double din. I've looked *everywhere* for replacement dash kits so I can fit a regular double din headunit into the car but they don't seem to exist... Most people say you have to buy an A4 (?) adaptor, modify it then buy a collection of wiring...
Hey guys,
I've got a couple of badly damaged AVUS 17" wheels on my S3 (some pretty mean lumps taken out of it) and I need 4 new tyres before the MOT next month so I was pricing up some options.
1) Search eBay for some replacement AVUS wheels and fit my preferred choice of tyre to them (then...
Before I owned my S3 some scrote decided they didn't think my car should have a radio ariel so ripped half of it off.
Now, I've got a PURE Highway DAB unit in the car and currently using the internal windscreen ariel and to be honest the reception is pretty pony (as is the standard radio with...
Only just noticed this after having the car 6 months! I've looked on various diagrams and there should be a light on the speedo but I don't appear to have one...
Could a bulb have blown? Is there a way of doing a cluster check without VAG COM?
Another random thing is that my alarm doesn't make...
Hey guys,
about a month ago my original waterpump packed in and since I bought it from a garage a couple of weeks prior they fixed it at no charge to myself (and did the cambelt too).
I noticed that I have a high pitched whining noise that's quite audible from outside the car (less so inside)...
As I have no manual I can only hazard a guess that this is a brake light warning, it looks like this...
(O) with what looks like a bulb with a cross in it.
It appears after I brake sometimes then it wil disappear. My mate said that all my brake lights worked so what could it mean?
Does...
