    3.2v6 timing chains

    Anyone had these replaced? My dads chains have stretched or the tensioner is on its way out so needs doing. Manual gearbox, how much? I know Audi is around £4k

    Starting & Idle problems

    My S3 (APY) for as long as i can remember, needs priming twice to start it, otherwise it will crank and crank forever and not start. Replaced fuel pump and filter, no difference. Now, unless i give it some throttle when starting, it dies straight away, and the idle is terrible. No fault codes...

    FAO Badger5 & Other ECU tuners in here, Stage1 Map

    When you map an S3 for stage 1, do you alter any of the ignition and injector tables, or leave them stock? After downloading and comparing my 'Stage 1' map to a stock file, all that's been changed is the boost, and lambda tables, which to me doesn't seem enough, and I expect why i've been...

    Boot unlock on remote?

    Did any s3's come with this? I've got the button for it on my Bentley style remote, not sure if it just needs a newer central locking pump, or its a non starter.

    Throttle valve angle %load in logs

    What would be causing my load to drop to 50%? Foot is flat to the floor, ecu intervention, or mechanical issue?

    Cutting boost @ 4k rpm

    i don't know if it's coincidence, but since replacing the broken vac resovoir I have been finding the car cut boost from 1.5bar to 0.5 bar at around 4k rpm. I'm guessing the ecu is intervening, but can't see anything obvious as to why it would be doing this. I also deleted the sai in the last...

    What power steering fluid?

    this is what's come out of the car, golden in colour... The only fluid I've come across before is either green or red, what can I top it up with apart from going to Audi, as I'm guessing it's the original Audi fluid?

    Ever think your S3 has got it in for you?

    Two weekends ago, i rewired the original rear speakers to my alpine headunit, and fitted a tiny alpine 2 channel amp to run the oem sub, which all sounds great now. An hour later a coil pack went so had to bring it home. When removing the vacuum resovoir, the outlet split on that. Ordered a new...

    Apy coils

    what a crap design, a spring sitting on top of the plug, no wonder they felt baggy. Had this one fail today and detach inside the rubber sleeve. Picking up 4 new Bosch tfsi coils in the morning, has anyone got the part number to had for the push down adapters I need from Audi/vw?

    Logs from friends AUQ

    Recently had new plugs, coils, maf, n75 etc, on standard map at the moment as the unknown source remap was causing running problems it looks like. Want to check its all looking healthy before getting remapped. Did two runs in third gear.

    Still got an oil leak

    Had a look underneath today when the S3 had her mot today, and there is still fresh evidence of an oil leak on the bottom of the sump, and on the lip on the bottom of the head. I've taken a picture but not very clear, but this leaves me thinking that the oil leak must be from somewhere on the...

    Boost gauge connection

    where do people have theirs connected? Mine was connected to the fuel pressure regulator hose, but didn't like how messy it looked, I presume there must be another hose that I can put the t piece in at the back of the bay?

    Any other S3’s W *** VRK on here?

    I know of one other apart from mine, both imports, and a third i’ve found on ebay before. I’ve actually got the import certificate from germany for mine, dealer stamp is Wolfsburg. Full UK spec etc, just wondered if anybody knew how many were imported and the story behind them?

    Oil Fumes/Smoke from back of the engine.

    Cranked it up today for the first time in a month to investigate my boost leak which looks like a loose clamp on the hose going to the dump valve, but as it warmed up i noticed puffs of smoke coming from the back of the engine. I'm guessing this will be the rocker gasket, or the turbo oil feed...

    Mk1 3.2 v6 Coils

    My Dads car went in for an oil change service today, and on the way there the engine light came on. Apparantly it needs coils 2-4-6 replacing. Obviously its an easy job to do myself, but which coils are people using to replace them? Audi/Eurocarparts etc etc?

    Guide for fitting new electric window cable?

    Tried google and searching forum, i can only find guide for replacing whole regulator or the clips for the window. Can anyone help?
  19. R

    Two simple questions

    1) I'm fitting a new window regulator cable to my S3 today, does the subframe need removing from the door? 2) I've developed a boost leak. Losing 1 bar of boost. Is there a particular hose that is more common than any other to go before i start stripping it all down to inspect?

    Next size up from 323mm?

    Killed a second set of brakes on track today, i'm running Badger5 brembo brackets with junior gt calipers. After less than 500 miles, 100 of them on track, my pagid pads are down to the metal, and warped discs. I want to put a bigger disc on, has anyone done this already? The caliper will need...
