    Failing heater flap and it's infuriating clicking

    Right, the car is driving me mental, and any help would be massively appreciated! I've got a constant clicking sound from the heater, regardless of whether the heater is switched on or off. I've taken the heater motor out and the fan itself is absolutely fine, it seems it's the flap behind...

    Anyone know what this is?

    Went to install my AMSS today and couldn't get the panel back on after the sub was in place as this was in the way under the alarm module (the one covered in the foam). As it wasn't on Andy Mac's instructions and because it taped together and looked pretty shoddy I decided to cut it out...

    3" Downpipe - Fitting Instructions?

    Like probably a hundred other people on here, I've just bought the new XS Power 3" downpipe and cat. It all looks spot on, well done Welly for all the perseverance, you're a legend for getting that sorted! So from what I've read on fitting one on an S3, there's the hard way (removing the head)...

    Replacing the main fan

    Just wondering if anyone had any instructions/tips for replacing the fan unit behind the radiator? I got one from motfree who was breaking his (cheers for that!). Whilst it's only the large main fan that's broken, I've got the whole unit with both fans so may as well replace the lot. Was...

    DIY heat shield - for under £20

    So this all came about after I fitted my a Badger5 3" TIP and JR filter. Having pulled out the old airbox I could see that the MAF and filter were going to be bouncing about all over the place, so figured I needed something to secure it, stopping the vibrations destroying the MAF. That and...

    Cambelt Tensioner Damper - Heads Up

    I had my cambelt done on Friday by they guys from 4Rings (did a great job as ever, cheers guys!). After reading a post last week that mentioned how important it is to have the tensioner damper done at the same time, I made sure they replaced it as well as the usual belt, tensioner and pump...

    Remaps - Before and After

    With all the talk of what remap to go for, thought it might be interesting to get some before and after rolling roads of the various different ones. This is my AMK before the MTM remap from Kim Collins at QST. The only mod was the Forge DV, done at around 60k (a looooong time ago!). And...

    Right, I've decided on getting some Neuspeed ARBs (22mm and 19mm) as from what I understand although they're expensive, they are basically as good as they get (although feel free to correct me otherwise). Just had an email from Sarah over at Awesome who said that if we get a few names...

    Suspension Bits

    Hi Damien, I've just got my S3 (2001) a couple months ago which unfortunately came complete with broken rear shocks. I've just bought some H&R springs which will drop it 25mm but as the car has done 100k, I think it's probably best I get new dampers. Apparently the Bilstein B8's are the ones...
