Thanks, that’s exactly what was holding it, It’s out now

can anyone shed some light on how the full heater box comes out? seems like there stuff on the engine side of the bulkhead holding it on but the engine is still in the car.

Nodi lol

Gotta love a nova, got one when I was 16 and never been out of ownership of one since, I’m 43 now Bought my GSI when I was 21 and ran it every day for 4 years till I bought my yellow S3 then used the S3 everyday for 14 years I was going to restore the GSI but when I put the S3 off the road...

My Astra GSI and nova swing ( it’s getting a 2.0 16v this year) the one in the corner under the cover and wheelbarrow is my GSI shell.

I’ll be doing a thread on the nova forum and will update on here too, I’m not doing the fabrication as it’s beyond my abilities, I just came up with the stupid idea and my friend said he’d love to build it

Perfect will make life a bit more simple

That would make my life much easier thanks, My S3 is no longer fit for the road so it’s drivetrain and floor are being donated to live under my nova GSI bodyshell, the Nova looks ridiculous with 18” wheels and 15” wouldn’t be the best option for the S3 running gear so 16” is the perfect compromise

Hi all, not been on here in a while, Bit of an odd one but I want to downgrade my S3 disc size to the 288 sport disc size so I can use 16” wheels. I know the calipers are the same but is there any differences in the hub carrier from S3 and 1.8t sport?

Ive been putting off doing my thermostat for 3 maybe 4 years now Temp doesnt move off the rest on the motorway lol

just searched for this again, please as seafar suggested add this as a sticky please

dont over look the oil pick up pipe, more boost, more stress less oil isnt a good combo. i changed mine at 100,000 miles and it was badly clogged up ( mine is a APY aswell )

After I got a prohabition order for my tints the retest showed 75% VLT on the front side windows, so around a 25% factory tint on the front of my S3,

Not always, I have 2 PC's a laptop and my iPhone, I have various pictures scattered over all my devices but all of them are on my photobucket account that I can access at any time in any location on any device or even on someone else's device, so much easier to share picture that way rather...

I used that method on the outer CV when rebuilding it, I dare say other methods may be easier I just done it that way first time round and it seamed easy,

I bought my S3 8 years ago, it cost me £18,000 its now worth only £3-4000 at most, still love driving it every day and I won't be changing anytime soon, The only engine trouble I've had in 8 years was a oil pick up pipe blocked and a failed oil pressure sensor, suspension and bushes seam to be...

I mentioned earlier that my car had a hub nut rather than a bolt in tuffy's post, as it turns out the bolt and nut torque settings are different and 2WD and 4WD settings are also different, I have borrowed this pic from work, just use the info relevant to your car.

still original clutch 106,000 miles standard power i dont do many full throttle rally slag style launch's but i do drive it quite hard, still not even a hint of slip yet, oh im the 2nd owner and had the car from 30,000 miles so i know its never had one.

so due to the state of the gaitor i stripped the CV to give it a good clean, im glad to report its fine with no heavy scoring or grooves, while i was doing it i took some pictures and wanted to add them to this thread to help others, as said earlier it can be tricky rebuilding the inner CV so i...

Thanks, just a bit like pulling shafts from a normal FWD box :) I didn't want to try that earlier just incase I got it wrong, or it was not the correct approach
