A very simple question, what is different in the new S3 engine compared to the old? I heard rumours of a bigger turbo, is this true?

I have just got my car back from Audi after they fitter cruise control for me and also checked the cam follower for wear. They also replaced a screw that had come out of the exhaust heat shield. Since I have got the car back I have noticed an ever so slight stutter in the power delivery at...

After my OEM cam follow broke and damaged my cam shaft I have felt it necessary to inform everyone that there is an uprated part to avoid this ever happening. KMD make an uprated cam follower out of the same material that the OEM cam shaft is made of, hence reducing or stopping wear altogether...

I have been running the car on the V3's for some time now and it doesn't feel right. There is too much roll and sometimes to little feedback. I have dropped the car 25mm which is the lowest I want to go right now due to my driveway. I am looking for a firm, solid, low roll ride. What would...

The story so far, ill keep this short. My car reaches Stage 2+ and needs an uprated clutch and flywheel. These are the Sachs clutch and single mass flywheel. When using these parts the car wont change gear quickly at high revs, a problem i believe due to the single mass flywheel making the...

Since having the windows down more as the weather is getting nice I have noticed an odd noise coming from the front of the car outside. If you don't turn the wheel the noise isn't there. Start to move the wheel when the car is stationary and it appears. It is completely random as to when it...

After my fuel pump had failed i took my car to AmD to get it fixed. While there the Powerflex bushes that I ordered had arrived. They took about 3 to 4 weeks to come as the are made to order. First thing is they are quite expensive, 4 times more than normal rubber bushes. Also they take a...

I just went out for a drive, a quick blast near by on a dual carriage way. Got to a set of lights and pulled away, the car stuttered a bit and then got worse. The car will now not go past 4000rpm and will only build 5psi of boost. I have had a quick look in the engine bay and all the hoses...

Had my car at Tonbridge Audi today to get its 10,000 mile oil change / service. Asked about the new TT-RS and they said they had just got one in 2 days ago. Went to the sales guy, fancy taking me for a spin in that? Answer: yes! Went out for a drive with the sales guy, felt a little...

Just when I thought the mods would stop..... Just when I thought I could give my bank account time to recover.... I have been looking up on the internet about water / meth injection and have a couple of questions. Do you only use it on track days? Can you switch it on/off at any time or...

As some of you may know a while back I took my car to Pro Alloy to have a larger more efficient intercooler made and fitted to my S3. Pro Alloy is run by two guys, Wayne and Alex. Both of them are really nice and knowledgeable, talking to them for the first time I knew my car was in good...

It may be just me or it may be something wrong but here goes! When I had my new wheels fitted the problem first occured. When the car got to about 80mph the steering wheel you vibrate / wobble. It wasn't very much but it was still noticeable. It didn't do it at speeds lower and it would go...

I found this in a mag the other day and really want one. Its around the £350 mark! http://www.vi-performance.com/homepage.aspx I was wonder if anyone else knows of any kit like this. Very keen of having an extra screen in my car that tells me lots of "stuff". A bit like the one in the...

Almost the final piece on my modding list, a set of 18" OZ Alleggeritas. Had the wheels fitted yesterday and filled with nitrogen. To sum up the difference it has made to the car in one word: AMAZING First lets get the weight saving figures up! Audi OEM with tyre: 21.9kg Audi OEM without...

My OZ Alleggerita wheels have arrived but are the titanium colour, they didn't know when the matt black ones would be in so I went for those! Would titanium coloured wheels work on my black and white car? If not, where is a good place in the south east to get wheels powder coated...

I have just dropped my car off at AmD Essex for them to take it to Pro Alloy Ltd in Suffolk. There it is being used as a development car for the research and construction of a bespoke larger inter-cooler for the S3. You can see their work here: http://www.proalloy.co.uk/ The car should...

As many of you may know I have had an ongoing problem of a squeak in my car. The squeak appeared at some point after having the H&R anti roll bars and K&W V3 coilovers fitted. The squeak only appears when the car hits small but quick bumps. Anything that makes the suspension travel a lot...

The time has finally come to get new tyres! And with them its time to get some light weight alloys! Just got off the phone to performancealloys.com talking about the due date on the matt black OZ Alleggerita's. They are getting back to me. Though i am a little worried about the offset. He...

Just the other day i noticed a funny noise coming from the car. I turned down the radio and had a listen to it a bit more. If the car is say at 3000rpm and i take my foot of the gas and let it slow the whining noise starts. Its doesn't appear when i accelerate. It seems to be getting louder...

As some of you may know after having the Sachs clutch and flywheel fitted i have had a problem with changing gear quickly at high revs. I took the car back to AmD for Shaun to have a look at. He had a look at the clutch and flywheel and it all checked out. To problem seems to be with the...
