Hi
So Ive had by headlights refurbished and they look class, but the manual headlight adjustment is broken and doesnt work. The level senders on the front wishbone and rear tie bars are also broken.
Is it possible to buy new headlights, fit them and then use the working manual headlight...
Hi
My cars going to be due a belt change soon.
Do people change the hydraulic damper with every change?
I think the tension damper is £100 or so at TPS, however GSF and EURO kits seem to have it in?
Is it a thing where I shoud change it every time? Is it reccomended to just go OEM from Audi/...
So, it seems my cars turning more and more into a track car.
It never gets used now, only on track days and B reoad blasts.
One thing about the car, its heavy.
Been looking into cost effective ways at shedding weight. Its partially stripped but I could go the whole hog and take front carpets...
Hello lads
I'm after a bit advice.
I'm loving my car with its current 342 bhp, I've done the Ring, I've got Croft booked for the 24th and other than a miss fire which turned out (hopefully as I've not done much miles since) to be coil packs missing under load.
My question is, how much more...
Hi everyone,
Fitting my polytek engine mounts, the drivers side engine bracket had stripped it's threads :(
Cam belt off this weekend to fit a new bracket.
I was literally those two bolts away from them being fitted, gutted !
Anyone else had this ?
Hello lads
So meant to be taking the S3 on a drive tomorrow so took it out tonight and it's misfiring horrendously under load.
The exhaust sounds like a machine gun!
Map switched to map 5 and all is fine, no misfires.
As soon as I crank it through the maps and introduce more boost it misses...
Ive got a puddle :(
The drivers door has dropped ever so slightly, is it hard to adjust the door? Im not sure its enough to cause the leak.
I dont want to leave it too long and end up with holes in the floor !
Is it hard to take the carpet out? I might go full racecar mode and have no carpets...
So this morning I thought I'll drive the S3 to work to give it a run out after its Nurburgring trip.
No buzz from the DA31 when I turned the key. I can hear the standard pump fine.
I drove the car to work slowly and got the power probe out, all wiring and fuses ok, relay ok, pump is dead.
I even...
So ive been looking at this kit on ebay
Is it safe to run alongside the OEM oil cooler? Dont want to mess with oil pressures etc, if these even effect oil pressure at all?
Anyone ever had this?
Been under the car today doing Nurburgring checks and I noticed the tank straps are rotten!
I had a pick at them and I'm fairly confident I could break them with my bare hands.
Call to TPS happening tomorrow and I'm gonna bite the bullet and just do them.
It looks like only...

hello lads
So. S3 8L with LCR Brembos. My pads and disks are brand new, wishbones polybushed.
Near side front has developed a noisy wheel bearing and recently I'm getting brake judder under light braking from the same side.
Can a knackered wheel bearing cause wheel judder ?
Ive had mine up in the air so many times the sills have crushed and flattened.
I used to use a halfords jack which has done the damage, Now I have splashed out and I use a bluepoint low slung jack with a big pad to try to dustribute the weight.
The sill had been totally flattened now, and ive...

Long story short, it has problems and couldn't make more power.
It's had all the problems fixed and is going back to Badger5 at the start of Feb.
The cars got a brand new OEM pump, Bill didn't mention anything when I was there about having to upgrade the...

Got the car home, was advised to change to lower temp thermostat and add a second wmi nozzle as Bill said that the coolant temps were shooting to 104 degrees after...

So im trying to locate the source of this judder.
It seems to be from the passenger side front.
The are within the last month has had LCR Brembos, Nankang NS2-Rand powerflex front arm bushes.
The judder was there before all of these parts were fitted.
I thought warped disks, worn bushes, but...
