Hi, I have an APY s3 which only requires 1 Lambda Sensor (pre cat). Im trying to shop around to find the best deal on a new unit. My local Auto Factors can supply me with the required part for about £40, the only issue is this is a Febi part and not a bosch. My local TPS have Quoted me £120 for...

Hi, im curious as to weather the Seat AYP engine has the same forged crank and forged mahle pistons that Audi S3 APY engine has? Would it just be a straight swap?

Well ive had a few days off from work so went fishing yesterday and did the motor today. My plan was to remove the turbo and manifold "without" removing the head or dropping the subframe, this was indeed a very! knuckle crunching experience to say the least, ive read lots of turbo removal guides...

Im trying to get the most out of the standard k04, ive got the dp, exhaust and ic sorted but am stuck on what highflow cast manifold to get. Ive read alot of mixed views on different ones and id like to know if anyone has any experience on the situation.

I went to pick up my Porsche 996 Brembo's today, had to remove them myself and sheared the head off my 3/4-1/2 adaptor but it was more than worth it. got these beauty's for £200 the pair with almost new EBC redstuff pads. A nice coat of red, some carriers and some lines and bingo! :rockwoot:

Tomorrow i'm off to go see a local friend who has a "Stolen/Recovered" Porsche 911 (1998). Im wanting the Brake calipers from it. Am i correct in thinking that its the front pair i want? Also apart from the carriers what else would i need for these to fit my S3? I think i need 330mm disks, am i...

So after reading some other posts on here about what my temp gauge should be showing i thought i'd try and get mine sorted as i thought it might have something to do with my cooling fans not working. My on dash gauge reads just below 90* id say around 85ish. So i changed the thermostat and temp...

Ive been after a recon'd K04 for ages now as mine has up/down play and very small in/out play. so with not much luck in sourcing one i might have to go down the rebuild route. Im wondering how difficult it is to actually do it yourself and is it cost effective? Turbo Dynamics have quoted me £300...

She seems to be idling at around 950rpm once warmed up, but if i go for a drive it seems to idle at 1000rpm. I don't think i have any vacuum leaks. do i need to do a TB reset on vagcom?

Im looking at getting some coilovers for my S3 but I'm unsure about a few things. Firstly ive never been a coily fan as ive always used Koni street's on my prevoius BMW's so i know very little about whats what when it comes to quality ect ect. Ive been looking around at price's and as i work...

I went for a spin today, came to the dual carriage way went to floor it, boosted up into 4th then bam! the turbo went limp me. so i pulled over and got the lappy out and did a roadside diagnostic and got this fault: 17963/P1555 - Boost Pressure Control: Upper Limit Exceeded. so i wiped it and...

Hi, im just wondering, what are the benefits of fitting an R32 Anti-roll bar? and is it really necessary to fit adjustable drop links with it? Cheers

Ok recently around where i live (yeovil/taunton) ive noticed ALOT! of chav's in their clit cars rolling around with some of the most ridiculous mods. 90% of them have gone and installed roll cages, and not even proper ones, just half show cages made from cheap ally or stainless. what is the...

My friend has recently sold his TT 225 BAM. The nice guy he is has given me his spare coil packs as he forget to include them with the sale of his car. Im wondering if these will be ok in my S3 210 APY? The part number on the CP's he gave me are: 06B905115E

Hey everyone, I've been trying to find a guide to do this on the S3 but all i can find is the vortex guide that is good but not really much help when it comes to an S3 setup. Ill try and explain my problem as simple as i can with picture and descriptions and hopefully some of you nice people...

Hi, well basically i want to put a new turbo on my S3, ive spoken to audi and there are 2 separate part numbers for the K04's, one for the APY engines and one for the BAM ect. The question is: what is the difference between the two? can i fit a the turbo from a BAM to my APY? I asked the...
