There's a few of us heading up to the Santa Pod raceway for Run What Ya Brung on Saturday April 26th. Its £10.00 entry and then £25.00 for unlimited runs through the day if you want to put your car to the test (must bring both parts of your licence for this). Weather was lovely when I went the...

Just thought I'd share my weekend activities. Got given a set of parking sensors so thought I'd fit them. They were black so I had to sand them down and paint them the same colour as the car. Came out alright, and have already found them useful when manoeuvring near low walls and bollards...

Good moaning all. I have taken delivery of a set of facelift rear lights, which have been sat in my living room for a couple of months now, so it's probably about time I do something with them. I believe I've been told that I would need to change the bulb holders, as the pre facelift indicator...

Just a quick one.. Recently bought Bose covers as I've got a Bose system and I ain't afraid to show it! :p Tried to take out the old ones last weekend but was being very careful and they didn't seem to want to prize out without breaking.. Do I need to take out the whole door card!? cheers

Thought I'd post a couple pics up with the new wheels on. Just a couple quick car park pics from my phone.

I've got an 8L pre facelift S3, but my headlights have become a bit minging, and I've seen people use a fine grit sandpaper to return them to their former glory. The question is.. What do I use? Am I going to need to order multiple types? I seem to remember them being plastic rather than...

So I just received my new wheels that I ordered for my 8L S3, and have taken them to the fitters to get fit on my car. These are the wheels clicky. The problem I'm having is that they are 9.5J on the back and 8.5J on the front. They need spigot rings, which I've now ordered.. But on...

It's going in to Ben's tonight but it's a good 40 minutes drive away and I'm a bit worried about maybe making something worse - Wondering whether to risk trying to drive it there.. Or call upon the AA and get it recovered there. I'll give you a little story so you've got the full picture. I'm...

Expect to be crucified a little for being lazy and not spending that much time hunting the archives, but.. I currently have a dodgy-volume Concert tape deck with CD changer in the boot. I would really like to get a double DIN unit in there, looking smart, and then wire in new speakers, an Andy...

If you've got 4WD and want to get some pictures taken :P I'm not a photographer as you can probably tell but I love my car. :)

I know there's so much that you need to look out for when buying an S3. I made a list of stuff to check over that helped when choosing my friend's car with him - We're picking it up later on today. There's probably more that needs to be looked at, but thought that a good chunk of it would be...

Right.. So I thought I'd swap over to my new head unit today, after getting the facia adaptor and new CD player through, and also to wire up the sub and amp that I bought earlier on in the week. I've gone into Halfords and borrowed a set of keys to get the Bose Concert unit out, only to find...

Would I be able to get away with using this clutch/flywheel combo on my S3? On a budget and this would be perfect if so! VW VOLKSWAGEN GOLF 1.8TVR6 LUK CLUTCH & G60 FLYWHEEL | eBay

I've been looking around for prices on labour to swap the 'box on my S3. The one I've got crunches heavily into second when coming down from third, and into second from first at higher revs. I can still get from A to B in it but I don't know how long it'll be for, and I'd rather sort it now...

Thought I'd create a thread to document the life and times of my S3 as I know there's a few of them on here. At the moment I have no intentions of going super almighty pub numbers 1000+BHP Monster.. But it'll be nice to have somewhere to pop up that I've replaced my TIP, or that I've...

Well I'm starting to think that a change of transmission fluid and fresh dogbone bush isn't going to be enough to resolve my clonky gearbox issues with the S3. How much work is involved in swapping over to a new 'box? I've got a friend who works as a mechanic but on aircraft machinery such as...

I've spent more time reading about this than doing work at work today! I'm looking for an aftermarket DV that'll give me a nice hissing noise as I'm looking for a replacement for my stock one that is in at the moment. I've been told I should be changing it because I've had the car re-mapped on...

My hopes of needing a new ABS sensor have been quashed by VAG COM telling me that I have a sporadic issue with my Longitudinal Acceleration Sensor. I believe Audi charge over £100 for a replacement, but am wondering if there's anywhere else I may be able to get one from? It's probably not even...

Morning all, Just thought I would make a post to say hi as I've just joined this forum following collection of my first Audi on Saturday. It's a 2000-plate S3 with some good points and some bad points (that I'll be looking to resolve ASAP). Good: *FSH *12 months MOT *3 owners from...
