    S3 8L Xenon headlights - Why has one turned darker/more yellow than the other?...

    Hi everyone, Quick few questions... I've got an 8L S3 with Xenon headlights and one of them has turned a yellow-ish colour... Pretty much the same colour as a normal halogen bulb. It's only on one side, I've got no other bulbs out or anything like that and the other "good" light is still as...

    Another satisfied R-Tech customer!!! :D A few niggles though... Advice please! :)

    Well guys I finally bit the bullet and booked myself in to R-Tech last week, I went down with low hopes and came back over-joyed!!! The first run on the rollers showed the car made 220bhp, which I was impressed with to say it's only supposed to be 210bhp standard! I have the following engine...

    Retro-fitting cruise control into APY S3

    Evening all! As I do quite alot of motorway miles, I'm starting to feel the sting of 26mpg average... It's my own fault because I can't help but put my foot down... However, if I had cruise control, it will be easier to keep a constant speed and not be so tempted by other people... If you know...

    Electric Recaro seat tilt not working... Now causing back problems -_-

    Ok, so my electric seat tilt (the motor that lifts your legs up and down, NOT the back-rest) hasn't worked since I bought my S3 back in February, and recently I've been having a few back problems, and I recon the S3 is the cause. The little bolster/lumbar support switch works fine as does the...

    Under the part that says 2nd gear under my avatar, there are the green pips... When will I get more/what do they mean? I've noticed people with only 100 or so posts with a whole rack of them... But I only have one with over 400 posts :/ Ben

    Anyone on here play flight simulator X?

    Hi all I'm learning to fly at the minute (in real life) and I'm wanting something to keep my mind ticking over when I'm not having lessons (as it's £130 an hour, and can only afford a couple a month) Does anyone rate flight simulator X? I've heard it's quite accurate and combined with a...

    First of all, I would like to say a MASSIVE thank you to all the guys at Top Gear Performance who carried out all this work and put up with me taking loads of pictures :D The first thing to do then is remove the old, heavy, restrictive exhaust... Then, instead of dropping the subframe...

    What's involved in fitting the Relentless manifold?

    So I've recently received my shiny new relentless manifold.. And I'm wondering what the best way to go about fitting it is? I'm thinking, charge pipe off and the red soft boost pipe off, cam cover off then set about the manifold bolts. I'm guessing with the design of it, and looking at it now...

The brake pads I ordered pitched up, some Ferodo Ds250, which to my horror upon opening the box were for single piston calipers... mine...

    Hi all, just after ranting a bit. So, I'm sat in one of those camping chairs with my iPhone in the little drinks holder, chipping old powder coat off some massive new calipers for my S3, and realised the chair was collecting little blue chips of powder coat and itching my bum some what... So I...

    Which braided hoses do I need?

    Good after morning. Just a quick one for anyone who has done this before, but I'm in a dilema as to which braided hoses to buy. I have an S3 8L, with Mk4 golf r32 calipers and disks! Question is, do I buy braided hoses for the golf, or the S3? Thanks Ben

    ECS Race N75 Frequency Valve - Good idea or waste of money?

    As the title says really, does anyone have one of these, and are they worth it? I'm aware of what it does, or at least what it says it does.. But is it bad for the turbo? My guess is not, at least on a standard car as the stated 1-3psi increase over the rev range is nothing compared to the...
