Hi Guys, I have finally got around to replacing the rear diff and haldex on the car, it broke last year and I have only just got around to attempting to replace it. I got a spare haldex/rear diff off ebay last year, lets hope its works. Now I have put the rear of the car on axle stands and...

I have had this sitting in the garage for a few years. I finally ordered the Kufatec cable and fitted it today :) Just got to code out the TMC and make sure the other settings are correct :) Liam.

Hi I've been reading that lots of other platforms can have HHA retrofitted. I've searched in the C6/4F forum but found nothing. Is it possible on the 4F? BTW - I have a 2011 A6 Avant. Thanks, Liam

Hi Peeps. It's been a long time since I left a message but I've just had a whole stack of issues with the 'ol S3. The other half was driving the car this afternoon and she was accelerating (not too hard apparently) and the engine warning light popped on and the car lost power. I got home and...

Hi Just driving around as normal, pressed the clutch to change up. Pedal stayed down and the car is stuck in neutral. I coasted to a stop, off the dual carriageway fortunately, and took a look in the engine bay. Brake fluid sprayed around the bleed nipple area. It looks like the...

Hi As the title says really. My S3 has a long hex bolt that holds the driveshaft to the hub. i just got a second hand subframe (taken straight off an S3) with wishbones, hubs, and driveshafts. But the driveshafts have an external thread for the star nut on the end. Is it all inter...

Hi Before last winter my car was aligned perfectly - no issues and no wobbles etc. Back in the winter when it snowed, I managed to slide the car at low speed and clip the NSF wheel on a curb, which knocked the alignment out a bit. A day or so later, and before I'd had a chance to get it...

Hi chaps! I finally got myself a pair of LCR Brembos, they're in the classic SEAT peeled-lacquer faded-red colour. Got the mounting bolts, brackets, pipes, callipers, and some virtually brand new pads and discs - straight off an LCR. ECP have a deal on at the moment so I'm getting 1L of the...

Hi So I followed s3dave's Injector cleaning guide and the throttle/engine response is now much smoother and I seem to have a much nicer idle. http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a3-s3-forum-8l-chassis/119767-*-diy-injector-cleaning-how-*-pic-heavy.html Thanks to s3dave for such a good guide. In...

Hi Pretty much as the title says, will anyone going to AITP have their VCDS cable and laptop? I need to reset my servicing from variable to time/distance and my registered VCDS lite doesn't have that capability unfortunately. There's an ice cream in it for any kind soul who could help me out...

Hi I'm having a little trouble with the gear box on my 2001 AMK S3with 110k on the clock. Changing 2nd to 3rd crunches if I try to change up over with the engine over 3k. I have to let the engine revs drop below 3k to avoid a crunch. I've noticed when pulling up at traffic lights etc. I get a...

Hi Spotted two 8Ls today in Milton Keynes at about 6ish ... First was a custom-painted orange A3 8L looked like a 1.8T but completely de-badged, crossing junction 14 of the M1 into MK. I think the reg was LM52 ***. The other was a noggy blue S3-8L, all chaved up with a trick exhaust and...

Hi I was driving the car the other day and whilst braking on some bumpy tarmac the ABS kicked in for a split second. No problems, arrived at work, when I got in the car and started it to leave work the ESP and ABS warning lights came on and have stayed illuminated on the dash ever since. I...

These arrived today ... spacer pr0n! Tyres will arrive tomorrow and be fitted on my refurbed BBS Speedlines ... uber excited!

Hi, I just got a cheap set of 18" Audi BBS Speedline alloys. They were off an 8P S3, so am I right in assuming the offset on them is 54? I'm fitting them to an 8L so I'll need PCD adapters (5x112 -> 5x100), reading around the H&R ones are best and the only ones to go for? The average price...

Hi I noticed that my N/S front pads have twice as much meat left on them compared to the O/S. The O/S looks as if they'll need replacing very soon. Is it common for them to wear unevenly? Or could I have a sticky calliper? I've never noticed the car pulling to one side under braking and the...

Hi I finally got around to splicing in a replacement coil pack loom. Amazing how much difference it does make, the engine and throttle response seems much smoother now. I found my old one was pretty knackered once I'd removed the insulating tape. It's really scary making that first cut into...

Hi I have an intermittent problem with my Xenons. When I get in the car, turn the engine on, then switch the headlights on after a few seconds BOTH xenons switch off at exactly the same time. It happened yesterday when the car was cold in the evening. Got in switched on they came to life, and...

Hi, I just did a video showing how to remove/refit the electric adjuster on the S3 facelift headlight unit. It's the same for the A3 halogens I believe - dunno if it applies to other models. Show's how to do it with the light unit sitting on your lap but it's just as easy to do with it in the...

Hi Just had an MOT, coil spring is snapped, just a little bit off the end but a fail nonetheless. It has two coloured spots, can any one identify what colour the spots are meant to be? There's a bonus gratitude point for the correct part number too. BTW Car is MY02 S3 AMK. Thanks, Liam PS...
