This is specifically for a pre FL S3 (my car) with with generation 2 Haldex. Manual box.
I can’t figure out how ESP works. The car has so much mechanical grip with Michelin PS3’s. Dry and wet. Does it only work when the light dash flashes? Or is it working all the time? Is it cutting power if...
Im with Paddy on this one. In today’s world it is no longer socially acceptable to decat a car. The emission hardware is there for a reason. And with a map, a catalyst is even more important. We understand why. Don’t shoot me down with my thinking. I’m as much of a petrol head as anyone. A have...
Try the shifter cable ends next. They again have a rubber bush. There are metal inserts available. But I filled mine with a silicone adhesive. They are solid. Then reset the alignment.
Super. Have you noticed any additional vibration in the cabin? Even with 80k on the clock it’s extremely refined when sitting idling.
Also, can you feel a difference when changing gear?
Look at my latest thread. OPIE oils currently doing NGK plugs and coils for less than £100 delivered. Got mine today. The coils look like quality items. It started raining so didn’t get chance to fit it all.
I picked up an S3 six months ago at the top of your budget. Full service mostly from Audi. Two cam belt changes etc. From a good dealer, so a little more expensive over private, but Iv claimed the difference back in warranty claims. Thermostat as it wouldn’t warm up. Some alarm work as it kept...
Just about to order some NGK PFR7S8EG spark plugs from Opie with 20% off. They also have NGK ignition coils with the same discount. As my original coils have two original VAG, one Bosch and one no brand I wanted to change them.
Has anyone used NGK ignition coils before? Any issues?
I’m not sure you can get the B6 dampers for the S3? Tbh I’d have gone B4 if available. But the are not.
I’m not sure if Sachs made the springs originally for Audi? However they fit well. Sit as the original springs did, and the Sachs boxes specifically said S3 on them.
Seems to differ between years and 3dr/Sportback-

39/30 unloaded
42/42 loaded
42/38 M&S unloaded
46/46 M&S loaded
M&S I believe is mud and snow. So the first figure for be, when I just have the dog in the boot is 39/30?
I have no history to suggest the plugs have ever been changed, and the coils are mismatched brands. I am contemplating getting it mapped so call it a precaution.
