Yep. Order a cable of eBay (around £10) and software for ross tech. It's limited in functionality but can give you faults codes for the whole engine. You can also clear them. For the cost I recommend anyone if a vag car to get one.

Hi guys My s3 has just developed a weird fault, the temperature needle flashes, like it has a dodgy earth or connection. It's only the temperature needle that's effected and no fault codes across the engine or instruments. Anyone else has this issue before?

I recently did this my self. Used the 3M kit. A little expensive for sand paper however the drill attachment and number of pads made it easy. http://www.amazon.com/3M-39008-Headlight-Restoration-System/dp/B001AIZ5HY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1368829935&sr=8-1&keywords=headlight+restoration+kit...

Slightly better in performance, it is louder. But at £15 I wouldn't hesitate doing it again.

I've had my s2000 most of the winter. No issues. (Is within a heat shield mind)

Note: when popping bumper out try to apply some heat first. It will be easier and less of risk of it cracking.

Hey. That seems a little pricy to me. (Depends on your area - I'm in Plymouth) I got quoted for a repair to my front bumper (mainly filler job not major) respray of both wings and bonnet to match it all in (bonnet has dent and heavy fading) for £400-£450 from a highly recommended bodyshop...

Hi, Thats look ok, depends what you want from a stereo, i just brought a used Alpine head unit from eBay for £70 delivered, that has built in bluetooth, parrot and iPod controls. (As well as cd, AUX and USB) Worth shopping around, IMO second hand head units you cant really go wrong with Dan

Progress since last post. Fixed a annoying issue with the N75 valve. Had a smoke test - no boost leaks :) Today I restored my headlights. The headlights were very bad - almost MOT failure. Spent the day sanding and polishing. Very happy with the results. I have also sprayed the chrome...

I had something similar - turned out being the antiroll bar droplinks causing it. (Failed MOT on it) Edit - For me - The FK ones that came with the lowering Kit were sh*t quality and only lasted 18 months

Cheers Tuffy. I had it smoke test this morning too and found no issue. I will try getting a WOT rest and see what happens. Thanks Guys

Ok. Looking at the symptoms of IAT Sensor thou - struggling to start, and less power than normal, (poorer than normal mpg) does seem plausible. Unless any other suggestions?

Would the IAT sensor log a fault? I have no fault codes.

Thanks guys, my cars not mapped. It wasn't sat for very long and didn't change when revved. Would you recommend changing that sensor then? Does anyone have a image of where it is located? Thanks Dan

Hi, My S3 hasn't been running as it should so took it a local garage where we ran some test. Smoke test showed no boost leaks :) However when reading engine statistics it showed the air intake temperature as 58c. As much as i wished it was that warm it clearly isn't. Does the S3 have a...

Hi Guys, My car (S3 8L 210) has been struggling to start recently (and the temperature gauge had stopped working) so thought i would get it a quick scan. I got two fault codes : 16502 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (G62) Signal too high intermittent And 7956 Boost Pressure Regulator Valve...

Finally getting round to ordering my badger5 tip - looking at the different kits available is it worth getting the kit with the billet adaptor? Judging from the eBay shop it looks like £50 difference? Is it worth the extra? If so i am looking at getting the heat shield and cone kit which...

Hi, I have the same problem with my N75 and wiring and search prompted this thread. Did you rewire the cables back to the ECU? (I assume that where they go) or just a section. Any tips in doing so? How long did it take and is there anything to watch for? I ideally don't wanna follow it all the...

Sorry to bump this - just wanna check it's the same thing before splashing out again. Cheers ahead

Driving it this afternoon i noticed it was behaving very irratic. It got to temperature as expected. But the longer I drove (I.e the warmer the car got) the temperature went down to eventually 60c It's like it was working in inverse. Is this behaviour signs of the temperature sensor gone again...
