I had one of my power steering pipes break a couple of months back and after replacing it and bleeding the system a few times I've still got whining. There's no leaks from the rack or banjos so thinking of replacing the pump. Is there a guide about? It looks like only a few bolts but more...

Firstly this was the most seized end/lock nut I've ever come accross, secondly the allen key hole in the bolt part disintegrated so I couldn't get it off. In my wisdom I partially cut through the bolt hole whilst leaving plus gas to soak into the lock nut. The lock nut was having none of it and...

I found a leak in the return pipes for the PAS, in the hard pipe, just before the p clip before the rack. Will I be ok to cut out the damaged pipe work and replace with high pressure hose, or is that likely to shoot off the remaining hard pipe at the first sign of pressure? I've seen barbed...

Following on from this thread http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a3-s3-forum-8l-chassis/204015-serious-sounding-drivetrain-noises-grinding.html I finally got a chance to look at the car in daylight for the first time. The 3 bolts for the gear box mount have sheared off, right at the end of the hole...

I set off on my way home today suddenly get an intermittent knocking sound on the nearside which sounded like perhaps the caliper was binding on the disc, something rotaional anyway. Carried on but it got worse and worse over the (slow) 3 miles home. I parked up half way jacked up the wheel and...

I've got creaking when going over bumps (I go over about 20 bumps a day, unavoidable). At first I thought it would be the axle bush, and was pleasantly surprised to find poly bushes there as I hate changing them. Anyway I thought I'll grease them and all will be well, not so much. I've had quick...

I have a non Bose 8L S3 and have just bought a second hand Pioneer Avic-F30BT. After reading various posts about what I need to get it going, I think I have everything required. I was just going to test it tonight and fit it properly at the weekend so hooked up a PC9-404 harness (blue connected...

I had two new tyres fitted on Monday but have had intermittent flickering of the traction control light. I know the front tyres are too small and I plan to change those on pay day but I needed rears for the MOT yesterday. I seem to remember reading about Haldex not being happy about rolling...

Is this the correct procedure for a rear driveshaft nut on an S3, seems a low torque? Wheels must not be in contact with ground when tightening drive shaft as otherwise wheel bearing could be damaged. ‒ Have second mechanic press brake. ‒ Tighten twelve-point nut to 250 Nm. ‒...
