This sounds similar to my issue. When I picked up the car and for a few days after it went like a rocket, but then it kinda felt a bit slower. It's not that noticeable but it's definitely not running as normal. Its been remapped so was super fast, and now it's still fast but not at full...
As above please. I've set the analogue one but the digital one randomly doesn't seem to read the correct time. The LCD display is kinda on the way out too, not sure if this would have any bearing on the clock itself though? It's a 99 S3, thanks.
The Audi workshop next door to where I work don't even own a smoke tester an my S3 has similar lacking power issue and can't really see any issues with it. Where can you buy smoke testers are they mega bucks?
My 1st and 2nd are slightly notchy too but otherwise fine. Not sure what it is, my thoughts are worn synchros but wouldn't worry unless it stops working! Rattle is prbably the heatsheild as mine had that problem. The bolts that hold it on had rusted so we put a small bolt through the rear...
I removed my scuttle at the weekend as like all you guys it doesn't clip in properly. The previous owner told me he'd had a new screen fitted so it's obviously a bodge carried out by ******** windscreen fitters. The little groove that the scuttle should clip in to appears to be part of the...
Argh I need to sort mine again! How did you discover which pipes were affected? I had a good look under the inlet manifold last night took a few bits out but could see any cracked pipes at all. Really need to smoke test it or something as it has to be a leaky hose. Failing that one of those...
Ok thanks mate. I scanned it just now using the Snap On diagnostic tool and it only showed the fault where i had disconnected the MAF sensor, nothing else, so now I have to see if its a split pipe or one of those valves (N75/DV/or pcv etc.). Argh I'm sure it's something simple bit just trying to...
I had this on my citroen a few years ago - driving to work (London) and could hear a wobbling noise, realised the ****** wheel was loose and about to fall off! It was my own fault though, couldn't believe it. From then on I did the wheels up fecking tight! :ohmy:
In order to scan it using VCDS do I just need one of those cables then the lite version of the software? It's definitely not on full power and not sure if it's getting worse (it's probably the same)...
So I just need one of those cables and to download vcds lite to scan it?
Also should mention the idle varies a touch too. Yesterday on start up after work was just ver 1000rpm but today sat just under?
Alright Fellas, I picked up my S3 last week and i am very happy with it so far. It has the QST 260Bhp upgrade package (have invoices for everything) I believe it may even be a replacement ECU, Miltek SS system and Forge Recirculation Valve, otherwise it's standard engine wise. I've been...
Yours is different to mine dude. Does anyone have one that is the same as my current one or can anyone explain how come there are different designs thanks
I only picked up my S3 last weekend but the cloudy lights were bugging me so I restored them. Here are my results. I got some Megs sandpaper and finished off the process using the 3M system. It's not far off perfect. Perhaps some more sanding would've done well but it's a hell of a lot...

Hello everyone, recently picked up my first Audi S3 and am very happy with it so far. I bought it as a cheapish but enjoyable/sophisticated daily whip as I already have a 106 Rallye track car (which is and has been a WIP for far too long now!)
Main target with the S3 is to get it looking...
