    Would someone measure their grille for me

    Would so one be kind enough to measure these dimensions of their grille for me please. Since no RS style grille is available for the pre-facelift 8p S3, I'm looking into making my own. I need to find a honeycomb style grille that is big enough to fit into the standard S3 surround. Blue lines are...

    Wheel geometry setup

    I've just come back from the Nurburgring last week, and discovered the inner edges of my rear tyres are scrubbed off. General consensus seems to be that my rear toe is out. It's going in for alignment check next weekend. What settings are people using for a fast road/occasional track set up? I...

    Need help ASAP

    We've just had my car jacked up, and changed the haldex controller to see if it would cure my intermittent 2wd/4wd fault. We've let the car back down, went to start it, and it won't even turn over. And it's flashing up on the screen with a brake problem. But It won't even connect to vagcom now...

    What suspension parameters can be changed on the S3?

    I was under the car earlier, trying to see if I could avoid my new rear tyres catching te arches without removing my spacers, and was looking about at the camber and stuff. It obvious where the camber adjusts from, but I wondered if you do that, will it throw the rear toe out too? So I was...

    Help. I have a 2wd quattro

    Recently, occasionally, my car has flashed the esp light on a few times, but it's never registered a fault when checked later on. Then the other day, when I first started the car, it beeped and came up on the display with ESP fault. I turned the ignition off and on again, and it was okay...

    Can I change iPod connection to aux?

    As above, can the iPod connector in the glovebox be changed out for an aux cable? My connector seems to be VERY temperamental, and has only worked a handful of times. I'd much rather just be able to plug it into the headphone port on my phone, and be able to control it from there.

    S3 with RS3 calipers, but not with TTRS discs

    I know it's been covered a lot, and that to fit the brakes you need ttrs discs, but after reading about on some sites, the ttrs discs seem to be prone to warping easily. A lot of people are fitting them to golfs, using a custom bracket from AKS Motorsport. This enables you to use 340mm TTS...

    Moffat's S3

    I never introduce myself when I joined this site, so here's a bit about me and my car. I joined this forum back in Feb a few days after purchasing my S3. Previous cars have been an Astra CDTI 888, a Leon Cupra R, and an Astra GSI turbo, among other things. I'd originally wanted an Evo, but...

    VCDS to reset oil service or not?

    Changed my oil and filter today, after the oil service indicator coming up on the screen. Is there a manual way or resetting that service counter, or is it a VCDS action?

    What's with people asking questions in the How-to section?

    I was looking in the how-to section, looking to see if there'd already been a particular how-to made, and if there hadn't, I was going to add one. All I saw are posts of people asking how to do something. Is there a section anywhere where there are actual how-to guides, instead of people...

    Eventually found the annoying noise in my car

    I've had my S3 since the start of the year, and there' always been an annoying noise in it. When I corner hard, something is loose in the car, and rolls back and forwards from side to side. I've had 2 weeks off work recently, so decided to get to the bottom of it. I started by taking the rear...

    Cooling fan running for no reason.

    Over the past few days, I've noticed my cooling fan running quite often. It isn't when the car is up to temp, and can even be from cold. It's warm weather at the minute obviously, but i don't think that's to blame. Also, i've been leaving my aircon off and listening for it, and it still comes...

    RS3 style grille for pre-facelift S3?

    What are the choices for us poor folks with a pre-facelift S3, who like the look of an RS3 grill? I know there's always the Black Edition grille, and the likes, but what about honeycombe options?

    What are these wheels?

    I was looking through the photos thread at the top of this section, and saw this S3 which looks to be on a 19" ? version of the standard S3 wheels?

    RNS-E. straight in plug and play?

    My S3 has the concert head unit, but I've always liked the RNS-E nav unit, primarily for the fact of putting music onto an SD card to save on the amount of CDs lying about, but also as it has NAV, and it looks good. Looking on ebay, they're readily available, with the GPS antenna. How much of...

    Milltek decat without remap

    A few weeks ago, I got a Milltek decat pipe for my S3 off a friend for a good price. I said I'd have it as long as he fitted it, as i know it's a ballache, but he'd already fitted it to his, then removed it again (for selling the car). When he'd first fitted it to his, he didn't have it mapped...
