    S3 dipped headlight xenon bulbs.

    Guys, Trawled through quite a few headlights bulb threads recently as my nearside bulb died. But thought I'd start my own to clear something up. After looking at loads of recommendations I've decided to go for Philips D3S 35W X-treme vision 4800K Xenon. These retail at just over £100 each...

    More boost issues. 8P S3

    Was driving around earlier on and come across yet another problem. Pulled out to over take a car in 3rd gear, as the engine hit somewhere between 5-6rpm there was a pop sound and the car felt like I had slammed the brakes on. Came off the throttle and eased it up to a roundabout. Had it in...

    Forge 356mm 6 pot BBK

    Does anyone know much about this kit? Or have any experience running it? Having had them fitted, they work... They definitely stop the car quite well. Only issue is, under light braking the pedal and wheel judders around quite a bit. Once I break heavily the juddering goes away and all is...

    MOT Advisories.

    Just had the car MOT'd at an Audi dealership. And there's a couple of advisories... One of which I can't get my head around. OEM Recaro bucket seat... Been in the car since Audi built it in Germany. Apparently both front seats do not "tilt forward" ?? Everyone getting in my car has trouble...

    Boost leak?

    Has anyone got any hints or tips on trying to track down a boost leak? Tried the soapy water test around the pipes and fittings I can see, and no bubbles seen. Any where on the car I should be looking at specifically? I know what if the intercooler pipes is quite a common problem? Failing...

    Selling... Do I sell her as is, or split it?

    So, After taking out the new RS3 at the weekend and working out some figures, I'm pretty tempted to sell up and move on. Why not, eh? But the question is, do I keep my S3 as it is and try and sell it with the list of mods? Or do I split the car, putting it completely back to standard and try...

    Grinding/screeching/scraping noise from the engine?

    Car has recently been into Benfield to have some work done... Then off to Audi for a service. Now when I've received the car back, there's an awful sort of grinding / scratching noise coming from the engine on full throttle. Half throttle in 4th, once the turbo kicks in seems to give rattle /...

    S3 exhaust mounts??

    The tail pipes on my milltek seem to hang down a little lower than what I'd like. Are there better exhaust mounts you can buy that will bring it a little closer to the rear splitter? Just to tidy it up a little. Cheers!

    8P S3 disk and pad replacements?

    After going around Croft on Saturday my pads and disks are completly shot. Really bad judddering under heavy braking. Warped perhaps? Any suggestions and experience on which disk and pad combos work well for fast road / track?

    8P S3 Front Splitter Options?

    Lads / Ladies, Looking into a few splitter options for my car, just seeing if there's anything else anyone has come across? I know the Cupra R is a quite popular option...which is why I'm not overly keen on it. Found a decent one from the US (Lost the picture and link) but it was priced at...

    8P S3 Blowing exhaust

    Started to hear a dodgy fluttering noise coming from under the car at the start of the week. Managed to get underneath the car this morning and sure enough there was a hole in the exhaust. Seems to be in the little flexi section where the standard exhaust splits off into two near the small...
