    Rear Window Regultor

    Did you manage to get it fixed? Mines just done exactly the same as yours. Thought my little boy had jammed something in it but no the regulator wire has worn. I've ordered the part from autodoc and hopefully it's an easy ish fix.

    Yes I've never seen the wheels before. They definitely have more of a concave to them which I prefer. I'll try and get a side on pic when the light is better.

    I'm not 100% sure what they are called, I'll have to ask the dealer when I go back. Although I'm sure someone will know.

    Collected my new 2ltr tdi (184ps) S line quattro in Lotus Grey on Friday. I came from an S3 8p sportback and thought I'd miss it but I haven't at all. Love the colour, pics just don't do it justice. Hope you all like.

    Leshkin's Sepang Blue S3 Money Pit Project

    Great car and build thread. I'm close to buying a set of the ST X coilovers. Just wanted to know your opinion, obviously you've said they're to soft for track driving. I will be using mine as a daily driver and the odd fast road use do you reccomend them for this or do you think there are better...

    Rs3 grill fitting.... Painting Crash bar!

    I gave mine loads of coats of plastidip. I don't think it needs to look amazing, just needs to be dark so it doesn;t stand out.

    diverter valve failure

    You did put a link in a previous comment, is that the one to buy for the S3 8p? Is it a direct fit or does it attach to part of the original dv?

    diverter valve failure

    I've never had it before though. Only started the other day and the car doesn't seem to hold boost and seems under powered.

    diverter valve failure

    I'm getting the same as this. This guy has changed to the rev D DV but still seems to be getting compressor surge. If you watch the video it's at 16secs and 44secs. He has a mk 5 golf gti APR KO4 setup.

    diverter valve failure

    Does this fix compressor surge? I have no other problems. The sound I can hear isn't very loud at all but like the boost is fluttering/hissing.

    diverter valve failure

    Am I right in thinking rev G has a diaphragm and rev D has the piston?

    diverter valve failure

    Which is the best rev D or G? And where's best to get it from, the stealers?

    diverter valve failure

    My car is stage 2 APR. Over the last few weeks I've noticed I have turbo flutter when lifting off the throttle but very intermittently. Today at I'd say peak boost although I have no boost gauge there is a very fast flutter/hissing noise which sounds boost related and a slight drop in power...

    Turbo Back Exhaust

    It would run fine I had my powervalve on for about a month before getting it mapped and never had a light come up. Ran as normal too. You may find certain exhausts throw up lights more than others though.

    Still love a good blue. Haha

    Sepang Blue RS3

    I'm guessing the one on the right is cornflower blue but I also think the one on the left is Sprint blue, not sepang blue.

    Sepang Blue RS3

    Just spotted a Sepang Blue RS3 in Poulton-Le-Fylde (anyone off here?), must be sooo rare. Never seen one before. Even considered leaving a note for them to get in touch of they ever sell it. Looked amazing even in the terrible weather. Does anyone know how many were made and how easy they are to...

    Exhaust Options

    I have the full turbo back with sports cat powervalve and it is worth saving for. They do a full time sports system without the powervalve too. Maybe ring up and see if they will do a cat back if theres a few people after one.
