Nice, clean looking S3. Never seen kingfisher blue before. Welcome to ASN.

Thread resurrection ! Aerial gasket - from a company called car masts. Search for Audi A3, A4, A6, TT Roof Aerial Rubber Gasket Seal on ebay. Cost around £5.50 Easy to fit. Warm up in hot water to make it more pliable. Drop the rear interior light, undo nut from inside, remove remenants of old...

Mine are stable even under very heavy braking at high speed, though they'll overheat if I do it regularly. Try getting more air to the discs. The TT RS uses some lo-tech plastic scoops to achieve that. LCR brakes will do the job even better, but at a cost. Its not solely the disc diameter that...

Thanks for that Aragorn, it was starting to get a bit echoey here. I was trying to avoid too much of the dash substructure, but it needs to be done.

No one replaced the passenger airbag ?

Still haven't worked out how it's supposed to come out. Any one who has removed theirs give me a hint or two ? Please ?

Any one taken their airbag out of a 8L S3? Would really apprciate some pointers on how to get the thing t.

I've got a replacement airbag on the way - how doe the old one come out ? I'm sure one or more of you guys have done it before, either to replace it or junk it for track use.

I've removed the yellow clip which is attached to a strap made of seatbelt webbing and undone the bolts indicated in the manual, it just rattles around with no obvious way of removing it. Any one ?

I followed the instructions in the manual on how to remove the glovebox, which went quite smoothly. I also removed the T25 and T30 torx bolts holding the brackets on to the dashboard frame. Now I'm stuck, the airbag unit is loose, but I can't see how to get the thing out. Can't make head or...

I've found the A3 interior manual - so I'll use that. Any hints/tips ? (apart from read the manual)

Hi, need to replace the front passenger airbag -how do I remove it ? I've found the torx screws behind the plastic cover and the two in the glovebox. What else needs to be removed? I understand I need to remove the battery before disconnecting the airbag unit itself. Thanks

Richy 345mm ? strange size .... def not a standard S3/LCR/1.8T size. Won't fit in standard wheels

Good have them working - the reason they're swapped round is that the calipers were fitted left hand side of the hub originally and vice-versa. No one here thought of that here ...

take a look at this thread http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a3-s3-forum-8l-chassis/124741-brake-problem-audi-dealer-cant-bleed-them-even.html

Assuming you didn't drain all the old fluid, before putting the new stuff in ... any how. If you did, you've made the job 100x more difficult, as you've introduced air into the system. You may have to cycle the ABS pump too if you have done that. I believe you'll need vagcom to do that. (VAG...

The majority engines that have suffered from sludge have been run on Quantum .... and long life service intervals. Most oils are the same - Look at the base stock and the addictives. Quantum Synta fully synthetic gold is rated at SAE 5W-40 API SJ/CF, ACEA A3/B3. In fact the Halfords 5W-30...

I bought 16l of the stuff - its based on sythetic stock is the right viscosity and meets the following Vauxhall /Opel GM-LL-A-025, GM-LL-B-025, BMW LL-01, ACEA-A3, B4, API-SL CF. What wrong with using it in a 1.8T ?? The only VAG engines that need anything special are the PD engines and the...

Great, should work with my bam engine then

Thanks Jardo- I presume it'll need a cable or a wireless obd2 widget? Like a liquid gauge?
