Hi all, tried doing a search but couldn't pinpoint what I was looking for. Does anyone have any picture instructions on how to change the rear pads on a 2011 S3? Is there any special tools required? Thanks

Oh I see. Which I'd imagine there is a charge for!

Let me guess not allowed to do this sort of thing then!

Hi all. Recently changed the DV on my S3 as was under the impression it was playing up but turned out to be my plugs. I therefore have a working Rev D DV for sale. It's on a car that's has only done 20k so is pretty much in new condition. £35 to anyone who wants it.

Yes. I think it was more the plugs than the DV though

So....new DV, new plugs gapped to 0.7mm and updated map from superchips = ****** rapid S3!!!! Think I gave a 911 drivers bit of a scare too

I went for NGK PFR7S8EG they were £10.50 from German and Swedish.

Yeah just bought one from Halfrauds. Just gently bend tip of the plug towards the electrode and keep checking the gap until there is very slight resistance. As I said next thing is to try the new map as it does feel like the knock sensor might be regarding the timing slightly

Gaping tool* damn autocorrect

So an update. New DV fitted this morning and taken for a drive, still some minor bunny hopping down the road between 2-3.5k rpm 😡! Off I went to get some NGK PFR7's and a falling tool. Old Bosch plugs out, two looked slightly more fowled than the others and in with the NGK's gapped to 0.7...

I've had the DV out once already. It's right at the front of the engine. It did feel like the plunger was sticking slightly when I took it out but until the new one arrives tomorrow I've no idea if this is normal or not. Where is good to buy the NGK PFR plugs? German and Swedish round the corner...

Well I've been to the Audi garage and ordered a new DV. Drive down there with gearbox in D and under now real load it drive perfect. Coming back putting my foot down it jerked and juddered as the boost came on up to 3500k rpm then ok. See what the new DV does otherwise I'll change the plugs and...

I've managed to read it. May need laser eye surgery now mind lol

Sorry it's difficult trying to read it all on the phone as my work IT don't let us loose in forums. We can't be trusted

Do you know what these plugs are gapped to as standard?

Which plugs would you recommend I go for should they be changed? I've been looking online and there seems to be Denso VK22 but not sure what I think of denso or NGK iridium IX?

I took it off and blew through the inlet to check for resistance. Last time one of there went on me the idle went very rough and the symptoms were very different. Not tried the MAF off. Just seems coincidental that the problems have got worse since taking the DV off and putting it back

Perhaps I'll change the DV and see if it helps. If not I'll do the plugs. If the DV has failed I'll see if Audi are prepared to reimburse me for the part.

Plugs have not been changed to my knowledge. Runs fine when on the original map. I don't want to put a Forge on as want to keep the car pretty original. One thing I forgot to mention is that since I took the DV out and put it back the hesitations have become more severe. Possibly coincidence...

I wanted to question the reliability of the Rev D DV valveeveryone seems to think is pretty bulletproof for remapped TFSI engines. I havean Audi S3 2011 with 24k on it. I recently went for a Bluefin Supechip remapand since doing so I’ve had problems. Initially it was just a huge flat...
