    W3STY's Progress Thread

    I see Karl still offers priceless input to this forum :) hope you're well mate. The x35d engine is a beast when remapped and will still return decent economy, especially if you compare that to the cars mentioned above. Like I said, it ticks a lot of boxes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The S3 went 3 years ago. Might be a bit late now. I'm on my second car since the S3! The BMW 535d ticks most of my boxes. Fast, economical, fun, comfortable, big enough for the kids and all their sh!te. I do miss the S3 though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Every cloud has a silver lining. Engine failures are bad, but engine upgrades are awesome. Good luck for the future build mate.

    Hey! Or a 535d ;) Congrats Nick looks like you had a great day. Now begins the countdown to baby Prawns. Are they classed as shrimp?

    That won't happen either mate, you'll just get a saloon or estate. I hear an RS6 has lots of room for all the kids stuff.

    I had that same issue with one of my wheel speed sensors. I'd fitted it myself and it wasn't quite seated correctly which meant at speeds under 10mph there was no reading from it and the ABS would pulse. In VCDS I could view live data of all 4 wheels and I could see one of the rears went blank...

    17545 - Fuel Trim: Bank 1: System too Rich

    No, never got to the bottom of this but to be honest I never had a good look at it as it was for a guy at my old work place. He ended up selling it as it was at the time.

    Was a pleasure meeting you at GTI Inters a few years back, and one of the best kept S3s I've ever seen. All the best for the Fiesta.

    Vent To Atmosphere ??

    @A3 T That wonderful MS paint pic of mine you posted was my first setup before I changed it to vent to atmosphere instead of putting all the muck back into the TIP, therefore back into the engine and reducing octane in the fuel. Bung the TIP and bin the hockey puck, then run hose from the...
