    Idling problems on 1.6 a3 sport

    would go with a fuelling/air problem. Mine used to fluctuate, turned out that the air hose between the housing and throttle body was ruined, letting too much air in. Replaced that, also cleaned the throttle body and has been spot on since. Hope yours isnt anything more serious like the MAF.

    Subaru alloys - Bore

    Hello People, I have been looking at some new wheels and know that Subaru's have same PCd and can work with the offset but the bore is 56.1 iirc that is 1mm smaller and expect that this means the would fit without spacers, if anyone has any other ideas could they let me know.
