Cheers for the info.
Unfortunately mine was mechanically destroyed by Oxford Skoda during an MOT, then Oxford Audi quoted the damage bill at just over 10k due to other associated components the deemed as U/S.
Anyways long story short..... I repaired it myself with a working spare sourced from...
Evening all,
To cut a long story short my Haldex got ruined by a main dealer on a brake test dyno and is now u/s - they are accepting no responsibility for the damage.
Audi have quoted the car as being a gen 2 Haldex (0AV) but the one I have found to replace it is a gen 4 (0BR), is it a...
We have Brembo discs on the TDI Quattro and pagid on the S3 both running ferodo pads.
The only thing i would say is that the Brembo discs have coroded on the shoulders whereas the Pagids havent and still look sweet inside the wheel. In terms of stopping potential both more than up to the job...
This is no way to deal with a loyal customer to the group!
Park the loan car next to *Cough a deep river!
Audi customer service appears to be getting worse, its ruining the brand! when i had problems i offered to go down and run bricks down every side of every car on the forecourt ...
Lol Plenty of Experts!
Definition of an Expert ex = has been, spurt= drip under pressure.
Take it to a fully qualified engineer who is experienced in this field - don't attempt it yourself as there is more to the system dynamics than clearly you and these guys know! (sorry to be blunt)
Do it...
As a rule of thumb if the air coming out the vents is between 8-12c cooler than the cabin temp when it is on max (lo) and have the fans set to auto, there is no problem and the system is working efficiently. it is just overwhelmed by the heat loading inside the cabin.
Don't waste the cash...
Afternoon all,
Looking at replacement and upgrade of brakes all round our S3 and just looking for some advice with reference to specific pads.
looking at Tarox F2000 discs all round to be run with DS2500 pads.
The questions really are
1. As the DS2500's don't have wear sensors it would mean...
Wow! some people get FAR too serious over this!
Alex_007 i think you're missing the point ........ never mind son!
Its not a case of which was faster a 350z or a Merc 55amg, or a case of if you had all the talent in the world in a RWD you would beat joe average in an Awd (also suggest you...
Incorrect i am afraid Alex the fact that you would be (and he was!) going sideways means you are breaking the limits of adhesion on your driven tyres. Put bluntly great driver or not he had 400bhp pushing through 2contact patches equating to 200+Bhp per driven wheel.
The S3 on the other hand...
Its been a while since I've driven the s3 hard so i figured that a good old italian tune up was required!
So this morning whilst on the way home i was cut up by a 63plate SLK55AMG coming off the M4......... Girly car if you ask me the guy looked like a total Richard head....... aka **** to his...
To clarify my car is a 59 reg on 80,000 miles, 1 owner possibly a sunday driver who didnt give the car an italian tune up once in a while.Sunday driver? ****** me where did they go every sunday to rack up 20k a year??? ........ more like reps motor! Run some ecomax fuel cleaner / similar through...
