    AUDI S3 8P 2006 - INTAKE SYSTEMS

    Check my pic, it was a complete unit from Neuspeed so ask them and/or AFD in Preston. Why mess about fabricating when theres a specific box

    AUDI S3 8P 2006 - INTAKE SYSTEMS

    Not sure about the heat shield, I bought and had the complete kit (not just the P-flow) fitted at ADS in Preston in 2012. Good bit of kit :)

    AUDI S3 8P 2006 - INTAKE SYSTEMS

    My Neuspeed was the FULL CAI kit and not just P-Flow and was very good! Looks exactly the same as the pic above so check you're not just paying for a name....

    £30k budget - What car would you buy?

    What about the budget for the running costs etc...? I was recently faced with a similar dilemma and found out that the running costs of the RS models ramped up considerably from that of the S3 (that came straight from Audi themselves) You cant beat the sound of the RS (awesome), however, after...

    S3 LED DRL Bulbs

    Yep, I concur with Nigel that Trups is the man! Ive attached a couple of pics of the DRL and fogs I got from him for my previous S3

    DSG Burb

    DSG Burb

    Ive just changed from my 3dr 2007 S3 (8P) to a 2011 S3 Sportback DSG Black Edition. On my previous S3 I was running a stage 1 Revo, Neuspeed CAI & Milltek cat-back non-res exhaust. The Sportback is class, but, deffo not as aggressive or quick without the Revo which I'll have to sort...

    Bose System

    Haha, I don't wanna know about non Bose systems without RNS-E as I've had those and aware of what they sound like.... I was asking others with the same equipment as i was surprised & mightily disappointed in what should be a premium sound system on an excellent car. I'll update once its been...

    Bose System

    Its deffo nothing to do with the bass being full, i only turned it to full after it sounded so poor. It must have something to do with the fact i can access the DSP menu which vehicles fitted with a Bose system shouldn't be able to. At least i know its not stuck in engineering mode so its...

    Bose System

    All the settings (bass, fade etc) are ok, its the fact i can access the DSP menu which i shouldn't be able to with the Bose system. I'll take it back to Audi tomorrow and hopefully get things sorted but I'll let you all know incase others also experience similar issues.

    Bose System

    In my RNS-E manual it says that my unit shouldn't be equipped with DSP (Gala) and that vehicles with the Bose system are fitted with a dynamic background noise compensation system which automatically adapts the volume to the interior noise level.... Seems i'll be calling Audi on Monday! :(

    Bose System

    On my RNSE it has options for Gala off, 1, 2 3 etc which it would seem shouldn't be possible unless its in engineering mode (which it must be). Audi asked me if i wanted to use cd's to listen to music so i said yes, they told me they had "unlocked" the system which will now allow me to remove...

    Bose System

    Ive had a quick look and it seems that it maybe a VCDS setting and/or removing a Bose wire on the rear of the unit.... I cant believe this isn't something that loads of people haven't/aren't experiencing as I'm mightily disappointed with the Bose (premium) system compared to my previous...

    Bose does not sound right?

    Did you get this rectified as I've just got a 2011 Sportback with RNSE & Bose and the Bass is poor?!

    Bose System

    Ive been in the boot and theres no sign of a sub unless you mean concealed behind a panel? There's no sub setting either....

    Bose System

    Ive just changed my 2007 S3 (8P) hatchback for a 2011 S3 Sportback which is equipped with the Bose system. The car is great....apart from the sound system. My previous vehicle just had the standard Audi Concert system but it was much better than the Bose system which cant be right?! Ive got...

    S3 (8P) cat-back exhaust

    This is the response I got back from Milltek :( "The 3 and 5 door sport back share the same parts expect for the rear silencer so it will not be a direct swap. The 3 door rear silencer is much shorter on both the inlet pipe and the tailpipes so will not work on the 5 door sportback models."
