Small, subtle mods.

[S3_XBT]

Hi guys, I hope everyone is doing well here, my S3 is pretty much standard apart from coilovers, K&N air cone and 20mm spacers all around. I was wondering what small mods you guys have done to your S3s, they don’t have to be functional, I’m just after some ideas so I’d like to know/see what you guys have done.

Are there any must do mods that increase the reliability, drivability and generally improve the experience of driving these cars.

Thanks for reading

Remove the K&N .

What the reason?

Sucks more dirt than a Dutch hooker .

So should I replace with standard air box or get a different one?

Standard VAG airboxes and stock filter for superior filtration , your turbo compressor wheel will thank you for it !

Here's a couple for you if you haven't done them yet...

Put an oversize TIP (turbo to inlet pipe)...@badger5 is the one most recommend...

80mm TIP Fitting instructions

Below is a how to fit a B5 80mm TIP... if in doubt get a competant person to fit this, or alternatively we can fit them for £45+vat Firstly remove your original TIP from the car. If you cannot manage this, then please consider getting someone to help fit the new TIP. Once tip is removed clean...

I fitted comfort indicator relay, which is a cheap modernisation...

A few subtle mods I’ve done over the past 13 odd years include:

1. Changing the Audi 6CD changer to a Panasonic 8CD changer (works with OEM headunit). Who wouldn’t want two extra compact discs!!

2. Retro-fitted the factory auto-diming rear view mirror, cruise control and centre arm rest.

3. Fitted LED interior upgrade kit to replace the yellowy standard bulb types (kit courtesy of EM Tuning).

4. Upgraded BOSE subwoofer to Andy Mac stealth subwoofer (AMSS). Integrates nicely with the remaining standard Bose kit and sounds great.

5. Bi-xenon headlights courtesy of EM Tuning.
