Hi , Just joined up on here as back in an Audi Seat 
, did have a 225 TTR in 2008 but sold when my little man come along and got a 330D tourer , well thats just been sold as wanted an S3 even when i had the TT i fancied the S3 , well got an Avus silver 52 plate 91k S3 with silver leather , all standard which is how i like to start things , even has orginal alloys ... car has been neglected IMO and not to my standard anyway as not looked after and treated like any old car , deffo was not owned by an enthusiast .... Service history is not too bad , cambelt was deffo done at 45K by M/dealer , last one done at 89k but the company who did this turns out to be linked to the same company who sold me it !!!!
So i have questioned it and they ensure me it's been done with pump , tensioners etc along with haldex oil .... Just have niggling doubts because of other issues , also the service was done at 89k , but my service started counting down a few weeks ago , and as you know , once this starts , it drops quite quickly and now saying due in 100 miles , so did they reset or no service been done ???? S/ Book looks like all 10k intervals which i prefer ...
Cant be asked with asking the dealer who i bought from anymore with other issues as winds me up .. I have spent 2 days on the interior getting the leather back to a decent look with Gliptone scuffmaster dye and conditioner and does look much much better , Going to be doing a new oil service this w/end with new filters etc , this week i have also changed some of the dreaded PCV pipes as could smell oil fumes and found 3 split pipes , the main was the big one from the block which goes into T housing connection which was in half !!! so have changed all these bits , so it's getting some TLC now ...
Turbo seems to be fine , run on pump was running slow and struggling so removed , cleaned out and running 100% Now ... Noticed a headlight adjustment screw is missing and a cowboy has put a screw in next to the rod to stop in moving , Quality !!! went to a scrappy to get the cog wheel adjusters but these wont go on as the Rod is worn so have secured a nut on there now ....
Top turbo boost pipe , top left , keeps moving off the metal pipe where its secured , have tightened j/clip as tight as it will go but it keeps moving back a little , do i need a new clip ??? And finally , looking for the engine bay trim that covers reservoir bottle as missing, cannot find one anywhere and is £90.00 from dealers.. well i look forward to chatting with new guys with same interests ... Cheers....
