    Hi - has anyone else experienced any issues with the DTUK box (1st gen) when the car battery charge is low ? I spent some time working at home and wasnt using the car much - I was getting battery charge warnings shortly after, even after charging the battery it seemed that maybe the battery...

    Paint splatter on my paintwork

    Hi - painters at work painting the outside of the building managed to get tiny splatters of white paint all over my car. It was the wind apparently. Anyway, they offered to pay for the paintwork to be corrected. It was apparently water based paint, tiny dots but by the time I'd noticed was about...

    2009 S3 - LED running lights - flashing ! Fault ?

    Hi, noticed when checking my CCTV that when I drove onto my drive the other day my LED Running Light on drivers side was flashing... I went out and put ignition on, started the car - seemed fine. Wondered if this was happening the other day when a driver in front was constantly triggering his...

    ECU Adaptation/Learning

    Ok, so we know that the S3 (20tfsi, 1.8t) can sometimes get a little bit lazy after a while - quite a few threads in the past but no definitive answers. I've had this on my last 3 S3's - one day it feels responsive and quick and another day it seems sluggish. My first 8L S3 used to have the...

    Hi all, any suggestions on what the difference is between these two Coil Pack part numbers - 07K 905 715F - what model is this one for ? 06F 905 115F - original S3 coil pack are both suitable for 8P S3 ? I did search about but couldnt find much about the 07K - only that is used on A4...

    Bluefin - power getting cut back

    I'm trying to figure out what could be causing my bluefin remap to gradually cut back power in my S3... I installed the map quite a while back and found a wonderful improvement to acceleration. After a while I started to feel it just wasnt quite as exciting and thought it must be me getting...

    VAG-COM - Moving from 8L to 8P

    Hi All, I did do some searches but non-the-wiser. I've just upgraded to a 8P S3 from a 8L. Used to do some bits and pieces with vag-com. I ended up buying the proper cable (non ebay, uk based ross-tech thingy) so I could get all blocks and capability. Has anyone / does anyone bother with...

    Symphony vs Symphony II

    Hi all. I've currently got a '03 S3 which has a Symphony in it. From what I understand, the new S3 is a Symphony II. Anyone know what the differences are ? Are there any extra exciting features ? (e.g. does it have input for MP3 player etc - I doubt it has after reading all the threads about...

    Buying New - any advice please

    Hi all, I've had my 8L '03 S3 for nearly 3 years now and love it to bits. I'm feeling its time to change and I also feel like the current S3 power is a bit hit and miss at times these days (REVO mapped) so I've been pondering over a new 8P S3, or a 3.2 S-line. A 2nd hand S4 is probably in the...

    Slightly different window problem

    Hi all, I've been looking through the threads for electric windows problems but couldnt find anything that resembled the problem with my passenger side window on a 03 S3. The window one-click seems to have packed up. I have disconnected the battery a number of times recently and have managed to...

    Brakes - first thing in morning

    Hi all, nothing to do with my previous post about getting new EBC's (& Red Stuff) as this also happened with my stock brakes beforehand... Each morning I reverse out of my drive (on a slight incline) - so I've got my clutch in and touching brakes not to hit the stupidly parked Mondeo across the...

    EBC Discs and Red Stuff

    Hello all, anyone out there replaced their stock discs for the EBC turbo groove ones ? I replaced mine (all round) a couple of weeks back along with Red Stuff pads. Since then I've done about 250 miles. When braking I'm hearing quite a bit of noise from the pads (whoosh type noise, more of a hum...
