    S3 handling problem - suspected anti-roll bar "insert" + shocks

    Thanks for the info I spoke to the garage again yesterday afternoon. They are saying it is in fact the whole ARB that needs replacing. They said this is £50 plus two hours labour. Given that they are doing the shocks at the same time, this seems a bit high for the labour time to me.

    S3 handling problem - suspected anti-roll bar "insert" + shocks

    Hi, After carrying what was probably too heavy a load a while back (don't ask) my car hasn't been handling right since. There has been too much body roll on bumpy roads and it hasn't been tight going around corners. So I took it into Fontains to get it checked out and just had a phone call...

    le Mans 2007 - anybody going?

    Yes I'm going. Second year in succession for the S3 to go down. We have currently 9 cars going and 11 Houx Annex tickets in our possession, so PM me if you need a ticket.

    Remap or not to Remap

    Speaking of remaps, I thought AmD had dropped to £300 but now I can't find that price when I just looked. Also I've seen they've been taken over by BBT and Mega4. I guess that means they've dropped Revo? Are they still able to dyno stuff before they remap it? Dave

    Suspect Revo?

    I had this issue on my standard S3. Then a coilpack failed so I replaced the lot and I can't say I've noticed it since. Dave

    new concert 3 with bose

    Sorry to take this slightly off topic, but do any of these new radios have a connection for a DAB box? I remember a thread a long while back that said someone had seen something in VAGcom that was like a dormant function in the Symphony 2, but never heard any more of it.

    New 3.6 V6 Engine

    My guess would be the aforementioned 2.5 5 cyl bi-turbo for any RS model. *crosses fingers and hopes Auto Express had this 3.6 replacing the 3.2 in the TT.

    Chips with that? Revo and APR experiences

    Turn key to ignition but don't start, hold down throttle for 5 seconds, then 5 seconds off, then start. It's been mentioned in previous threads.

    Chips with that? Revo and APR experiences

    Maybe I spoke too soon. Did the 5 second throttle reset proceedure and I don't know if that helped, but it's back. Huge torque that you have to be very careful with in a traffic jam! :)

    Chips with that? Revo and APR experiences

    I agree with you on the 10bhp thing, but I am interested in finding differences at lower revs atm. As there is no difference in price between the two with all the options, if there is no difference on the road then the APR wins for getting a cruise control into the bargain. However I'm...

    Chips with that? Revo and APR experiences

    OK I've just had the Revo put back on today (from another dealer) and maybe I was remembering the last one with rose tinted glasses or maybe I have a fault, but both me and my passenger reckon it feels far more flat than last time. So maybe there is little to choose between this and APR. They...
