    Floor mats

    Stoke Audi had them for not too bad a price I seem to remember, I bought some new from there as I wanted them to match properly (because i'm anal like that).

    Mine has started doing this recently too, pain in the backside. I need to get out there and sort it out.

    the thought had crossed my mind you know, and further enhanced by the fact it's been fine all day too!

    Where did all my petrol go!!!??

    well I didn't know what else to do! It's only £20 anyway, and I was pretty sure it hasn't leaked as I'm sure I'd have noticed £40 of fuel under my car.

    Where did all my petrol go!!!??

    I wondered if it was, trouble is the fuel hasn't gone back up to where I think it should..?

    Where did all my petrol go!!!??

    Bizarre one today with the car. I put £30 of fuel in this morning and probably drove about 40 miles, the distance on the computer read about 170miles left and when I got home read about 135miles, so nothing wrong then. I then parked the car at home, and left it until this evening, just got in to...

    Routing mic cable for handsfree

    You don't need to prise off the trim, just pull the door rubber back and slide it behind the trim that way, much less hassle. The door rubber comes off so easily and just pushes back on - don't bother pulling trim off unless you really have to. I did this to install my Parrot HF and it was the...

    S3 surging when running from cold

    i think you can perform a test to decide if the N75 is shot, unplugging it maybe? Or i'm sure VCDS will tell you also.

    S3 surging when running from cold

    Turns out I had a faulty N75 valve, it's not only cured the problem I had with the surging but the boost now holds much better and more consistently through the revs....great little fix that one!

    Recaro seat creaking

    Mine both do it, I found the cure is to raise the bolster height slightly from the bottom, as the creaking only happens when the seat is done at it's lowest point on mine. My current annoyance is the glovebox and door cards creaking and rattling....drives me insane!

    Insurance between buying new and selling old... confused!!!

    I received a refund from Admiral when I swapped my policy from my XJR to the S3 last year, and i'm sure its not the first time i've seen it. Personally i'd declare the A3 SORN if you're not going to drive it and keep it somewhere secure until you sell it. Failing that, if you really need to...

    out of the box and finally onto my car 3sdm 00.1 !!

    I have to agree, as much as the car looks great on the wheels (and my fav colour for an S3 too) I can't believe you've spent all that money on a car, and new wheels, and then bought the cackest tyres money can buy...i'd rather save a bit of money on the wheels and get some good boots...

    Legislation that could ban our sport/modifications

    George Orwell was right, he was a pretty smart (and brave) fella. I don't think this is scaremongering though, I thinks there is some genuine moves to try and regulate what people do with their cars. The issue is more about how and if they can be bothered to implement it fairly and efficiently...

    downpipe and decat pipe arrived

    Are they in a spot where it's safe to heat them up with a blow torch? Always works for me.

    Whirring noise

    Well changing the oils is quite an easy job, and worth doing if it hasn't been done for a while. In fact it's quite common to find Haldex has been completely neglected if the car hasn't been serviced by Audi or a specialist that know what they are doing.

    Whirring noise

    Its unlikely to be the wheel bearing if it's under load, you normally hear them when either under lateral pressure (round a corner) or when cruising. I'd try plugging the hole in the exhaust quickly with a bit of paste and see if that changes things, then you'd know (thats not my idea of a...

    Legislation that could ban our sport/modifications

    We're all there buddy, but just because it's considered by a few of us as a hobby and that an industry exists around it doesn't make much difference unfortunately. I think what a lot of people fail to understand is that cars are actually pretty dangerous in the wrong hands, or even in the right...
