    S3 2008, timing chain?

    I had my chain done at about 87k it's not really something you need to do unless it gets noisy. It cost me about £650 odd so (I had the variator thing done too). I wouldn't waist money on it if it's not noisy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Lots of front wheel spin? S3

    All done at a cost of £471 :rage: Yea parts were about £280ish and labour about £170ish. Hate it when its always plus VAT too. If i wanted to know the price before VAT id ask! :expressionless: On looking at the old pump it looks piece of **** to do so i wish id had a bash myself:tearsofjoy: Oh...

    Lots of front wheel spin? S3

    Thanks, i did think it wasn't right. The fuse is still good so must be something else. Question is will it be ok to drive for now?

    ok maybe i shouldnt have assumed that. Yes it is a 2011 S3 8P Quattro.

    Lots of front wheel spin? S3

    Well considering its never done it before and the tyres have plenty of life left in them would suggest more than that. I don't drive like a lunatic to make it spin.

    Lots of front wheel spin? S3

    As the title suggests i am getting a lot of wheel spin from the front wheels under heavy acceleration. I tried using launch control but i just got one massive wheel spin. Has anyone experienced this before and solved the problem? Thanks

    S3 2010 S-Tronic with turbo lag when changing gear?

    Just letting you know i've fitted a new DV and all seems well! On comparison the old DV felt a bit slack when i depressed the piston compared to the new one. It was a Revision D valve.

    Well it is on 87k now and I doubt it's been changed either.
