Servo changed! Really wasn't a bad job. Don't get me wrong it's a big job, took about 9 hours to do but was fairly straight forward with no particularly awkward bits. Everything is easily accessible. The way I choose to do it, which may not be the quickest or easiest but worked fine for me...

So I've bought the bits from Audi and I'm starting it this afternoon and hopefully will finish before the end of the weekend! I spoke to one of Audi's fitters when I bought the parts to get a bit of an insight. He says I'm brave for doing it on my drive. I took that to mean that he thinks I'm...

Thanks. Can't find any info on A3/S3 8P, however I've done some digging and found a bit if info for the Mk5 Golf GTI which should be pretty similar. Apparently you have to remove exhaust manifold and turbo and other hoses and bits and pieces then you can drop the engine down about 6 inches on a...

A little advise please. I've got a MY2008 (facelift) S3. The last few weeks its developed a hissing noise noise from the drivers footwell whenever I am NOT breaking. After a bit of an inspection and reading up I've worked out that the servo must be leaking. I've done a few tests on the servo...

I've read somewhere that if the picture signal is lost to the RNSE that it will automatically switch off from the TV input. Could be that as your camera and interface start up that they temporarily lose signal? You usually get this at home as you turn your TV on to HDMI or something and the...

I haven't bought an adaptor yet as I want to make sure it's going to work first. The adaptor I'm looking at; NEW! Plug&Play AV multimedia interface - RNS-E TV DVD - AUDI A3 A4 A6 | eBay Just plug the camera into this interface and then plug into the back of the RNSE. Should work fine by...

How did you wire the reverse signal into the RNSE and what coding did you use?

Really want this to work flawlessly if I'm gonna invest the time and money in it. It's a G version RNSE. Was looking at a multimedia adaptor on eBay to send the camera signal in on the TV channel.

Hi, I have a 2010 RNSE (glossy screen surround, media button and chrome knobs) and I'm looking to fit a reversing camera. The problem I have is enabling the auto switch function when you put the car into reverse gear. I've done hours of hunting on forums but can only find info on the mk1 RNSE...

So I spent about an hour looking for the answer before posting here, then found it about 5 mins after my post. The answer can be found here; VWVortex.com - HALDEX Oil Change @ 40K

I've just in the middle of a major service on my 58 S3 and need to change the Haldex oil. I bought all the parts for the service from my local main dealer and requested the Haldex oil and filter. They supplied me with the oil (in a tin rather than the silicone style tube) and told me that the...

You still need the key to turn on the ignition and turn off the immobiliser.
