    Went to look at a B7 RS4 for the first time and have a couple of q's?

    Great Mike, many thanks for that. The headlights are indeed a concern, would be interested to hear from any other RS4 owners if they have experienced a similar problem?

    Went to look at a B7 RS4 for the first time and have a couple of q's?

    Hi Folks, Went to see a nice example of a used RS4 yesterday, first time I've looked at one of these, would appreciate if anyone can clear up a couple of points for me. 1. The strips that run across the bottom of the doors. When you look along the side profile of the car (i.e. if looking for...

    North East Motors - Newmachar Aberdeenshire

    Has anyone tried this place for service and/or diagnostic work? I see they're advertising themselves as the main dealer alternative for VAG vehicles.

    2010 Audi S3 running rough on cold start-up

    Third service so just an oil & filter change so they shouldn't have been poking around anything else to upset anything.

    2010 Audi S3 running rough on cold start-up

    I've got a 2010 model with 28K which now has started running rough on initial cold start-up. It's almost like it's misfiring but tough to say. Quite a strong smell of petrol as well. After a couple of minutes, she comes good and no issues at all when running part-warm or hot and no engine...

    Looking for recommendation to fit H&R Srings to S3 in Aberdeen/shire

    Is it necessary to get the alignment checked/reset after only a 25mm drop? Local Motorsport company has quoted £360 to supply and fit the springs including a full geometry check using Hunter equipment. About £80 of that is the geometry check.

    Looking for recommendation to fit H&R Srings to S3 in Aberdeen/shire

    Yeah, I should really just do the job myself. Reasonably handy with a spanner, fitted coilovers to my Clio trackcar no probs. A guide would of course help to see if there's anything specific/peculiar with the S3 set-up.

    What's the valve thingy on the rear exhuast silencer on my S3?

    Thanks mate, so if I fit a Milltek exhaust, do I just block the rubber pipe with something?

    What's the valve thingy on the rear exhuast silencer on my S3?

    I know a pic would be useful here but there seems to be some kind of valve thing attached to the back box of my S3 with a rubber pipe going somewhere. What's this for and if I plonk for a catback Milltek system, does it come with the same valve?
