    S3 8L can’t calibrate steering angle sensor

    No I only had access to snap on at the time, but will be trying it on vagcom sometime in the week. It was the same code though, 00778

    S3 8L can’t calibrate steering angle sensor

    I never touched mine, I assumed that it had lost calibration and just needed re doing. Tried it, didn’t work.

    S3 8L can’t calibrate steering angle sensor

    Following this as I have the same error code after recently changing my steering rack. Tried to recalibrate on snap on but didn’t work so going to try it on vag com soon.

    clutch/flywheel options

    I have a 1.8t s3, converted to smf last year and got the cg motor sports carbon Kevlar stage 2 kit. It was really smooth for the first couple thousand miles but then the pedal started to feel notchy.. Had the chatter on idle straight away but that didn't really bother me. But after awhile...

    What spacers!? (size)

    Yes I'm on oem 17" I don't know the measurements of how low I am. On vmaxx coilovers which are maxed out at the back but still have a slight gap in the arch. Front are abit higher

    What spacers!? (size)

    It depends what look you are going for, weather you want the wheels flush with the arches or still poking in a little. Obviously if you have it flush, you have more chance of rubbing.. I personally have 25mm spacers on the rear and 20mm up front. The front is flush with the arches but the...

    Ported cylinder head value?

    Thanks for the graphs, I have seen them on your thread. But I couldn't seem to find much else on a gt30 graph. What was your spec when you had that turbo? Ported head?

    Ported cylinder head value?

    Gt3071r size ideally. Would be happy with a reliable 400, low boost. Will it help for response at all at this level?

    Ported cylinder head value?

    Interesting, surely a ported and polished small port would be a benefit towards improving throttle response and spool over an imported small port head surely? For example if I didn't want to make the step up to large port but wanted to get the best flow out of a small port? Surely that will...

    Ported cylinder head value?

    I understand what you are saying but regardless of power and what the head should be linked with to see benefit, I am just curious as to what people would expect to pay. I'm at a point where I am unsure weather to send one off for porting, have a go or buy one already done. Standard sized...

    Ported cylinder head value?

    Im wondering what the average value would be for a ported and polished 1.8t cylinder head. I've seen cylinder heads going online for a couple hundred quid or so (just the bare head) and I've had a quote from a motorsport place saying it would cost around 350 ish to gasket match port and polish...

    vibration, knocking standing water

    I have exactly the same thing but haven't found the problem so just here to find out I'm afraid. Car drives absolutely fine until go through a puddle of water or heavy rain on the road resulting in loud vibration, exhaust sounds like its blowing and a knocking noise somewhere underneath the arm...
