    S3 8V Stage 1/2 Manual Owners Clutch Question

    I have APR stage 1 with the Sachs clutch (AwesomeGTI remap/clutch package), I also replaced the flywheel as there was some blueing with the Sachs DMF. I totally agree with Damo, this gives a heavy pedal which took a while to get use too, especially as I had it done just a year ago and I'm doing...

    S3 8V "bludder from exhaust" on full throttle

    When I had my old Octavia vRS running on stage 1 remap, I had the occasional 'splutter' on full throttle. I removed the map and it never happened. I changed the spark plugs, but still the same. I did get error codes on 1 pot, it was in the end a single coilpack causing the issue..

    S3 8V remap with clutch/flywheel upgrade completed

    Last week I took the plunge and got the stage 1 APR/SACHS clutch package from Awesome GTI, along with some 11mm wheel spacers all round and various servicing done too. This also included the changing of the flywheel as it was spotted but not badly. I forgot to order the extra muscle for my left...

    S3 first service issue and advice please.

    I just had my 1st service (oil) after 10k and a year. TBH... I am confused with the scheduling Audi do... as the car did say oil service due in 190 days or 1100 miles? Yet the book said 9000 miles blah blah.... This seemed to be an issue with the dealer too, who couldn't comprehend why I wanted...

    MyAudi.com Map Update

    I got the same email the other day, then today received another stating they made a mistake... I have SD Sat Nav too! Sometimes, even emails take a wrong turn. Like the one we sent you recently about updating your car’s Satellite Navigation maps. Due to an error, we sent it to you by mistake...

    S3 caught doing 140mph in Wales

    a quick google search for speeding at 146mph... I see the 12 weeks was suspended for 2 years! ''was sentenced to 12 weeks in prison, which was suspended for two years, along with 100 hours of unpaid work.'' No mention of ban either, but assume there would be an automatic one?
