    S3 exhaust on A3 1.4 tfsi

    It would just be Aesthetic. A younger family member has purchased a lightly damaged a3 s line and expressed that they want it to look like an s3, which doesn’t take much I guess. Just the exhaust I don’t know much about

    Car not reaching running temp? :(

    Hi guys I have a similar problem. I haven’t tried anything at all yet but I did get a fault code on VCDS of the ‘High pressure sensor’ . Ignore the top fault, that’s been sorted. But my car temp doesn’t go above 60-70 and I have exactly the same car. 04 plate 1.9 tdi 130 avant AVF.

They run on 225/40/18s, but i guess I could go 235 on them if that looks better. Ideally don’t want to be chucking too much at them so I’m ok with the idea...

    In a mad pickle. Copart sold me a CAT B car advertised as CAT S!

    I kept ringing copart until I got someone who was a little willing to help. I said “ you are only allowed to sell Cat B cars to a breakers yard with a licence , so how are you going to explain selling a private guy like myself a Cat B car? I am not going to come after Copart if I can sort this...
