Oh, I got the link to the PDF from this nice thread that you might want to read as well: http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a3-s3-sportback-8p-chassis/98467-3-2-cam-chain-stretch.html

Sorry, my previous post was form a device on which text input was challenging, so now I'm back again with the info you might be after: Various sources report that blocks 208 and 209 are no clear indication of the status of your chain: people have been running fine for quite a while with these...

there is a way of knowing if the chain is stretched or not, by unscrewing 1 or 2 bits and looking at the timing markers. it is a 2 hour job, max. I will look up the details for you.

(kind of piggyback'ing along on this topic because I may face a similar issue with a 3.2fsi) Can't you just put some new exhaust tips on it, instead of swapping the exhaust itself? If so, what would be a good choice of tips?

Ok I found this thread that pretty much answers my questions: http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a3-s3-sportback-8p-chassis/63799-facelift-s3-8p-rear-diffuser-part-number.html

Ok, as much as I appreciate your replies, I'm still confused! :think: But maybe I should be more clear, so I'll put some pictures up. Here's the car in question: It's a 2005 A3 that's been fitted with a pre-facelift S3 front bumper (with the mesh fog grilles, not visible in the pics) and a...

Could anyone please comment on this? I thought the rear valances were the same for 3dr and 5dr, am I wrong?
