    DO YOU GARAGE YOUR CAR?

    S3 in one garage, Corrado in the other, can't see any sense in spending all that money on a car and then keeping the lawnmower in the garage. And there's nothing like getting in the car, starting the engine then pressing the button to open the door, no ice scraping or kettles or de-icer, the...

    Head lights INCORRECT adjustment LOWERED S3

    The wires you disconnect are on the back of the headlights, look on the radiator end of each light and you'll see a multi plug connected to a motor. The passenger side one is under the battery cover. Once these are disconnected there's nothing to adjust with Vagcom, you can however adjust the...

    Head lights INCORRECT adjustment LOWERED S3

    Leave the motors where they are and disconnect the wires from the motors.

    Head lights INCORRECT adjustment LOWERED S3

    When I was having trouble with mine Sebastian at Ross Tech said the range on the level sensors was 1.56 to 3.45 volts, mine was running 1.2 volts on the front at the time and I'm running standard ride height. So long as you're inside the correct voltage range, resetting headlight range should...

    EVO'S

    I don't think they're cool but I was a long time deciding between buying an Evo or the S3. I used to work on them in their true environment with a rally team and they are a truly awesome car, extremely capable and have performance to shame almost anything else built, even more impressive when...

    Preventing power cut when left foot braking

    I've only just read this thread, did anyone find a solution yet? My wife has the S3 today so I'll take a better look tomorrow but maybe there's an answer without vagcom. A couple of years ago I was working for a rally team and we bought two new Iveco vans with fly by wire throttles. Left foot...

    Hi from Singapore! :)

    Also known locally as the Four Floors of Whores. Strange cos the rest of Singapore is squeaky clean then there's this tower block just off Orchard Road (Singapore's Oxford Street) which is full of bars which are in turn full of girls imported from Thailand for a few weeks at a time.

    Corrado Rebuild

    A few months ago I decided to do something with the Corrado as it's been sitting in the garage getting rubbish piled on top of it since the S3 arrived. Job one was get some air in the tyres as the rims are shot and leak around the tyre beads. Then pull it out the garage, clay bar, polish and...

    Speed limits

    This ****** me off every time I go out in the car, I'm surrounded by 60 limit roads and it's like 40 is the new 60. Then you get into a village where the limit's 30 and the old dear you've been climbing all over the back of pulls away from you like 40's the new 30. And why is it that every...
