Do you have a part number? I think mines gone so need to get this replaced once I've checked wheel balancing.

It's open at idle, as soon as you move it closes and then it opens again at around 3500/4000rpm.

BCS sports cat here, I clear the code for MOT time but passes emissions perfectly fine. It soon comes on again after a few days.

I've got a BCS sports cat and down pipe mated to a Milltek non-resonated system. I had to cut off about 3/4 inches from the sports cat as it was too long so just be aware of this. If you have an angle grinder or a metal saw it's easy enough to measure up and cut it to size.

Not another one in Grantham :wink:

How did you find the brakes? I'm potentially looking for new pads. I have the same setup as yourself but the Pagid blue RS 4-2's caused massive brake wobble for me when I've been out of track.

Of course but a turbo'd car will feel the effects of this less due to it being forced induction and not relying on the engines ability to suck air into the chamber. I'm not saying it won't have an effect, I'm saying it wont have as much an effect. Either way if his valves were clogged to the...

Clogged up inlet valves on a turbo car isn't as bad as a non turbo car like the R8. Sounds like you have a faulty MAF, have you tried unplugging it and seeing what you get? Either that or one of your lambda/O2 exhaust senors is broken and is causing massive over fueling. I'm able to achieve...

I had mine changed at about 84K and I had been at Stage 1 for about 10K of that. The clutch was still fine although I did have it slip twice but then it never slipped again. I simply changed it as I did plan to go further power wise.

19 years old, an RS3 and a lot of modifications. I'm jealous of the car and money being spent on it! Nice to see something like this being done though. Has this been bought outright or is it on PCP or other finance options if you don't mind me asking?

Red RS3 spotted on the back roads heading towards Manchester from Sheffield. Driving it like it should, it sounded very nice!

It's a pig of a job to get that off. Don't use too much force the wrong way as the clip is quite fragile and prone to cracking.

I had this on mine recently and it was the lock mechanism rather than the control module.

I had an old tuned Clio and over taking in that was easy, doesn't mean it's built for motorway cruising. Yeah the S3 is a jack of all trades but in my opinion the suspension is a bit crashy and at 70mph if I remember right in 6th it's like 2700/2800rpm. Coming from a Civic though which is more...

It's a hot hatch, it most certainly isn't built for dual carriage ways or motorways! B road bashing and single carriage A roads ill give you that.:blow:
