updates?

potato, potatoe :grinning:... A while ago I saw a thread about dark vs light headlining... didn't want to get into that debate again, but I do love the way it looks in light gray (or silver :innocent:).

Any updates on this? Hope everything's going on as planned!

Lots of Imolas where I live. Matter of fact, almost got one... but in the end I couldn't picture myself driving in that interior daily. Ended up with light gray alcantara interior, and I've gotta say I do like it a lot. Not many pictures of the interior, except for a few selfies with my niece :)

Go figure! I would've thought they were tough!

What about fitting a 3.2 8N TT's engine? Could you also use the DSG gearbox that came with some of those? I assume it's still the same drivetrain and stuff.

How come I didn't see it! I was so concerned about what the R32 ECU wouldn't allow me to do, that I didn't even think about adding something fancy to the mix, like Haltech or MoTeC. Not simple at all, of course, but at least there ARE professional tuners around who have used these, which comes...

I'd love to try something like this as well, but there aren't any options for custom maps where I'm currently living, so most people just get the premade stuff for their 1.8T's from Unitronic, Revo, GIAC, etc... Been thinking about getting Maestro Tuning Suite so I could get custom maps for...

Checked once more, this time had enough time to get off the car, open the hood and check thoroughly. Apparently, it's just a misaligned fan rumbling like hell. going to the garage tomorrow or Tuesday, we'll see!

I don't really think so... I mean, I know our cars cooling systems keep pumping when turned off, to avoid turbo damage (heh... "Turbo Damage" sounds like a character from a 90's movie), but it was never that loud before, and I do feel some rumbling when in the cockpit. I do think it happens when...

So fat it's happened 3 times in 2 days... las night I tried gearing in 1st and releasing the clutch but it still ran, so I figured it wasn't the actual engine, at least not fully. Got off the car and recorded this vid. Definitely not engine sound. Also note there's some background noise.

I think it´s definitely the ghost, but I´ll check the other stuff too, just in case. Little update... it behaved alright all morning, but just now (14:00, GMT -4 here) it happened again and I also noticed something more worrisome... a slight smell from something burning :sob:

Hi! It's been a while, not much to report on my S3 except this... when I got home last night, I turned the key and the engine didn't turn off. Everything else did... dash, radio, even the "lights on when car off" alarm beeped, so the car actually thought it was off, but the engine was running...

Trick is to go through the scuffs with your fingernails (not scratching them, use your nails actual surface). If you can feel the scratches, then damage is too deep to buff/polish. Otherwise, you're good to go. Start trying with a nice polish, and if that won't do the trick, switch to a heavy...

Damn! My car was built for the Japanese market, with stock left hand steering... hope it's not odd enough to make an issue of finding the right part. I'm searching the info right now, although it's in German, which I can just barely understand.

Really? Both dual mass?

That's exactly the one in my shopping cart. Flywheel... check!

Hi! I've been reading a ton of threads re. clutches in the 8L forum, and although I didn't want to "pollute" the board with more clutch discussion, I do have a very brief, specific question that I didn't find. Does anyone have the part numbers for a 2001 S3? I'm looking at the full kit plus...

That's exactly the reason behind the original post... it seems like he's asking for help on finding one of those, today.

It could also be due to a faulty brake light switch. edit: just read that last post. wasn't there when i first loaded the page. never mind!
