Hi - been away for too long, but looking to get back in another S3 - would like a facelift one that has had some mods done, ideally suspension and brakes. Alcantara interior a must. Big turbo conversion would be great, like my old one. Prefer black, silver or nogaro. I did see a silver one with...

Having been trying to sell my car for a while with no luck, I'm thinking of getting the front painted. The laquer has chipped and water has lifted the surrounding areas. Does anyone know of a decent paintshop around the south-west?

Hi. I have done a search and can't see if this is already on here, but can someone tell me how I remove the rear bumper from my S3? Thanks

I've got a weird noise from the back of the car under hard acceleration at around 4-5k revs. It sounds like stones are hitting the exhaust. Anyone got any ideas?

Hi I need my fron bumper, bonnet and probably front wing painting due to chipping and laquer peeling. My local bodyshop is quoting £1400. Does this seem a bit steep? Does anyone know of a decent bodyshop near Bristol/Taunton who won't want the shirt off my back?

I do need some advice now. Replacement Movit discs for the front are gonna be c£500 for the pair, plus £125 for pads. The discs apparently are in two bits (is this a floating disc?). Does anyone know where I might find a cheaper replacement?

....as you always prove to be so helpful. I thought I'd save them up. I have Movit 4-pot brakes on the front (322mm I think). Does anyone know where I might get reasonably priced replacement discs? I need some new paint on the car. My existing bodyshop guy went bust (maybe he was too...

Does anyone know what version/type of vag-com I need for the above car? Looked at ross-tech, but there seem to be loads of diferent types.

Does anyone know where the speed sensors are that control the ESP and ABS? My warning lights keep coming on

How is the tickover adjusted on an S3? Can it be adjusted? Mine has become v.lumpy recently. No faults on VAG-COM say Audi. Settles at around 650 rpm when warm and sounmds like it's gonna give up.

My ESP and ABS lights have just come on when I started the car. Not the warning lghts, but the yellow ones in the rev counter and speedo. Are they both operated by the same sensor? And where is it? Thanks

My S3 (2002 BAM) has suddenly slowed its tickover to about 700 rpm. It intermittently spluts as though it's going to cut out. Does any one have any ideas re what could be the problem? Can it be adjusted?

I had this rattle on acceleration. Finally had a chance to look at it this evening, and the four bolts that hold the turbo on were loose! I've managed to tighten two of them, which has helped, but I can't get anywhere near the two closest to the engine. Has anyone got any ideas, before I have...

I haven't got a clue what DV is on my car. It's not an original Audi one (has splines all round the body). If I'm changing it, do I need to do anything else (remap etc)?

Having just put my car up for sale, I have noticed an intermittent rattle when the turbo is spinning. Have been told by a local Porsche specialist that it sounds like the wastegate. As I'm a complete clutz, but own a set of tools, can anyone tell me how I can check this? And is it a replaceable...

I've had enough of CDs. Looked at Phatbox and the only issue is that the cover won't close (I'd want it in place of the CD changer) With an Ipod adapter, can it be operated through the stereo controls, as I don't really want it on display?

Hi I've got what can only be described as squeal when lifting the clutch. Only happens in first and second and is worse the slower I let the clutch out. Any ideas? Ta

How easy is it to change wheel bearings? I've got a very noisy one, but am I best to get a garage to do it for me?

Hi Is there an easy way to adjust the interior light switch? Mine comes on briefly every time I go over a bump in the road. Thanks
