    S3 8V (2017) facelift drivers side headlight repair/replace?

    Yeah that's pretty much what I figured. I will try and take it to my local VAG approved independent and see what they make of it. The modules were working for a while but soon went (likely as the water set in). Fingers crossed it could be a case of re-sealing and replacing all the modules...

    S3 8V (2017) facelift drivers side headlight repair/replace?

    Cheers for that unfortunately it's the wrong headlight for my model. Close but its the "F" not the "D" variant I think. Thanks

    S3 8V (2017) facelift drivers side headlight repair/replace?

    Dear guys & gals, I know that basically I will likely require an entire headlight replacement and the chances of picking up a 2nd hand one in acceptable condition are slim to none. I have a crack in the edge of the headlight and an "Audi Adaptive headlight error". The LED strip is working but...

    REVO Dogbone Lower Mount

    Getting one fitted on my S3 8V tomorrow. Just wondered if anyone has any long term advice or experience with them. On the face of it they seem a good balance between performance and acceptable NVH intrusion. I know some others have problems, hence me reaching for a REVO. Car is 380+ bhp and...

    Next Upgrade? DP or CAI?

    Looking to eek a little more from my S3 8V FL. It's running really nicely but I'm rarely completely satisfied with anything. Next on the list is a proper intake or a catted downpipe. I'm really very interested in the Mountune X3 intake, here: https://www.mountune52.com/products/x3-intake It...

    MQB Air Intakes (sorry....)

    Ah, should probably clarify, car is mapped and making 384 at clutch. Made 314 from stock with a few supporting mods (which I was a little disappointed with to be honest, considering it should be around 310 to start with) but now is nearer where I want it for sure. Cheeers

    MQB Air Intakes (sorry....)

    Interesting what you say on the muffler delete there. In my mind the 'vortex' created by the muffler would be a hindrance in most ways, hence its replacement for a straight pipe. I hadn't considered the effects other than sound muffling that it may have. I think what you're saying about the...

    MQB Air Intakes (sorry....)

    I certainly agree with your no replacement for displacement mantra but the turbo's on these aren't what I would call big. With supporting mods (muffler delete,airbox tweaks, diverter valve upgrade, DTUK pedal box) you can all but eliminate most of the lag with the stock intake pipe as stated...

    MQB Air Intakes (sorry....)

    Exactly the answer and solution I was looking for. Nice one. I've seen a lot of people sticking bigger hoses on in the assumption that it will perform better, and it will, at the very top end. Looks like the Turbo Technics has been designed with the best of both worlds in mind. Cheers

    Re-introduction

    Hi Sandra, thanks. I think I signed up quite a while ago but never really got around to proper introductions etc. Thought it might be good courtesy before I start bombarding people with questions!

    MQB Air Intakes (sorry....)

    A subject with tired legs no doubt but I'll keep it as quick as possible. My S3 8V has the usual turbo elbow/turbo muffler delete/airbox mods (cut out etc etc). I've been messing with the airbox for ages and although not the smoothest flow of air before the panel filter, it does flow well...

    Re-introduction

    Hi there all. Bit of a re-introduction for me as I've had many Audi's on a few different forums over the years but I've managed to 'curb' a few other money-draining, time-consuming hobbies (hifi/golf) and concentrate on my original/favorite (and also most money-draining and time-consuming)...
