    Does anyone know if the engine cover from the S3 8Y will fit an S3 8V? Looking for something a little different. Cheers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Facelift Nextbase GW 522 Fuse

    2019 S3, Stop/Start and Keyless. My dash cam seems to have a mind of its own, sometimes it works and sometimes it randomly switches off and I’m wondering if it’s down to the fuse I’m using to piggyback the hardwire kit. I’m sure I’ve read somewhere that F40 for the 12v sockets is no use because...

    Heater control valve location

    2014 S3 Saloon. Does anyone know the location of the heater control valve? My heaters are blowing cold, there’s plenty of coolant in the system and I don’t think the heater matrix is blocked. If I can find the location of this then surely just feeling the hoses will tell me if it’s working or...

    Broken Bumper Bracket

    Whilst removing the bumper I broke the bracket which sits just behind here, does anyone know if there’s a repair kit available? I bought a ‘guide’ but I think this is the part on the car that the broken bracket in question fits into. I can’t be the first, any help is appreciated. Thanks...

    Exhaust valves (for sound)

    I’ve read a few posts about permanently opening the exhaust valves for a bit more sound using VCDS or similar, am I correct in assuming that setting the engine sound to ‘Dynamic’ in Individual is the same thing? Cheers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Window Trim Removal

    Does anyone know how to remove the window trim from the rear door of a 2014 saloon? As you can hopefully see, mine isn’t sat fully down and it’s refusing to push back in. A (very) quick search on Google found a procedure on a Q7 where the door card has to come off to gain access to some clips...

    4WD Update F

    2014 S3 Saloon S-Tronic. (70,000 miles) I recently bought the above car from an Audi main dealer, quite a lot of prep went into this car prior to collecting it and I managed to get hold of the internal invoices. The car has to go back for one or two things when ‘the borrow car’ becomes...

    Prosport boost gauge too bright

    Does anyone know how I can dim this? Maybe with a variable resistor or potentiometer? Has anyone got a link for something I can just put in line? Cheers.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2009 S3 MAP Sensor Plug

    I need to change the plug on my MAP Sensor, could anyone who’s done this offer any advice? Access is very limited from above even with parts removed as the existing cables are so short. Is access any better from under the car before I waste any time removing the under trays? Thanks.... Sent...

    2009 S3

    Got this fault which is obviously pointing at the MAP sensor. The symptoms of this are the same as a faulty DV, no boost and a lot of flutter, is this the usual case? This happened about a week ago (before my new computer arrived so I was unable to scan) and I put it down to my GFB DV+ sticking...

    2009 S3 8P Wheels Spacers.

    I’m thinking about 13mm wheel spacers, just to fill the arches a bit and improve the looks. What’s people’s opinions on these from a handling and safety point of view? By handling, I mean I don’t want to ruin it and by safety I mean I don’t want to lose any wheels. Obviously I’d be looking at...

    Thermostat issue. 2009 S3

    Last time my car was in a dyno I was told my thermostat was getting ready but I never got around to changing it, this was back in December and I’ve only noticed the needle drop slightly below 90° a couple of times since. Recently though I checked my oil temp on the DIS and it doesn’t rise above...

    Checking oil and coolant on 2009 S3 8P

    I’m pretty new to this so please bear with me, I’ve only really used VCDS for scanning for faults. Measuring blocks? I want to check my oil and coolant temps as I believe I have an over cooling issue, maybe the thermostat. How do I go about doing this? Cheers (sorry). Sent from my iPhone...

    2009 S3 8P oil temp sensor location.

    Can anyone point me to this? I would’ve thought it’d be on the block but I’m struggling to find it (on the internet as I’m not with my car). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
