I have aftermarket rear lights (fitted long before I bought the car) and recently the rear left brake light (LED strip) stopped working, the main-rear/indicator/reverse/fog all worked still. I cleaned the scale off a couple of connections on the brake light and cleaned all the connections with...

Hi, today I bought a ‘04 plate 3.0 tdi Quattro A6 Saloon (auto) Bought it knowing it needs a fair amount of tlc inside and out, just under 80k miles with fsh. Soon as I got back I’ve started pulling out the aftermarket reverse camera+screen wiring, then tried to figure out how to turn the dead...

Been looking through some old threads but can’t seem to find a definite answer, wanting to know if it’s possible to open the exhaust flap in my S3 8P (59) so it’s a bit louder? It feels like the flap opens around 4k and sounds so much better so wanting that 24/7 if anyone can help? Cheers

Started the car earlier while still warm and low oil level warning? Checked dipstick and it is very low, right on the lower limit. Booked in for a bit of work at r-tech on the 9th of April, including sump off/cleaned/pickup pipe changed etc etc. So question is, should I leave it and not drive...

My S3 needs new tyres in the next month or two, running continental contact sport 5’s at the moment, they’ve been fine but I want to upgrade to either PS4’s or PS4S’s. Seen plenty of debate threads on the best tyres but wondered what the best size would be? It’s not my daily so noise or comfort...

My mates A3 has a couple of faulty code causing the engine to into limp mode, which is fixed by restarting the engine 2.0tdi SC60 KCN (he doesn’t know engine code) Does anyone know what work will be required to fix? Is it worth replacing sensors or should I just tell him to get it to a garage?

So... driving down some country lanes earlier and saw an opening to a small single track lane, I wanted to stop to sort my music out so thought I’d go down there. Worst mistake of my life, I’m not sure if that road is a land mine testing area or what but it’s got to be the worst road on the...

Has anyone with an S3 had a puncture repaired before? And if so did you have any problems later on? Dropped my S3 off at the tyre garage as had a 1-2mm puncture almost in the middle of the tyre, getting patched tomorrow, I was under the impression you shouldn’t patch performance tyres...

Been searching for a while about what sort of optional extras I want to retrofit, but other ideas seem to be a million pages deep in people’s build threads, seems like once a week I find something random I’d like to fit, so thought I’d make a thread where people can post things they’ve...

Alright lads I’ve never tried to do any coding or anything before, but I’d like to give it a go following other threads and YouTube vids etc I’m curious to what software people use for coding? I found the OBDELEVEN site and saw it’s highly recommended but I have an iPhone X and MacBook Air so I...

Cleaned my car today and noticed some black specks coming out when jetwashing around the lights, I’d never really paid much attention to that specific bit but does anyone know how to get at the back of the light to clean it properly? I thought maybe it’s a rubber seal that’s let water in but...

I am after a set of 19 inch alloys, but I’d settle for 18’s for the right price... I want them painted like the top picture so I’d buy them in any condition and get them refurbed, I’m dead set after these specific wheels in 19 inch, can anyone confirm that the offset won’t be too wide for my...

I know there are many threads about various types of brakes, but I’ve found these ‘Borg and beck’ drilled and grooved discs for my s3 with mintex pads. Essentially my question is has anyone bought these or know anyone who has? The price seems almost too good to be true, hence the thread...

Hi lads, I’ve heard it mentioned that the RS3 brakes are almost a bolt-on to the S3 (which is what I have) just wondered if anyone can confirm or deny this? And if it’s true, has anyone got spares for sale Cheers lads

Hello, I’ve recently bought a 59 reg S3 (54k on the clock) and I’m very happy with it. As far as I’m aware it’s been stage 1 remapped and I’m more than happy with the power as I had a 57 plate a3 s line black edition before (160bhp). Just wondering what sort of parts people have tried and...
