    Exhaust Leak

    Just in case anyone stumbles across this thread, it doesn't appear as though you can use OBDEleven to close the valves, it's essentially just allowing them to be turned on or off. If you turn them OFF, then they will no longer be able to actuate and the last mode they will always have been on...

    Exhaust Leak

    Hi all, I noticed my car had gotten really "boomy" recently. I have a res delete but left the valves on automatic (not coded open). Prior to the boomyness, I loved the sound and would alternate between coded open and coded normal. All of a sudden the note became just dull and boom and it...

    Coil Pack Failure

    What are you running Damo? Stage 1? I haven't done that much research into it but my car seems to have been a motorway mile muncher prior to me purchasing it so I would hope the clutch has plenty of life left in it. I only say that because I've seen a few videos of people needing to take a...

    Coil Pack Failure

    Exactly as you called it :) It does however really make me want a remap at some point... just a Stage 1. He says...

    Coil Pack Failure

    Hi folks! Firstly thanks for the input and advice here.. I pulled the plugs and can confirm they are in fact all new so I suspect the coils are too. The car was performing just as reported and I even took my dad out for a spin who said that he too could tell it was lacking. Felt like torque to...

    Coil Pack Failure

    Hi Damo, Really good advice thanks. I was looking at the OBDElevenPro actually as I'd like to carry out a few smallish mods such as exhaust valve coding etc. I'm sure I read this can also provide diagnostics so definitely a worthwhile investment I think. I'm taking the car on a drive at the...

    Coil Pack Failure

    It was a bit of a weird one to be honest. I specifically said that if it's a dead coil, I want 4 new ones and 4 new plugs. They called to say it was a misfire on cylinder 1 so they've done all the coils and the plugs for me. He then said that as they already had a new coil, they've chucked that...

    Coil Pack Failure

    Hi folks, So about 10 days after having my res delete fitted, the car had some issues with misfiring when giving it wide open throttle. Took it to the garage (warranty) and as expected, I had a cylinder misfire on 1. They replaced all 4 coils (apparently) and I also asked for 4 new NGK plugs...

    S3 has gone super quiet

    Glad to hear it! Those valves really do make a big difference!

    S3 has gone super quiet

    You should absolutely be able to feel the exhaust output from all 4 pipes if you've changed to dynamic. Perhaps they do close after a couple of minutes but I have done this myself. Started up, changed to dynamic, felt for output and then unplugged the valves. I would do one final check on a...

    Scorpion downpipe and sports cat

    Hi James, Have you had your resonator box removed yet? I started by opening my exhaust valves permanently which improved the sound somewhat but still not enough (for me). I then decided to go for a res delete which I had fitted 2 days ago. Honestly, with the valves permanently open and the...

    S3 has gone super quiet

    Have you actually confirmed the exhaust flaps / valves are opening and closing?? Start the car, change to dynamic and go and feel for output from all 4 pipes. If all four pipes aren't outputting then your valves aren't opening. Sometimes the software bugs out and you need to cycle all the way...

    2017 Audi S3 S Tronic Query

    I've had to force myself to drive home before it got too excessive. Silly fuel prices! So I was going to just grab a normal res delete as I rarely do motorway miles. I'm happy to spend a little extra for the BCS res delete but do you know if it's just as loud when driving around town / having a...

    2017 Audi S3 S Tronic Query

    Hey all, Thanks a lot for the feedback here! Seems to be a mixed bag of those who do and don't suffer from the dip :) I took the car on a drive out yesterday to really test this out and I can confirm that in S mode, it never does this. In D mode, it will shift me to first gear and it does seem...

    2017 Audi S3 S Tronic Query

    I've done a fair bit more Googling on the matter but this time referenced the Golf instead. I've found a lot of articles whereby people are querying this; some come back to say theres does it too and always has. Others have come back to say it's an issue. With this in mind I'm getting the car...

    2017 Audi S3 S Tronic Query

    Hi all, My name's Jake and I've recently purchased a 2017 Audi S3 Black Edition. The car has 40k miles on the clock supported by a full Audi Service History. Both DSG and Haldex services have also been done which was great to see. It came with the BO sound system upgrade, VC, and the Audi Phone...
