Hi guys, not posted on here in a while as I got rid of the 'S' in march (sorely missing it, it has to be said) Got a pretty mint phase1 mk2 clio 172 now. Quick enough but its no S3. Anyway, I was having a clearout of old bits and have found the old ballast that I took from the Audi after the...

17705 on cold mornings (pressure drop between turbo and throttle valve) cycle of the ignition resets it and take sit out of limp mode. Taken to JBS today, they have checked for vac/boost leaks also tested N75 valve all ok. the have advised it needs further investigation and they suspect...

Rang JBS the other day and asked whilst my car is in, if it was possible to do a boost leak test and he told me they advise against pressuring up the system as it can damage the seals in the turbo, so I asked how they perform a boost leak test and he said a road test Now a few guys on here...

Whilst my car was in the garage tonight i noticed that the front grill badge has a corner snapped off it. So I took it off to take a look and part of the back has snapped off as well, so it looks like some pikey has tried to take it off and given up when they broke it trying. Part numbere on...

Following on from my other thread I've done some logging over last couple of nights, and it appears my MAF readings are on the low side I believe a mapped car should be running 200 - 210 g/s but mine is running at 180 g/ max. I am not sure why the lambda is stuck at -6.3% either...

The arm in the pic that is bent goes to the front headlight level sensor, what I would like to know is how will having a bent arm like this affect the headlight leveling ?

I dont hvae the logs to hand but a couple of runs provided me with a max MAF reading of ~180g/s @ ~6000RPM Looking through the forum it appears this is a figure for a standard car. Mine is a 210 remapped with custom code, i reckon i should be seeing between 200 and 210 g/s Does this mean...

My wipers have pretty much always been like this since i bought the car and I was wondering if it was just my car or an S3 design flaw. 1 - dont wipe properly at anything over 65mph 2 - sometimes start to judder (only fix I have found for this that sometimes works is rain x) 3 - dont alwasy...

Had the engine running on 3 cylinders yesterday whilst booting it, VAG COM had logged 16684 (multiple misfires) & 16688 (misfire on cylinder 4) So i ordered 2 coil packs from VW today thinking I could keep one as a spare in case this happens again. Took it to the mechanic this evening and...

Cold weather passenger door wont open from outside, works fine from inside and also once the car has warmed up a little. Drivers door seems to be so far unaffected although It will be fun when the windows are frozen and both doors are affected lol. James

Last year I had an intermittant problem where after the car had been sat overnight in really cold weather it put the car in limp mode and it felt like i had no turbo. The remedy to this was to turn the ignition off then on again. Now thsi year things are slightly different the ignition trick...

i crashed my car a couple of months ago and one of the replaced components was the driver's side hadlight complete unit bulb ballast starter etc. Sometimes the new headlight fails to kick in, the remedy to this is to turn the main beam off and back on again, it ALWAYS works 2nd time. some days...

Had a loss of power last night when i jumped in the car, so I fired the lappy up this morning and did a fault code read using VAG-COM threw this code up, I cleared it and car seems to be fine again. Should I be worried ? Have scoured the net and can't seem to find a definitive answe on this...

Took this video earlier on a private road. for a few reasons 1 for fun 2 - to see if the sound of my car can be heard as I am not 100% happy with it at the moment (it cant really) 3 - to see if you guys think the acceleration of the car is in line with yours/what it should be etc. Video is...

My engine has done 117k now and has become a bit noisy the difficulty here being describing this noise to you. I have recently had cam belt and waterpump + all related tensioners replaced so they are ruled out. I had a loose heatshield making a noise between 3 - 4k and I thought having that...

Cousin's BF has written off his mk3 ibiza and I notice as it is sat in my gran's garage it has a nice FMIC, I havent closely inspected it but wondering if i have chance of a cheap upgrade here ? James.

Just had this quote for some new tyres. I wasnt looking at buying mega tyres this time but the best offer they have after that is 2 x budget tyres for £120 fitted. I have had toyos in the past and they only lasted 8 months. Is there something else I should consider or is this offer just...

The repair garage that did my repairs has left swirl marks all over my paintwork, straight lines actually not circular ones. I complained to Elephant, the garage too it back in to have a look at it along with a faulty headlight and have basicly said they havent done it. I know I went to...

Does anyone have a part number for a passenger side headlight lens ? Audi have told the mechanic at the garage I use that you have to buy a complete headlight at over £400. I dont fancy doing that when the headlight is functioning perfectly well as it is. I had an accident and the drivers...
