After owning a few B5s, a B6 and now a B7 2.0 TDI BRE engine I'm after some advice as follows: Bought for 1500 it's pretty much a trade deal. Has a known underboost fault which looks like to be a split turbo to intercooler pipe. A new one should be with me tomorrow. That aside, if that sorts...

I think mine has failed today. Its mooing/groaning from the rear and wont fire up now. I've read its an audi recall for 1.8t B6. Is this true?

Hi I bought an A4 saloon knowing the camchain tensioner was phooked. So set about replacing that and the cambelt at the same time. The cambelt was loose but the car still ran. Put a new belt, pullys and damper on plus the camchain tensioner and gave her a service and she fired right up...

Hi All I have a NA 1998 1.8 A4 and need to dial out the roll in the chassis. Whats the best strut brace to fit? What else should I look to mod suspension wise? Its only a NA so not got the poke behind it - is there anything I can do to give a little more pull? Thanks Rog

Hi guys You may have read from another post I've sold up the S3 and bought myself an A4 (B5) 1.8 NA circa 1998 in Dolphin Grey as an interim measure. It’s immaculate with only 64k on the clock with full Audi history. Not one to normally mess with cars originality, this was so cheap I would...

Hi all Sold my S3 a couple of months ago and have now bought a 1998 A4 NA 1.8 as a run-a-round until I decide what to get next. The car has covered 64k miles and has full Audi history up to 50k and a couple of private services after. The cambelt has never been done so doing that as a...

As per title, what are the thoughts on installing decent, upgarded speaker components into 8L S3? I dont want to alter anything externally i.e. no cutting out of trim. I find the factory BOSE sound system to be quite poor. Current set up is BOSE with Concert CD head unit (off top of me yud)...

Is this a good deal at an Audi dealership: Full Variable service (inc plugs etc), Haldex oil and filter change, brake fluid change and Beissbarth 4WA = £472 inc vat? First time getting the S3 serviced at a dealers. It needed a wash and a hoover so at least it got that too!

Just read the article describing suspension set up experiences and I suppose the simple question is: What is the best but most cost effective set up? Can someone provide a view addressing shocks, ARB's etc etc - everything you need to make the S3 the car it should have been from factory. Specs...

CAn anyone walk me through this? I need to replace the Hazard Light switch (relay) as my indicators are all but non-existant now! I've removed the radio... Cheers!

Hi AllJust had a very good chat with a chap called Wak at Vagcheck. Seems like he knows what he is talking about and I cant find any negative comments about what they provide but just wanted to check with the forum.I'm after a remap. As i understand it, they no longer use Custom Code as the...

Hi allTook my S3 into Audi yesterday as i had noticed that there was rust appearing in little scabs on the paint work over rear C pillar and boot lid. They told me that this was something called fall out and is on top of paint and not coming through even thoguh it looks to me as though it is. Is...

Hi all Not really a question more of a big thanks and recomendation! Basically, I posted a question under the detailing section regarding decent detailing products. Rich at Polished Bliss responded in quick time and we susequently spent about an hour on the blower talking around different...

Is it possible to retro fit this item? Is it hard and where would i get one from new without going to dealer? Its for an 02 S3 BTW

Bottom line - my front ARB is knackered. The car is wallowy and pulls to the left. Also experiencing abnormal tyre wear - wearing out 1 inch only on the outer edge both sides. The independant I went to said there is no way the problem is linked to the ARB even though it needs replacing. I...

For the 2nd time in a month my S3 has failed to start due to drained battery. The first time I was in a field and had the stereo on for 3 hours straight so no surprises. Second time was this morning. I had left the car standing from Tuesday morning till Friday - got in and it wouldnt start...

Owned my first S3 for nearly 2 months now and I can't figure out the CC system at all. I could just read the manual but I thought I wou;d ask Audi whilst I was there. This is what they told me: ECon: Aircon Auto: Is just that, regulates the temp in the cabin Then you can overide all this of...
