    VCDS tweak for DRLs?

    Hello all, I have a pre-facelift 8P S3... Was wondering how this kind of behavior can be enabled using VCDS / Vagcom: http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i244/kciker337/DSC_0244.jpg Using fog lights and/or indicators as DRLs. Have had a look around module 09 at the long coding and I can't figure...

    Hello all, Looking for recommendations on which brand / size intake and downpipe to fit to my S3... First and foremost I would like something quiet under normal driving conditions... I know gains are going to mean more noise, but I'd rather it be quiet than give me maximal gains. Noise when...

    Something is slipping... I think? Help please

    My car (pre facelift 8P S3) is doing some funny business when accelerating. With the throttle wide open, around when it hits boost (around 3000rpm), the revs climb very quickly for 400ish rpm and then drop again before the car proceeds to accelerate normally. There is definately no corresponding...

    Alpine Amps/Speakers Installed in my S3 (pics)

    Sound is ****** amazing. The system was paid for by Audi as they didn't give me the Bose stereo when it was meant to come standard in all Australian S3's. :beerchug: Here's some pics of my car... gutted. Can't believe how clean the car looks, even without the interior panels...
