i have a 170bhp black edition and was wondering if any one has experience of getting these remapped? Revo are currently offering 25% off so it's around £270 all in. They advertise up to 208bhp, and up to 318lbft of torque. Car has sufficient power as it is, but for £270 it's not a huge out lay...

hi all Well I went out and treated myself to a 2011 black edition 170 last week, it is Xmas after all! I'm delighted with the car although a little nervous when the wife's at the wheel! I've been getting to grips with all the different functions however there's s couple I'm not sure about...

hello all. I'm currently looking to buy an a4 but don't really know the differences between all the models. I test drove an 143 se a couple of weeks ago which was a nice drive and felt like it had ample power. Although it had a couple of extras including reversing sensors, and an ipod...

hello all just back from my mot and they ****** failed it as the headlights beam is apparently too low. Went to kwik fit as they were cheap, but they didnt know how to adjust, therefore I got the red refusal sheet! Is it possible to manually adjust the headlights? I read some where that there...

hi everybody im in the middle of fitting my eibach lowering springs. doing the rears at the minute, noticed that you get a big black rubber plate with the springs. is it nessecary to fit this? and presumably it goes onto the bottom plate of the springs seat. can someone confirm this please...

Hello all Car developed massive boost leak recently and ive found out its the pipe which connects onto the top of the turbo, and then joins the metal pipe which runs to the inlet manifold. Audi quoted me £95 which seems a little steep! does anyone know where I could find out elsewhere? Been...

Hello all My cooling fan seems to come on at pretty random times. It can sometimes come on when ive just started the car up, even when cold. Im pretty sure the thermostat is knackered as the temp gauge shows readings from 70-90. I take it this may have someting to do with it? also, when the...

Recently had water pump, cam belt changed. Since work done, the engine sits at a lower temperature than before. It used to sit bang on 90 when warmed up, but now its more like 85, can even drop down to below 80 sometimes. Just wondering if this is in anyway a bad thing??

Hi all Just a quick query. I suspect that my dumpvalve is perhaps ******. Is there a way of testing it? Im sure i read somewhere about pushing a pen up into it?!? I apologosie if this has recently been covered but i cannot find any clear instructions. Cheers Donnie

Hi all. I ran out of fuel the other night, and a friend of mine towed me home. This so called friend hooked the tow rope round what he though was a tow eye underneath the engine area. Ive now discovered it wasnt a tow eye, but in fact a steel pipe. The pipe had a loop in it so did infact look...

I was driving home today when the water temp light came on, i looked at the dial and it was up at 110. so i pulled over and let it cool down. i took off again and about 3miles later same again. i checked the water level and it was fine, the cooling fans both came on. ive put it on a vag scanner...

Hi all First I'll apologise for asking this as im sure it has probably been covered before several times. My S3 has Koni FSD suspension fitted on it. It is perfectly comfortable, and handles reasonably ok. But I am looking to lower the car. To be honest im more intrested in getting the car...

Hello all, how things? Im looking at buying a set of rs4 alloys for my S3. They are 235/40/18. Offfset is 43. 8J rim width. 5*112. They came of a 2004 a4 sport. Can anyone tell me if they will fit my 1999 S3? Dont want to buy them and later find out they wont fit my car!! Would appreciate...

Hi all Im looking at buying a set of RS4 alloys very soon. There doesnt seem to be much of a difference in price for 17's and 18's. Which would suit an s3 better? Would 18's affect speed, and/or gearing? There going for around £300 on ebay. But are these cheap nasty ones?? Also, my car is...

Car failed an MOT today as theres a clamp missing off the exhaust. I crawled under to have a look and right enough, theres a hanger on the car body, with nothing hanging onto it!! Its between the middle box, and back box. Does anyone know where I can get one of these?? It must clamp into the...

HI all Im handing my car over to revo next week for a remap, cant wait to get it back! I was just wondering if there are any other mods i should add to compliment the remap? I see most folk hae a forge 007p? Should I bother gettin one of these? I want to add other mods, but without going down...

Hi all I just bought a samco tip off ebay. It was advertised as to fit an audi tt, but i was under the impression that it would fit my s3 aswell. Of course now ive received it, i dont think it is the same as an s3 one. Can anyone confirm this, as Ive looked at heaps of pictures of them on the...

Hello All, How are you? Im just off the phone to my local revo dealer. He gave me a price of £499 plus vat. A lot of money, but im sure it will be worth every penny! He did say it could be up to one hundred quid cheaper, depending on my ecu number. The older models apparently have a B5 Chassis...

Hi all. Recently noticed a greeny/yellow deposit on the underside of the oil filler cap on my 1999 S3. Am I right in saying that this is probably my head gasket starting to go? I took a couple of pics but I couldnt upload them unfortunately. The gunk gets worse after long journeys. If it is...
