Hi everyone I know there's a way of getting the split grille surround off without removing the bumper but i don't know how to! I read somewhere once you have to undo some clips from the back inside the engine bay and unclip the whole grille out? Problem is, i can't really stick my hand in...

Hi people How do you remove the adjuster wheel knob on the side of the seat? I need to remove mine as 1 of my new seats is missing this so i would like to put it onto my new seats. Thanks! AJ

Hi guys Can't seem to find an exact answer for this. Will my standard 17" sport wheels fit over the 8P S3 brakes? Any spacers required or straight fit? I have a friend who might sell me his so just having a thought ;) Pic of my car is in my sig below..... Thanks peeps AJ

Hey everyone It's about that time soon to get new discs and pads. When i had my 8L S3 the recommended setup was Black Diamond discs with Ferodo DS2500 pads. Except i didn't do this and bought Lambo brakes for the front :racer: What do you guys recommend for a 2.0 TDI? It's not packing any...

Spotted a black 8L S3 about 8pm on Sunday 15th July just gone. This was in Staines. Reg was, LV51 ***. It had S4 Avus wheels and red nurburg sticker on bootlid. I was in my friends B5 S4 estate on the opposite side and i think you saw us?

Hi everyone I got my Jom coilys on a couple weeks back and just got my wheels on a day before DC12. The rear is perfect but the front is all the way down and i want it a tad lower! On Mk4 Golfs you can get Polo top mounts which are smaller and allow you to drop another 10mm. Is there...

Hi everyone Odd question, but how low does the sump hang on a 54 plate TDI? I know on my previous 8L S3 the sump was quite low which meant i cracked it once being so low! I'd like to get started and lower the car soon but somebody told me the sump hangs really low and lower than my previous...

I put a topic up recently about my custom flat bottom steering wheel which has a custom made centre piece. Therefore it has no airbag or horn. The airbag i have now got around by purchasing a resistor but haven't fitted yet. Reason i haven't fitted yet is because i also don't have a horn...

Hi people This is a question for those who have aftermarket steering wheels and no airbag. Do you know what ohm resistor is used which you put into the airbag plug to avoid the airbag warning light on dash?? Thanks AJ

Hi people First issue with the car.... the smelly heater syndrome! It stinks like vomit for the first few minutes and then the smell goes away. Sometimes i can't even put my heating on it stinks so bad! :puke2: I had the same issue on my 8L S3 before and that was resolved by changing the...

Hello 8P people :) Thought i'd introduce myself to this section as i haven't yet. I used to own an 8L S3 for a few years until i decided about a month ago i'm gonna have to sell it :( Looking to put a deposit on a house next year and having a diesel will help me big time in saving money that...

So from this - http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/sale-wanted-audi-cars/152391-sale-my-2001-audi-s3-enthusiast-owned-very-well-looked-after.html The S3 sold on sunday afternoon to a lad in Bristol. He looks like he'll look after it and i could tell he was in love with it when he saw it!I actually...

So i'm doing more research about my bad MPG problem and how the car's power has decreased slightly too. I've kept an eye on the breather pipe which comes off the side of the rocker cover for the past few months now. It's really soft and squishy if you press on it and you can blatantly see it's...

About 5 days ago my car MPG decided to drop drastically! I do alot of local driving as i work about 5-6 miles away, but my MPG has been 24-25. Then 5 days ago it decided to drop to 21 and i hadn't even booted the car! Within a few hours it went down to 18 and even when i was stuck in traffic...

Hi guys I've been thinking recently about my exhaust system and how much back pressure it has. If i put my foot down and let off when the turbo spools, i get that back pressure sound when i let off like it's just throwing it out. Basically my system is, 200 cell sport cat, centre box, then...

Stupid question but just wanted to double check. Are the A3/S3 facelift rear lights exactly the same? Ajay

Spotted a silver facelift S3 yesterday in Park Royal whilst i was on the way to drop my car to the garage. Both said hello at the traffic lights. :salute:

Was at Shell petty a couple of nights ago on the White Hart roundabout in Northolt. As i was driving out i saw a guy get into his silver 8L pre-facelift S3 parked at a pump. It has RS4 rep alloys on it but couldn't spot any other mods. We both said hello as i drove out. :salute:
