    S3 DV hard to get at?

    Need to service my DV and had a quick look under the bonnet but noticed the DV seems to well obstructed by various pipes and the strut brace, or whatever its called. Is it just me being a bit lame and really not that much bother or is it fairly tricky to get at for all?!

    Petrol smell through vents when stationary

    Think this is a bit of an odd one but here goes. When the car is stationary or moving at very low speed I get what I can only describe as petrol fumes through the air vents (with aircon on or off). Has anyone else had this / know what might be the cause? I haven't keeled over yet but its a...

    A2 pdf brochure - early models???

    Does anyone have a pdf file of the A2 brochure for the first A2s (think spec etc may have changed as the model aged)? The other half has got quite keen on the 1.4 petrol version but I can't get hold of a brochure anywhere - she likes the pretty pictures... and I don't really want to pay for one...

    Knocking noise but bushes seem fine??

    Me again! Endless niggly problems... Anyway, Hope someone can make some suggestions, but when driving over bumps at low speed there is a knocking noise from the rear, it also occasionaly does it when going faster, but rarely. Had a garage look at it and they couldn't be definite, so got a mate...

    Juddering when accelerating - Engine Mgt light on!

    Oh dear! Thought my car wasn't accelerating properly the other night and now it has been confirmed by the nasty yellow engine management light. It is OK when using the throttle very gently, but any more and it starts to judder and the light flashes for a few seconds. Any ideas please?! It almost...

    Servicing aftermarket DV - important??

    The usual story, sorry if this has been done before but I couldn't find anything definitive by searching. I have the AmD Viper DV (and usual AmD remap) and have read that this should be serviced. Can you get away without servicing it and, if not, would a specialist think I was a complete girl...

    Quick clutch question please...

    I need a new clutch for my stage 1 chipped S3 (originally 210bhp, face lift model) and have been getting a couple of quotes. One quote has included the clutch slave master cylinder for £200!! Does this really need replacing or is the garage just being cautious and replacing it at the same time...

    Is there a valve in the oil filter and cooler?

    Long story why I'm asking but please could someone try and answer the above questions. I don't have any other details really other than wondering if there is another oil filter in the system other than the standard one that is changed at a service? And also is there anything that resembles a...

    Xenon motor tech letter - does it exist?

    Does anyone know the reference number or have any details on this tech letter that has apparently been sent out to some dealerships? The reason I'm asking is because I have asked for Audi to cover the cost of replacing the motors (even though its out of warranty, worth a try), but customer...

    Poor greenstuff pads performance?

    Was having a quick blast with a silver Leon Cupra on sat night (on a private road etc) and was going fairly quickly but under a ton and I tried to brake hard. Initially there was good bite but then it seemed to take ages to stop and made my heart miss a beat. Have read other posts saying that...

    All revs and no go. Please help!

    ****, yet another problem! Please help! From reading some other posts I think it might be a loose/disconnected hose, but would just appreciate confirmation. It only happened very occasionally at first, but tonight it happened all the time. When i put my foot down in any gear from 3rd up, it...

    Dipping xenon and tappets - anyone recovered the cost of works from au

    Has anyone had the cost of work done on their car paid for or partly paid for when they believe they have good cause for complaining? I bought my S3 last summer and it is now about three and half years old with 40k on the clock. The driver’s side xenon light just points straight down and now...

    CHIPS! A complete guide to

    Absolutely love ebony black but can you get this colour on the phase one models? If not, is there a very similar colour, don't want just normal black, really like the almost graphite colour of ebony. Also is there a slightly lighter and more metallic blue than the ming blue for a phase 1...
