Last week I started noticing an occasional crunch when changing gear, which I wasn't sure whether was in my head or not. My clutch biting point seemed to be really low aswell, being just off the floor. My car was left undriven for four days and when I got back in to drive today the clutch pushed...

It's that time of the year again to renew the car insurance. I'm limited on the companies I can use because of the modifications on my S3, which makes shopping around harder than normal. Everywhere I tried quoted me more than I paid last year, which I wasn't happy with. I then tried A-Plan who I...

Fitted these puppies today :hubbahubba: Fitted some ebay mintex discs and pads on the rear aswell, as the originals were shot and calipers were as good as seized. Also, noticed when I took the oem front discs off that the inside face was all rusty, like the pads hadn't been touching the...

Hi, has anyone got a spare working standard S3 N75 F valve I could borrow to see if mine is faulty or not. I would pay for postage to me and return it as soon as I've checked it on my car. Trying to find out if my N75 is the cause of my boost problems but don't want to pay £60 for a new one...

Right, had a previous thread on here about this and was just gonna update it, but can't find it when searching. Anyway, originally I had a coilpack issue, with the engine misfiring when trying to accelerate. Replaced the coilpack and the plugs which sorted the coilpack problem, but then...

Hi all. With having a few problems with my PCV vacuum system lately, I've been doing alot of research into making the system simpler, and less prone to blockages/leaks etc. I came across this thread recently from uk-mkivs.net, which explains completely removing the vacuum system and replacing...

Only just fixed the coilpack problem I had on the weekend and now I've got another fault! It actually appeared as soon as I fitted the new coil pack and took the car for a test drive. The misfire had gone but the idle is still crappy, hunting up and down very slightly and coughing...

Hi, have done a search but nothing much has turned up. My battery is in need of being changed. Halfords list three batteries for the S3, one with a 3yr, one with a 4yr and one with a 5yr warranty, with the prices using my trade card being £60, £75, £90 ish, respectively. Are there any other...

Hi everyone, my car has started to stutter tonight like it's misfiring, with the engine check light flashing up. I've searched and the diagnosis seems to be blown coilpack. The next option is obviously get it hooked upto Vagcom, but unfortunately I haven't got this yet. I am however in...

As per the title, when trying this with my drivers door handle, I have to pull the handle about 6 times before the door will unlock. The passenger side is fine. Has anyone else had this same problem and is it something that can be fixed by taking the door lock apart and making some adjustment...

Hi, have searched and this seems to have been covered many times. The general concensus seems to be don't get one. I have one of these already fitted to my car. The previous owner said it used to throw up a warning light until he had it re-setup and now it's ok (which it is, no warning...

Hi, having only viewed one S3 so far, which wasn't very good, what condition should I expect the underpinnings to be in on future cars I see, considering the car is 7+ years old? For example, is it normal for wishbones, hubs etc to be rusty, and something to expect on this age car, or do the...

As per the title, anyone thinking of selling up within the next few months? I'm looking for a facelift BAM/AMK engined S3, all colours considered (although favourites being Negaro Blue and Black), with lowish milage (circa 50/60k, the reason for this being milage on the engine, interior...

Hi, tried searching but brings back nothing. How good are these lowering springs? Do they improve the suspension alot, or is full coilovers required for this? Opinions please. Am I also right in thinking there is no camber adjustment on the S3? I have seen adjustable rear arms for sale, but...
