Got myself an ED30 now :D Was sad to see the S3 go but the golf is more than making up for it! Went to VW and they said cambelt due at 120,00 or 4 years. im pretty sure they meant 60,000 or 4 years though! Id like to say thanks to all you guys that have helped me on here with my S3 even if...

That sounds about right to me. Good job im looking at a manual ED30 isnt it ;) Cal

When is the cam belt due on these cars? its on 42k so im not expecting it to have been due yet. Will keep you updated about the car... Cal

Just went to test drive a manual ED30 and loved it. It was very comfortable and fast enough from standard. Went to look at a cupra and decided against it as the interior looks horrid! Going to see if I can find another nice ED30 to test drive. Only problem with the one I drove was a scuff on the...

Hi, I currenty have a 8L Audi S3 and am looking into replacing it with a newer car. I like the car so would like to get something else from the VAG range. Looking into spending around £15k Ive been looking at Golf GTI's, Ed30s, manual and DSG. Is DSG the way to go or should i stick with a...

Mine got water in it and fried several of the resistors. teach me for washing my car! Cal

Ive just literally swapped my ecu in my pre facelift s3 in the past hour. I called up a local guy to do the coding my ecu was the 1st issue (8N0 906 018) later cars will have a similar number but with two letters after aswell. I was told you can only replace the ecu with one with the same...

Does anyone have an ecu number for an pay engined non ESP model s3? I need a new one and can't get the whole number I have 8n0 906 018 but need the last two letters so I can get the right ecu. My car is at audi at the moment so can't get the ecu number Any help much appreciated. Cheers...

Just ran a fault code check on my car to ensure none of the fault codes came back after i changed my rear diff (and thankfully they didnt and the car drives like a dream now!) But did find two other codes:- 16795 - Secondary Air Injection System: Incorrect Flow Detected Would i be right into...

Practice and Qualifying will be shown on the 9th and the race will be shown start to finish Live on Eurosport if you want too watch it. Cal

got a friend that has a 182 cup albeit abit tuned up, but they pull well, (all top end due to the lack of torque compared to an s3 but it is fast and handles well, seem to get oversteer quite easily but would recomend one for a cheap thrill. also have a mate with a 1.2 16v and although its...

I would recommend against it as the disc will have to be balanced after. So a two peice disc and bell kit would be better. The holes are drilled into discs not cast. Callum

Just a though but wont the lcr brembos be a direct swap with discs and pads I asume the s3 and lcr use the same upright? Cal

To mount the shoulder staps you will have to remove the rear bench seatbelts and secure them here as these are the proper 7/16" UNF threads you need and the bolts will be supplies with the harness to suit this. As for the lap belts you will be able to fit the outer lapstrap to the lower outer...

Pretty much. 1. loosen hub nut with car on the ground (30mm 12-point socket tightened to some where around 150-200nm) 2. Jack the car up and support on axle stands (ensure all suspension is free to move) 3. Undo the 6 bolts holding the driveshaft to the diff output flange. 4. Undo the...

SamiG - Is it in both directions or just one? Does the vibration come from the front/rear or both? These symtoms can come from many different causes. If you can discribe exactly what you feel then if i cant help you then im sure someone on here will point you in the right direction? Cal

It's a great thing to do, make sure you get yourself down to scruitneering in the town, get some good pics of cars there. Ill be there working look out for the Drayson racing Lola Judd;)

Bit of an update, the vibration was caused by a bount up inner CV joint. I found out yesterday after a but of a band and some clunks on right turns. i removed the shaft this morning to find this... Managed to source a brand new second hand shaft and fitted it earlier and the shaft moves...

the vibration has stopped now ive had a good look over the rear suspension/drivetrain and think the problem was a bound up driveshaft. its too dark and cold for me to be bothered to go out to the car but the RR d/shaft had no plunge before but seems to have it now. I will confirm this tomorrow...

after driving back vibration is still there so i just sat behind a truck and drove at 56, bolts are all tight, had 4 wheel alignment done, but still has some toe in on the right rear but doubt this would cause this type of vibration. will get the toe sorted next week. Cal
