Hi, Do 17" wheels fit on a S3 with 345mm brakes ? 17 x 7.5 ET 45 Cheers

I followed the instructions in the manual on how to remove the glovebox, which went quite smoothly. I also removed the T25 and T30 torx bolts holding the brackets on to the dashboard frame. Now I'm stuck, the airbag unit is loose, but I can't see how to get the thing out. Can't make head or...

Looking for a budget HU, that looks understated, if the standard single din factory unit has the features I've listed, I wouldn't change it. It looks like for the price for a decent Parrot BT unit, I can get a new HU. Also would like the ipod cable to be hidden, not poking out from the front. I...

Is it a female torx ? measures about 5mm. Cheers fs

Morning All, got a question about the resting position of the engine on my 8L S3. I won't bore you guys with the whole story, but to summarise, I had a great time removing the oe DP and fitting a new one. It involved loosening subframes, taking off the prop, dogbone and lots of persuasion with...

Some of you may have read the trials and tribulations of my adventures of fitting a new DP. I now got to the bit of conencting the sports cat to the rest of the (original) backbox. There is approx 13mm overlap of the two pipes. There is enough flexibility in the exhaust system for me to butt...

removed old cats - can't get old DP off. Past the point of no return now. How do you guys get the old DP off without cutting the old DP ? Cheers

Hi, I need new VAG bushes for some R32 front and rear ARB. (23mm and 19mm) Can someone with ETKA check out the part numbers for me please ? I need to order them today. Spent too much these last 2 months on the car (and everything else) to get poly ones. Unless someone here wants to get...

Looking for a Y shaped bit of silcone hose, ID of 80mm at the single end and 60mm at the arms, in the shape of a Y for my S3. Any ideas ? I've looked at ASH and other ebay sellers. Cheers

I want to simplify the rat's nest of hoses under the bonnet and not feed oil laden air back into the inlet. I've read the sticky - it recommends one with 19mm outlet and inlet. Most seem to be 15mm. Will a 15mm work ok ? I'm considering VW GOLF GTI TDI VR6 SILVER SQUARE OIL CATCH TANK 9MM...

I bought my 2002 S3 in light silver about 2 months ago. It's wasn't perfect, but it's getting better. Faults / Jobs at purchase Dent and crease on driver's door and rear quarter panel. Aerial base gasket perished Climate control panel, headlight switch, door pillar, Radio controls worn to...

Most of our S3s, A3s are over 10 years old. Many on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th owner. Whats the best way to determine whether they need changing ? Mk1 eyeball ? Look for cracks and tears ? Use a big screwdriver, crow bar to move bits? Are any of these better kept as OEM rubber bushes...

Is there a good place to pick up 12v constant live at the back of an S3, in the boot area and around the glovebox ? Don't need much current, about 50mA max. thanks

Got some new contis on the S3 a week ago, can any one recommend somewhere in Surrey that'll do four wheel alignment properly ? I'm thinking about Stationview Garage in Dorking, but I haven't used them before, they have a Hunters Pro Align machine. Cheers fs

I changed the sparkplugs this evening. Put in NGK Iridiums BKR6EIX. The original ones looked like the NGK Is, but with Audi 4 rings on the insulator. They were dry, no oil, grey ish in colour. The tip is about half worn compared to the new ones. Does it mean that I need to put in cooler plugs...

Hi, I've had my S3 for about a month now, I've got caught up in the mod fever going around here. I started buying some choice bits even before filling the thing with petrol. It's on standard 17" Avus wheels on Conti SportContact 3s. The car has quote worn front and rear discs. Standard Audi...

I have standard calipers and discs, currently have 17" avus alloys. Thinking of getting some winter wheels. Will 16" wheels from a golf etc fit (5x100) my S3 ? Cheers fs

Update Car 1 - 2001, Dark grey metallic, facelift, 80k miles, located in Essex rust around roof rails, bonnet not square, 19" alloys, linglong tyres, slammed to the ground, camber looked strange. Interior had been sprayed or recovered, blood red. I turned around and walked away. Car 2...

I called my ins co for a quote today - good news is that its an extra £23 on my policy, excess goes up to £450, bad news they will only cover theft with a working Tracker. Does your insurance co insist you have a tracker ? Any one would think I tried insuring a diamond encrusted ferrari...
