    Drivers Door and Boot Lights Not Working?

    Gents, Quick one for you. Just replaced all my bulbs for LEDs (looks great) but my drivers red warning and puddle lights won't work, nor will my boot lights... These didn't work before, so I'm not blaming the bulbs. The fuses look fine so have you got any ideas? Where are the switches which...

    New to VCDS - 1st Log Attached

    Morning all, Having just received my Gendan cable, I've downloaded VCDS Lite (just paid $99 for the full version and waiting activation) and went for a quick run. Now obviously only running on the 'lite' software, ports to log are limited. I logged port #1, 2 & 3 and here are the results...

    Which Wing Mirrors Do I Have?! Pics Added...

    Right, I've got a bust drivers side wing mirror and went to GSF to get a replacement mirror glass. They gave me the mirrors, went into the car park to fit them, and they were completely the wrong fit?! The part number on both mirrors is: E1 010594 (surely these should differ for OS and NS?)...

    Anyone Using 358mm Discs & Cayenne 6 Pots?

    Gents, Been doing some research today on the Cayenne 6 pot (17/18Z) calipers and 358mm discs, pretty much the ECS Stage 5 kit. Since I'm running 19" Ultraleggeras, I'll have no clearance issues, but I'm a little concerned about replacement discs... I see a few of you opt for the R32 334mm...

    Haye vs. Chisora - What a Fight!

    Haye, what a legend! Took some big hits and breezed them off and finished Chisora in style. Great to see them shake hands at the end, nice way to finish all the petty s**t that was surrounding the fight since 'that' press conference. God I love boxing!

    Highest BHP Daily Driver?

    I'm bored at work and just wondering what BHP you lot are pushing on your daily drivers? I rarely use my S3, however, I'm looking into going BT later this year just for giggles and want to know what are built and trusted examples of this. This isn't a generic 'I want lots of BHP for £500'...

    My S3 Sounds Like Chewbacca?!

    As the title states really. When coming out of corners / off roundabouts under light throttle, my car makes weird groany noises. Is it turbo float, power steering pump? It's not constant, just happens rather regularly. I want to know cos the car is still under warranty from the garage I...

    140mph+ Limiter?

    Guys, Took the car down my local private runway last night. The car pulls like a dream to around 140mph, but then after than it seems to stop and go, like it's hitting a speed limiter? The car has power and then dies off, then has power and dies off... Thing is, the car does it from around...
