Gave the brakes a bit of a clean and paint yesterday. Kept it simple with black calipers, back plates and a bit of silver high temp on the discs. Before After Forgot to take a pic of the fronts

So, the inlet manifold on my A4 was looking rather dirty so I thought i'd pressure wash it as I've done it before and it brings aluminium up really well......turns out its not aluminium after all, just plastic painted silver :( ended up with some of the paint coming off. But now I've given it...

Just picked this up a few weeks ago. It's a 2003 Quattro sport 3.0 v6. What do you think? just put it through its mot yesterday and it flew through.

Hi all, gutted I broke my car on Saturday night by running over a piece of fallen tree branch. I managed to catch the wiring to the second O2 sensor and it's pulled the wiring out of the plug on the car side. So, do Audi do repair wires with the pins already crimped on or can I buy the pins...

Is it possible to enable both trip displays on the dash like mk4 golfs have. So you can show all your current journey averages mpg etc on option 1, then switch to option 2 to see your total mpg etc? I have vagcom but cant see anything in the settigns to change it, also looked at the ross tech...

As above is it possible to edit the title of my threads? eg a build thread when you change parts etc I would like to edit the title.

I saw a thread where someone had retrofitted an ambient light unit from Audi into his front light, and thought I'd do it the cheap way! I've done it before on mk4 golfs (link to my how to guide) It was actually alot easier on the A3 as the power is already there. Heres the LED's I bought...

Hi, I have asked before but... My door puddle lights aren't getting any power, both door switches are ok as they bring the interior light on and show up on the dash ok when open/closed. I've checked the fuses behind the panel on the drivers side and they seem ok, So, anyone got a wiring...

Just been out and done a data log with vagcom of channel 115, I was in third gear foot to floor then changed to 4th foot to floor but not for long. Just wandering if anyone can tell if its mapped or not from the boost? its a 2001 AMK btw. Tuesday 10 July 2012 20:20:22 8N0 906 018 J 1.8L...

I need to replace the front wishbone rear bushes on my 2001 S3, Ive looked on ebay and there seems to be a few different types. The poly bush ones only lists one type and it says it also fits the Golf 4. Are these suitable: Poly bush Or should I just get standard ones? Where theres a few...

Trying to source a standard rear spring for my 2001 S3 AMK, Ive seen this one on ebay Audi S3 1.8 Quattro 210BHP - Hatchback Rear Coil Spring - 05/99-10/01 | eBay But it says - Spring: Coil Spring Without sports suspension Parameter: E Now is that saying its for an S3 without...

I know this topic has been asked and Ive read a fair few of them, But I think mines different? When I open the door the interior lights come on, also the dash pic shows the door open - all seems to function ok. Vagcom doesnt report a door module fault either... ....But the door lights dont...

I mentioned this in another thread, But thought I'd concentrate on this only in this one. I have the warning on the dash as soon as the brake pedal is pressed, Originally the third brake light only had about 3 bulbs working so I replaced all the faulty ones for new 1.2w bulbs, This hasnt cured...

Hi all. Just picked up a 2001 S3 last night and loving it. Had a few mk4 Golfs but they always struggle to put the power down through the front wheels so Quattro was the way ahead! Got a few jobs that need doing though, firstly the third brake light doesnt work and is bringing up a fault on the...

Are the Facelift front and rear lights a direct swap for prefacelift cars? is the wiring the same etc

Had a look at a 3.2 s line a few times now and today took the plunge so I'm picking it up tomorrow. One thing I noticed is that when its ticking over, if you undo the oil cap or take out the dipstick you get a hissing noise and it starts the run a bit lumpy, is this normal??? Thanks, Mike.
