    4.2 FSI issue

    Hi, I’m hoping someone can assist - we currently have a 2011 RS5 in for an unusual issue. Every so often you can get the car to cruise by itself, usually in 5th gear the revs will hold at 1500rpm and the car will coast at 30mph without touching a pedal. It’s not every time and seems more...

    Some pictures of my MY09 Ibis S3 Sportback Stage 2+....

    Hi all, After picking many of your brains with regards to my S3 over the last year or so, I thought it time to take a few pictures and share them on here. The time has come to sell, hence the pictures, as I've bought a MY11 A5 3.0 TDI Quattro S-Tronic to replace it. I will miss the sound of...

    2009 S3 has judder under hard acceleration, any thoughts?!

    Hi all, As the title suggests really, my 2009 S3 stage 2+ sport back has a judder under acceleration. It's prominent in 1st, 2nd and a little in third but then disappears. At its worst when turbo kicks in. Feels to me like it maybe something like a driveshaft or the prop really but not ruling...

    2009 S3 with LED Xenons - Adaptive LED xenons plug, code, play?

    Hi all, Just after a bit of advice. I was wondering how straight forward or difficult it is to retro fit adaptive xenons to my 2009 S3? The car already has the LED xenons so essentially the only difference would be the adaptive part which I presume takes a reading from the angle sensor? Is...

    Hi there, I have a customer that has a 2007 Audi A3 Sportback DSG 2.0TDI 170BHP and when I drove it the DSG box seemed to snatch in and out of drive very harshly.
