    Audi S3 8V FL headlight electrical fault.

    I had to get someone with the software to do it remotely, was a friend of a friend so don’t have contact details but I would imagine one of the retrofit companies could do it. The config from the original BCM has to be backed up and then the new BCM has to be flashed and the config from the...

    Illuminated door sill

    I’ve got the same prob, drivers side doesn’t light up, passenger side works fine, was able to pull up the sill cover and check the ribbon connector and it looked fine, it used to flicker on and off before but now it’s gone completely. Mine is standard fit from oem as the app shows it as fitted...

    Facelift S3 2016 not working DRL and indicators

    Update on this, it was the body control module, swapped that out for a used one, had to get it coded to the car, and all issues were then fixed, DRL, indicators and main beams now working. No idea how those connections got damp tho Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    S3 Stage 1 map recommendations

    Been thinking this, I’ve got the intake and elbow fitted and being honest a stage 1 map will be good enough, I’ll probably sell on the AirTec intercooler I’ve got and concentrate on suspension dampers as these mods will give me more satisfaction Thank you for all the replies tho, greatly...

    S3 8v improve handling and ride ?

    Thank you for all the replies, it’s been really helpful, I think for what I want, increased comfort and better control the Koni special active shocks sound ideal, maybe along with some eibach springs, will also upgrade to Michelin PS4’s as they will need replacing after winter. Will report...

    S3 8v improve handling and ride ?

    Hello folks, sorry another question... I have a facelift S3 3door, looking to improve the handling and retain some road comfort (possibly improve it), what’s a tried and tested kit to use ? Not looking for coilovers, just some shocks and springs, I know some have used the B12 kit from bilstein...

    Bilstein B12 finally arrived.

    Looks good, how’s the ride and handling now ? Is it any better, also is it less or more comfy ? stock suspension on an s3 doesn’t inspire much confidence so looking to upgrade in the future but need some comfort aswell

    S3 Stage 1 map recommendations

    Have a facelift S3 on 63k that I’m looking into having mapped, I’ve just fitted a r600 intake and elbow and that’s made a nice noticeable difference, it’s also got a res delete (that I have. Love/hate relationship with) I would ideally like a live map on a rolling road as I’d like it all...

    FL S3 and Golf R exhaust, are they the same?

    Recently got a Facelift 66plate S3, it’s come fitted with what looks like a resonator delete pipe, I think replacing the oem middle silencer, being a bit older I’m not a fan of the extra noise (only noticeable in high revs mind), I want to replace it back with an oem one, having seen a few...
