    P1531/P0333 Camshaft Timing Adjustment

    Over the past few months I've kept seeing the same two codes pop up when scanned. I used to simply clear them and move on, but eventually I decided after experiencing some performance related issues that I should probably not clear them anymore. The first is P1531. Below are the scans where...

    Revo Stage 2+ settings?

    As the title states, what are you running (Boost/Timing/Fuel), which version of 2+ are you running (v10, v12 standard/linear, etc) and what power figures have you seen? :beerchug: I'm seeing 320hp/465nm from a v12b map, running pump 95RON using settings of 7 3 7

    RNS-E retrofit GPS unit placement

    Removed my RNS replica unit tonight and fitted the OEM "G" revision unit. Now I've yet to fiddle with any VCDS coding yet (still sifting through what needs to be done) but for the moment I'm more concerned about where the GPS antenna unit should go. It's got a hell of a length of wire attached...

    Dyno'ing facelift S3 in 2wd mode?

    I know this is possible on the pre-facelift S3's (and other older quattros) by simply pulling a certain fuse. From what I've read this is no longer as simple with my car. Anybody know if it is indeed doable and how I'd go about doing it? Sadly there are no 4wd dynos for hundreds of km's from...

    S3 - Stage2+ Boost Concerns

    Hoping I can get a 2nd opinion with regards to what I'm seeing in my car's boost logs as I've already taken this up with my local tuner. Below is a 3rd into 4th gear pull (letting the S-tronic box shift at the limit) view of requested v.s. actual boost as well as N75 duty cycle. The big...

    SEAT Cupra + Audi S3

    Dug up a few pics from my cellphone of a friend's Cupra and my own car after a good 8 hours of detailing per car. In both cases we were strapped for time so no before shots were taken of the Cupra and I didn't have a chance to break out the GF's SLR or pose the cars in a better setting so...

    S3 Stage2+ logs?

    Anybody got a set of logs for a healthy 2+ S3? Mostly looking to get an idea of the boost and timing figures. I suspect my car may have a boost leak judging by the way it requests 1.5bar from about 3000rpm onwards, initially meets this and then quickly drops .25 bar below requested by the...

    Strangely long cold start

    So I had my remapped by from Revo stage 1 to stage 2 and the very next day I noticed that my cold starts have increased in length by probably around 10x for some strange reason: Essentially the car idles @ 1100rpm for over a minute now with the exhaust making a hell of racket until it slowly...

    Knocking sound when braking lightly

    It never used to do this, but my S3 has for the last week started knocking from the front when I brake lightly. Sometimes this does not occur until the pitch of the road changes again and the faster I go the quicker the series of knocks (usually around 2 to 5 seperate knocks) when I brake...

    S3 downpipe install = propshaft off/on job?

    Keen on adding a catless downpipe to the S3 after the nice tone it gave my A3. Problem is i've heard reports that you cannot install one on the S3 without removing the prop shaft first. Is this true and if so does anybody know what the various bolts that hold the shaft on should be torqued...

    Random throttle cuts after Revo 1 (v9)

    So I had my '10 car mapped by Revo (using the v9 map apparently) and ever since when cruising in the higher gears with low revs (e.g. under 3000rpm in 6th in "D") I feel the car pulling back as if the throttle is cut for a half second. It appears to happen quite randomly, sometimes cruising for...

    Recommended products for my Ibis White S3?

    So I've become quite the avid detailer with my last 2 cars, but this new S3 has me stumped on what to use to get the best shine. Why? Because I've got an entire cupboard of products dedicated to getting the most out of dark finishes (had a Dolphin Grey A3 and an Arden Blue OPC/VXR before)...

    '10 S3: Pano sunroof open/close via keyfob and S-tronic adaption

    As above is there any way to employ VCDS to set the sunroof to open or close from the key fob like you would the windows? Secondly, I regularly do the throttle body adaption, but is there something similar for the DSG/S-tronic boxes?

    My S3 Sportback S-tronic

    Hi all, New around these parts despite having used this forum many times before when looking up the answers to VAG related questions I've had. My previous ride was a 2007 A3 2.0T Sportback running Revo 2 and bunch of other customisations, altough I never got around to posting a build thread on...
