    GmbH Suspension and dot colours - My spring has just snapped

    Don't suppose anyone has the part number for 8L S3 front springs (preferably GmBH but standard also useful)? Thanks

    Bristol area garage recommendation

    I'd be looking for a suspension refresh so new bushes, drop links etc on my s3 8l. I did the shocks a couple of summers ago myself but she's definitely less precise than she used to be. Thanks for replies

    Bristol area garage recommendation

    Thanks chaps. Have been to Bill before and very good. But as suspension stuff (not too technical) would be good to be a bit more local. Will check them both out. Cheers, Dan

    Bristol area garage recommendation

    Hi all, Have just moved to bristol after 4 years away. Was wondering where you all get garage type work done in the area? Any recommendations for vag specialists? Also in need of a body shop (not too pricey) if anyone can help out? Need to also get to a meet soon. Cheers, Dan

    S2k filter - oe quality?

    Hi all, Been running an s2k filter for 12 months or so and was getting pretty dirty, so ordered a new one from car parts for less. Customer service was woeful and took at least 2 weeks to arrive. Just put it on the car and noticed that the two ends of the paper filter are glued together rather...

    Damage from parking...

    Yeh I agree. However, the car was still parked there when I left the house this morning... I know little about in car cameras. Do they turn on when there is motion outside the vehicle?

    Damage from parking...

    Thanks for the reply. On the note I was fairly direct about the fact that I did have evidence and would contact insurance / police should they not do the right thing and come forward - we shall see if this works! I had wondered about a paint test as well... I will do some googling later on...

    Damage from parking...

    Hi all, After a bit of advice. Yesterday evening I came home to a car parked very close to the back of my car and less than a foot away from the next car in the street. The "space" was small so the owner had to park with one of the back wheels right up on the kerb (which is illegal in any...

    S3 bushes and suspension overhaul

    Cheers Dave - you talking about trailing arms in particular?

    Decats and Downpipes S3

    I'm sure you will be pleased with a generic map coming from a standard car IF you get the car ready to the map. I would be deleting the n249 and getting rid of pcv system and installing a catch can as a minimum to try and reduce the likelihood of leaks. I couldn't believe the number of small...

    S3 bushes and suspension overhaul

    Cheers Karl. Any usual suspects as I will probably do it in stages. Someone mentioned the trailing arms on the rear of particular significance?

    S3 bushes and suspension overhaul

    Hi, My S3 has now done 98k miles (25k by me) and as far as I am aware has had nothing done to suspension except new top mounts and shocks that I did myself after a couple of months of ownership. I have searched around and haven't found a definitive list of "must do" suspension repairs. Hence...

    Decats and Downpipes S3

    I have a relentless dp with 200 cell cat mated to standard exhaust, s2k filter and badger 5 tip and my car made 273bhp and 310ft/lb on r techs rollers. The dp made a big difference once fitted but was a complete **** to fit to be honest. If you don't want to spend much get an intake, filter and...

    What have you done today?

    Changed the oil and filter in the pi**ing rain, on ramps and on the drive way. Why do I always choose the wettest day of the year!

    Edition 30 thoughts

    Having so many people come forward and say the Ed30 is good on an Audi forum speaks volumes in my mind. I'm not a traffic light dragster in any case... Much more likely to open her up on a good B road or to overtake. Quite excited about trying a dsg box out for the first time too. Cheers, Dan
