Car now sold, thanks for the interest. It was too good a car to end up at the dealer car auctions.

Hi, Looking to upgrade to another car and going through the PX v sale debate. For a quick sale the following car is for sale at £3000. Avus Silver 2003 S3, alloy mirrors, sun roof, full leather, centre arm rest, heated seats, piano inserts and all the other usual refinements. Car was...

Great thanks, just posted about those too ... Yes car is lowered on FK coilovers, current drop link are shorter than OEM - lengths as above but recon the 260 ones you posted that I also just found would be OK :)

Looking at a set on e-bay STANCE branded various lengths inc. 260/270 etc. seem like the right fitment specifying Audi and various SEAT models.

It’s S3... Total length of drop link is 28cm, bolt centre to bolt centre is 25cm.

I’ll dig one out later and measure it ... I found another post saying DPM (is that right) maybe stock shorter drop links ? M

Coilovers strike again ! I have (I think) FK coilovers which have different front drop links to OEM. My car has failed its MOT due to failure of these - the garage can't source replacements as they don't have a part number or equivalent and their suppliers can't match them by length. Has...

In case it helps anyone ... The car is 2003 S3, modified (turbo, ecu, chimney, wheels, suspension, induction), north west, 2 named drivers, 10k mileage, drive other cars 3rd party, like for like excess and cover etc. SKY I have been with Sky for many years (with the odd break) and have never...

Yeah don't want the little men with hammers tapping the top of the pistons !

Thanks guys, the garage has apologised and showed me their reference book for setting the S3 timing - I have no doubt they tried to get it all lined up but got caught out. Fortunately its booked back in for next week so all should be fine and they have taken advice from a local Audi specialist...

Just after some advice really ... Took my 2003 8L S3 to a non-VAG specialist (no told you so comments please) to have the leaking water pump replaced along with a timing belt for good measure. The car also required the MOT and various others things so it made sense to have it all done at my...

And you have just got to ask yourself why would any UK car driver go all the way to the Nurburgring simply to drive around a 'public toll road' as it isn't exactly an alpine pass or the amalphi coast ... They wouldn't, and so insurance companies are no longer leaving themselves open to ambiguity...

I echo what's been said about the Nurburgring ...10 - 15 years ago, you could have a blast ... the track was often clear so you could get a fast lap, filming was allowed, there was no ANPR and insurance and breakdown was easier to organise albeit still slightly ambiguous ... Now it is far too...

Done this to mine to retain the N75 and reduce boost spiking, works a treat :-)

IMHO - vehicles on the dual carriageway should also be aware of vehicles joining (well any junctions or intersections really), but yes if drivers think of themselves as individuals (selfishly) rather than as part of a bigger system then their actions can impact on others ... this also...

My driver side door blade finally gave up the ghost yesterday. Fortunatley the plastic bracket and screws were OK. On inspection the metal insert seems to rust inside the rubber moulding causing expansion and distortion of the rubber which releases the plastic bracket and then results in the...

Well I was just playing about at the weekend on the card and thought I'd see if the sunroof would close automatically. Previous full closure alarms I have used would close the windows and roof automatically when setting the alarm or locking the doors so I assumed my S3 didn't have it ... Anyway...

If it is engaged there will be some reduction from flywheel horsepower down to wheel horsepower but don't forget you get transmission losses through the gearbox and diffs etc. so even in FWD mode you will always get a difference between flywheel and wheel horsepower anyway ...Martin

Forgot to say ... Something not everyone knows about are the turn in and apex dots for the driving schools (probably still there) ... Once you can see and read these you can really accelerate your learning of the track and 'hook up' your laps - don't try and do this to begin with as whilst you...

The Nurburgring is astonishing ! Not been since 2005 (used to go a lot before then) but believe a lot has changed in terms of how busy it is, insurance checks etc. If you go, go with your eyes WIDE open ... You can have a great time driving around a few sighting laps, even at moderate speeds as...
