Hi all, So, I'm getting an S3 in the next couple of months and already looking to lower it. I've got AP's on my 8P A3 at the moment and although I rate them highly, I just wished they went 10mm or so lower. From the photos I've seen, this seems to be the case with the 8L's. Has anyone got...

Hi all, So, once I finally get rid of my 8P A3, I will be getting an S3 so have been knocking around a few ideas. First mod that I'm going for is coilovers as I can't stand the standard arch gap. I've currently got AP coilovers wound right down on my 8P and only get problems with people in...

Hi all, Looking to buy my first 8L S3 once I sell my 8P A3. When scouting Autotrader, PistonHeads, eBay etc, I've noticed that some S3's have armrests and some don't appear to have one. Is there a general rule as to which S3's have them? e.g. facelift only. If I settle on an S3 without one...

Just seen this on eBay. AUDI A3 S3 REPLICA IN CHROME- CUSTOM SHOW CAR 1.6 RS3 S LINE R32 VXR K1 TT RS GT | eBay Someone say tinfoil? :scared2:

As above, just for fun. Which colour 8L S3 is fastest? :sly:

Hi all, So, following on from this thread http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a3-s3-sportback-8p-chassis/204708-am-i-being-stupid.html I'm pretty much set on coming over to the darkside/from the darkside, and getting an S3 8L. Now, I've read the stickies and threads on buying an S3 so I'm aware of...

Hi all, Had my A3 for around a year and a half now and it's been fine up until a few months ago. Turns out that it needs a fair bit of work on it which will make my bank account sad so I'm thinking about selling up. I've worked out that if I sold up and bought a cheaper run around, I could end...

Hi all, So, after around a year and a half of owning my A3 (details in sig), my coolant light has just come up flashing on the DIS. Never had to top it up on previous cars but after some research, it seems that I can't be topping it up with a different coolant and mixing them. What coolant do...

Hi all, Finally decided I'm going to plasti dip my front grill as I really can't afford to buy the OEM atm. Just one question though. Should I plastidip the whole grill or just the silver surround...

2.0TFSI Quattro Manual or 2.0TFSI FWD DSG? Currently got an A3 2.0FSI and saving for a new car next year as I need more power. Won't be able to afford an S3 so 2.0TFSI is the next best option. 2.0TFSI DSG Quattro seem to be like rocking horse stuff so I'm left with the 2 options above. I'd...

...how the flip do I do it? And do I need a spring compressor? Ive been trying to adjust my rear AP coilovers but the adjusters are stuck and everything is rotating when using the c spanner. I've tried everything including putting a jack under the spring to put pressure on the top thread but...

Only the rear camber can be adjusted on a standard A3/S3. Yes, 4 wheel alignment will include camber adjustment.

Hi all, So, I've had my California Scents airfreshner in the car for a few months now and I need a new one. Going to purchase a few from Babz on eBay but I was thinking of trying some new ones rather than purchasing the usual Coronado Cherry. So I just wanted to know.... What's your top 3...

Hi all, Decided I wanted to go a bit lower on the rear of my A3. I've got AP coilovers so the adjuster is at the top but when using the C spanner to adjust it, the whole thing spins including the black plate at the top! I've read that this is a common problem but not read of a solution. Any...

Hi all, I know there's a billion and one threads about what grill to get and how to replace grill etc but I couldn't find any answers to my question. I'm toying with the idea of Plasti Dip'ing my grill as I'm a bit bored with the look of my car and want a cheap mod. I was going to buy an FK...

Hi all, Got in my car and started to drive yesterday and heard a constant RRR RRR RRR kind of noise. Only happens when car is moving and sound gets worse when I turn left. The noise is coming from the right hand side. A few months ago I had some work done on that side, new suspension arm and...

Hi all, Engine Management Light's been on for a good few months now so it's time to get it sorted. Scanned my car with VCDS and got the following fault codes relating to the engine. I've tried clearing them but they just come back after 5 mins of driving. Doesn't really seem to affect...

Hi all, I've finally decided that I'm fed up with my OEM BE wheels sitting so far in the arches (ET54) and I'm going to buy some spacers. Question is, I was going to go 10mm and 12mm as it's the most popular choice, however 10mm and 12mm spacers are almost double the price of 8mm ones. I'm...

So, scanning through Autotrader earlier (when I should really be working) and I came across this what looks like Ads' old A3... Audi A3 2.0 T FSI Sport 3dr DSG # STUNNING LOOK # 2006 If only it wasn't over 150 miles away :(

Hi all, So, finally getting the alignment sorted on my A3 after fitting my coilovers. Taking it to a local place that uses the Hunters 4 Wheel Alignment system. This is the first time I've actually had the alignment done properly instead of just having tracking done, so I've a couple of...
