hi all I just took delivery of a spacemaster wheel for my sq5. I have a little tire inflator which struggled to inflate the tire fully, just wondering if anyone knows which inflator is meant for use with the spacemaster? There are loads of genuine audi tire inflators on ebay, I just want to...

hi all I am about to pick up a 2014 SQ5 that does not have a spare wheel. I have been doing some reading and it appears that a 19 inch space saver would fit on the car (definitely on the rear). I just want to check that there would be no problem running a 4j space saver on this car at slow...

hi all I have a 2014 B8.5 s4. I feel the car is pretty quiet when in normal auto drive, it also seem similar when in manual mode, but when auto sport is selected it sounds fantastic. Today I planned to do the exhuast flap mod by pulling out and sealing the vacuum pipe, but I couldn’t find it...

hi all Has anyone with a b8/b8.5 s4 removed their front resonators? Mine are rattling and doing my head in, and a solution could be getting a straight through section to replace the front resonators. Would the increase in noise be significant and should I expect some annoying motorway drone...

hi all, I'm looking for advice on 2 annoying rattles that have recently developed on my b8.5 S4. The first seems to be coming from the exhaust, I can create the noise revving at idle but it is worse when driving mainly when slowing down Please see video: I bought the car approved used 6...

hi there Has anyone fitted Quattro decals on the rear doors/sideskirt and if so does anyone have pictures of this? I cannot decide if this would look good or tacky, thoughts? I am considering going for black Quattro decals on my red s4 saloon Cheers in advance Pete

Hi all I have been contemplating a new fast Audi for some time although have been tied into a lease on my A4 1.4 TFSi. After much deliberation and lots of helpful advice from you guys, I decided on an s4 and saw a 14 plate with the spec I wanted for a ridiculously cheap price and bit the...

hi all My 8p s3 was stage 1 mapped and very quickly the stock manual clutch gave up. I have done a bit of reading re the B8.5 mapping which suggests the auto box can handle the power increase ok even beyond stage 1? Would you expect a good clutch life expectancy with stage 1 or is a remap...

hi all I am currently considering the options for my next car. I have had an s3 and A4 avant in the past and currently have the new A4 saloon on lease. I am looking for something approximately 2-3 years old up to about 40k miles around £25k. I love the s3 saloon but also think the S4 and 5...

hi all I'm considering either an RSQ3 or an 8V S3 for my next car. I'd likely be buying something about 3 years old with approx 20-30k miles. I know the performance is similar for both, the s3 will handle better and the RSQ3 just sounds so sweet. Can anyway tell me what to expect from running...

Hi all I am considering an RS Q3 as my next car. Not that this would be a deal breaker, but I have 2 sets of 17 inch alloys with winter tyres that I have run on my previous 8p s3. The centre bore and PCD etc are the same, but does anyone know if the 17 inch wheels would clear the brakes? Or...

Hi all Are the 8p s3 and a3 front wings the same or different parts? I have a 2007 s3 Cheers in advance Pedro

Hi all When washing my car today, I noticed one of my front arches is rusting on my 2007 s3. Are Audi any good at honouring their 12 year anti corrosion warranty? Eg not honouring the warranty if the car doesn't have a full audi service history etc? Cheers Pedro

Hi all I currently have an 8p S3 with stage 1 remap. At some point I'm looking to replace the car and I'm tempted by an A8. Browsing the classifieds suggests you can get around a 2011 3.0 tdi with 50k miles for under £20k which seems like good value to me. The big question is, how is it...

hi all I have an 8p s3 running custom stage 1 map. When I bought the car a year ago I fitted new Michelin PS3 tyres, they performed great but wore very quickly, they were done after 5k miles I have winter tyres on just now but am looking to buy tyres to put on in the next month or 2. The...

hi all I'm considering getting a 2.0 TFSInQ3 at some point. Revo stage 1 remap is said to increase power from 170 bhop to 250+ bhp. Has anyone had this done? Will the q3 handle this much power gain, specifically the clutch? The reason I ask is I currently have an 8p s3 with stage 1 map and...

hi all I have a 2007 s3 with 63k on the clock. It has a stage 1 map running around 300bhp. Last night, the clutch started slipping. I have done some searching about clutch options, and seen differing opinions. I've read new standard clutch +/- a new flywheel should be ok for stage 1? I have...

hi all Just bought myself an 07 plate s3 in sprint blue. Loving it so far, it has a stage 1 map and fairly shifts! Where I live I really need winter tyres. I have bought wheel/tyre packages from mytyres before. you can get 16 x 6.5 (5 x 112 x 57, 50.00 offset) but I assume they won't fit over...

Hi all, just signed up to the forum. I bought a 57 plate A4 Avant 1.8t in December and love it so far, although two things bother me. The hideous phone cradle; I have sat nav, do I need to remove the sat nav unit to remove the cradle and is this straightforward to do? Also I'm not keen on...
