Ive decided to give the 'air con bomb' a go, as ive noticed a slight nasty smell in my car. Can anyone recommend any specific brands? From some quick googling it seems to be a simple enough procedure, with instructions and the best location to place the bomb varying greatly. I've read its...

SO guys I have the Alpine HCE-C252RD reversing camera, connected to my Alpine head unit. It's a great job but I have had to modify the numberplate light / boot handle holder in order to create a space for it, and then essentially glue it in. Alpine do holders for them, but sadly they do not...

Guys I need to remove my HVAC unit and first need to get the storage tray and grab handles out of the way. Problem is, one seems to be blocking the other! Which one of these is supposed to come out first? Im fairly sure my storage tray is blocking access to two screws near the front, holding on...

Some of you may know that if you ordered the non smoking pack from factory, it would have came with the storage tray already fitted, rather than the ashtray. Like me, a lot of you have retrofitted the storage tray, but how many of you also retrofitted the ambient LED light that shines into the...

A couple of years ago my drivers heated seat stopped heating! I got it checked out by a local indy garage and they told me the heating elements have gone. As were going into the winter months now, whats my best option to get this fixed? Apparently the seat is a nightmare to strip and put back...

Hi Folks, Ive read different posts about this but it doesnt really seem to match any of them. Ive already had the issue with the alarm going off and the leaking wiper motor, but ive fixed that and sealed the wiper motor up. Everything is bone dry. My issue is that the switch on the boot lid...

Guys my passengers side front door speaker seems to have blown in my 2009 S3 8P. It's farting away, meaning its impossible to listen to music, so it needs replaced asap! Ive found a part number of 8P0035411. Ive seen this just by itself, and followed by "B" and "C". Does anyone know the...

Hi Guys, Bit of a strange issue. Finally got round to adjusting the rebound on my KW V3's last night. Got the fronts adjusted no problem, however the adjustment wheel on the back simply wont budge. The rebound and bump adjustment wheels, both turn fine on the front coilivers, as does the bump...

Hey guys, So basically was having this conversation with a group of my friends the other day. Some have the Leon Cupra (the 265bhp version) and we were discussing how the S3 has the haldex 4 wheel drive and the Leon doesn't. Obviously the haldex will assist with launch off the line (especially...

Hi guys, I am currently doing research on a rear view camera, and have opted for an Alpine model to compliment my Alpine head unit. However I am now trying to source an "installation kit" that will hopefully replace my current boot handle, with a shorter handle with a camera housing...

Guys what's currently the 'best' parking sensors on the market? I don't use an RNS-E so I dont think there is much point in going down the OEM route with the control box etc etc. So a good set of after market ones is prob my best bet I would imagine? Are the Electromagnetic systems any good...

Hey peeps, I will be going over to visit some relatives in Manchester at the end of August and was wondering if anyone could give me any tips on where to go or what do to? Anything relating to cars would be good but even general ideas would also be appreciated. I will be along with my brother...

Hey guys, I have the KW V3s installed in my s3 and have never had any problems with them (which is a flipping good job considering the cost lol) but the time has come now that I would like to make them a bit more 'compliant' shall we say. Maybe im getting old... Anywho, they are currently on...

Hi guys, You know the expression you learn something new every day? Well this weekend I discovered the importance of using the correct type of wheel stud for your car. So there are probably much more detailed guides online, but this is just a very quick post to tell you guys. Above diagram...

Hi guys, So quite ****** off right now. Basically I ordered some brand new TTRS discs from Audi a couple of weeks ago. The discs arrived with damage to them so I took some pics and got a return authorised. Today I have taken delivery of the replacement set of discs, and there is still damage...

Some of you may know this website as the guys who are famous for the dewipering of VAG vehicles. I thought they had quite a good reputation, as I know people who have ordered from them before.. Well, my experience was less than satisfactory. To sum it up, I ordered my glass bung, heard...

Hi guys, Running into a bit of trouble finding the correct pads. I want to go with EBC redstuff for my TTRS front setup, but some people are telling me one thing and some another. Could anyone confirm EBC do a redstuff pad for the TTRS setup, and where I can buy this? Thanks.

So finally got round to getting my as-net stickers on the s3! Went for the silver ones that stick on the inside of the window. These work really well with tinted windows. Quite happy with them! I have an identical one on the other side as well.
