    Why I Sold my S3

    Sadly, I had to sell my S3 at the end of 2008 - This was the car bought by EssThree which he lavished untold quantities of the folding stuff to get it as Audi should have made it. DavidR then looked after for a while before I took ownership. Quite simply, it was the best car I have owned to...

    Tranction control light and ABS light

    I have exactly the same issue - Got myself VagCom which says it's the rear right ABS sensor - Which I spent an hour trying to remove this afternoon - It's a 5mm Allen Key head which is supposed to tightened to 8nm, but I can't shift it. Gave it a liberal spray of WD40 and left it for later :-(...

    VagCom in Glasgow?

    Well, I bit the bullet and bought a copy of Vag-Com (via another A-S member on Ebay). 2 minutes and I knew I needed a RHS rear ABS sensor. Great piece of software........

    Yaw sensor - Where is it?

    I'm lucky that I've got access to another A3 that I can swap parts with, but no VAGCOM. So, I'll try both of these sensors and see what's what. The power of t'internet - magic :-)

    Yaw sensor - Where is it?

    If it was, what would be the symptoms? For me, the ESP and ABS lights come on at start from cold, and after about 10/15 mins, if I stop/start, they go out and stay out - occasionally come back on on bumpy roads, and the only way to clear them is to switch the ignition off/on. When the lights...

    Yaw sensor - Where is it?

    My S3 (2001) has an intermittent problem with ESP/ABS. Looking through the forum, it appears likely that the culprit is the Yaw sensor (1J0 907 657A). I've taken off the lower dashboard on both sides, but I cannot find the damn thing! Anyone know where it is? MarkyB has one for sale, so at...

    Yes - I should have said that I have 2 loop backs, both which show 0 ohms and neither of which fixes the issue.

    Wiring Diagram

    Chris, Car's running great - not getting used too much at the mo as i'm working in the city centre and parking is very expensive. I started to try tracing the cable from the wheel arch yesterday but my pal turned up with a broken kart which took priority :-) And karts are also the...

    In the past month, my S3 (2001) has started to intermittently show the brake pad warning symbol in the DIS. I’m looking for a wiring diagram of this part of the loom so I can trace the issue. The battery is new (problem occurred before the battery was changed) The brake pad sensor...

    Anyone done Bedford ?

    I was at the Motorsport Sensation last Friday - Even when it's wet, it's the business! They do now have a 996 that has had it's suspension sorted for track work - I'd never driven a Porker before, but what a car. Fantastic day, even better if someone else is paying:-) In general the circuits...

    How can i improve the S3's handling for the track?

    Having had Glen's/David's S3 for a few weeks now, on mostly damp and slippy surfaces, I can only thank Glen for making the S3 chassis so neutral. Listen to what he says - He's done it in the real world and I, for one, can't stop smiling at the fantastic fun I'm having in it. The way it should...
