    Trying to do justice to the 1.6 engine (A3 8L)

    Tuffty wrote a pretty comprehensive post before there was the mishap in which the thread was deleted. I couldn't quote it in detail, but some significant points which probably bear my repeating are: i) You're likely to get the best bang-per-buck improvements out of it (such as they'll be) by...

    out of the box and finally onto my car 3sdm 00.1 !!

    Just to clear up this matter; there's nothing in the rules about bumping old threads. I think there's some stuff about not behaving like peckers. Rob.

    MASSIVE problems with my Sport

    What he said ^^^ A VCDS scan would be useful, it offers far more detail than P(ants) codes; and you can log stuff too. (I was just writing to suggest that some more specificity might not go amiss (details of engine/year etc.) - and a location configured in your profile might increase the...

    The not so great Forge Splitter question

    By a long way. I've only just got over 06-07. Anyway. And so on and so forth...

    The not so great Forge Splitter question

    @badger5 I don't know what you mean? The last Ashes series was played in the northern hemisphere summer, and while England weren't as convincing as in other recent series, still successful. The next series will be played in 2015. NO OTHER GAMES HAVE BEEN PLAYED. :drag:

    A3 Quattro TDI Re-Shell Into Audi TT225

    Only just spotted this thread (as most know, I spend most of my time in the bowels of the server with a flashlight and a canary)... And... HOLY CRAP! You dismantled an 8L TDI... 3 Door Quattro. The best 8L package they ever built, and rare as rocking horse muck. Banned. Seriously...

    The not so great Forge Splitter question

    How the f**k is this Maty J chump still here after his response to Tuffty in post #3?!? For future reference: If a moderator asks you to imrpove your linguistic game, you don't respond like that. ...Because when a cranky Administrator happens to notice the thread, he bans you for a week so...

    Should a drummer avoid lowering and coilovers?

    Changing ariel to shark fin

    AndyC-S3 pretty much nails it. There's no OEM swapout sharkfin, as they're primarily satcom aerials - so even if you get the right cable termination sorted out on a homebodged one, you'll get little or no radio reception because they're tuned to different bandwidths/impedance. Your stock...

    Insurance between buying new and selling old... confused!!!

    So as jojo says, you'd normally just swap the insurance to the new car for the day you collect it. The issue with the A3 going at a later date would previously have been fairly straightforward - if you don't need to drive it you could've perhaps garaged it without insurance until it goes, but...

    Ebay For sale, take 2 - it only gets better

    What's the betting that chain around his neck is 24 carat glass-reinforced plastic? Dude... "i cant" #facepalm :nyah: ;) R

    Elsawin workshop manual PDF's

    Don't wish to sound like a t**t, but I hope this is a rhetorical question. In reality, this stuff should NEVER be posted to the public forum - you ARE breaching copyright, and tangling us up as a catalyst. As it is, the odd thing appears from time to time, and it slips through the net (read...

    Missfire on all cylinders and smoke :(

    Oil on the MAF will likely affect its reading, but if it's spraying oil everywhere there's every chance it's further in, and oil will reduce the combustibility of your petrol, another reason for misfires. The list goes on. So the thrust bearing on the turbo isn't oil-tight anymore, as far as...

    Pagid Pads ??

    I think poor budget pad is a little harsh. They're not DS2500's, and while they are 'budget', they'll more than get through an MOT. Anyway, with regard to your main question, as far as I'm aware (this was certainly the case not too many years ago), Pagid make the vast majority of Audi OE pads...

    Puncture Repair ?

    Jesus I wish I had as much spare time as some of you girls ;p Right; no big waffles... Firstly, Reptor probably has a point; the tyres are the only bit of your car that touch the road. The peace of mind and paperwork is probably worth the few quid you save. If it's a massive problem, sell the...

    N80 Valve - A shiny penny to the clever sausage...

    Well, tuffty gets the clever sausage shiny penny award because he was technically first, but you both had the bit (although neither really suggested where it physically sits in the bay ;)) It is the badger sat in the top of the charcoal filter box, between washer bottle and expansion tank...

    N80 Valve - A shiny penny to the clever sausage...

    ...who can tell me where I'm likely to find the N80 (Evap/Fuel Tank Breather) valve on an AGN engined 1.8 Prefacelift (if of course it has one). Pretty desperate to find it ASAP, so would be most grateful for any pointers! Cheers, Rob.

    Spam attack. Dealt with now. Please use the 'Report Post' button or PM site staff if you see similar again. Links to WSBOBO's posts might appear here and there, but once they get bumped-down will vanish. Cheers, Rob.

    Oil Light, Pressure, sensor???

    As above, biggest bet is clogged pick-up at sump. Best advice - don't 'boost quite hard' until you've sorted it. You might be lucky and sort it out with an oil change (so long as you use some decent flush and drop it quite warm); but don't put Mobil1 in, and be gentle testing when you've got...
