I am overseas and away from my car, hence the request for help, so I can order parts that will be ready for me when I return. I have a noisy rear wheel bearing which I intend to fix myself. (I've done a bearings before so I know they can be a tough job) My question is whether the rear hub...

£3 ish from main dealer. A gentle upward twisting force is all that's needed to remove. Accessed from the top of the engine, a pair of long, angled nose pliers is ideal for the job.

A point on the standard (ie OEM) rods. They are sufficient for a standard car, running standard boost, at either 210 or 225 bhp. In all my years with turbo/high performance road cars, the ONLY time I have come across engine problems like holed pistons & bent roads is when a car has been chipped...

If you are doing this job on your own, without an extra pair of hands or garage lift I'd allow at least a couple of hours to do this. My best advice is to take the driveshaft off the car alltogether and hold it in a vice so you can tap off the outer CV joint, remove old boot/install new boot...

Hi Pat - how did you get on changin the bushes?

Has anyone got any experience of changing these, any tips or hints? I've done many a bush before so not looking for general advice, but anything specific to the S3 would be appreciated. Thanks

Oh and so you know - the judder was through the wheel so no doubt it was brake related and not suspension. All judder was entirely eliminated by changing the discs.

thought i'd give you an update. I changed the discs again....and within no time at all the same thing happened. So this time I had the discs removed and machined plus changed for a different pad & voila. So it seems the pad i had was the problem, too hard a compound perhaps. Lesson learned...

sorry dont have the sizes, but the way I measurem any vaccum hose is to insert a twist drill to find a snug fit - then you have the size you need.

a pair of front mats from the main dealer cost me about 35 quid.

The fault codes will remain in the memory until cleared. But this wont stop the new parts making the engine run properly. What sysmptoms did you have?

any ideas?

Every S3 i have seen does this

Mine is a 2003 S3 and it's just started doing someting a bit funny when you hot start. It fires nio problem and cold start is normal. All other runnign characteristics seem normal. When you hot start, the revs will remain at between 1200 - 1400 for a good 30 seconds after start, instead of...

You've pretty much summed up the main differences vetween the PS & PS2 !!! The PS2's are what many Porsches are supplied with from the factory, I think they are an awesome all round tyre

The bushes aren't too expensive if you are overhaulign the wishbone yourself. But paying a garage the time to do it might make it cheaper to just replace the wishbone. The work to remove and refit a wishbone is really very little, but removing the old bushes and fittign new ones is where the...

Do you knwo which bushes are worn - there are many up front. If you din't fancy doin the rear spring, then you wont fancy changin bushes. Some are easy, others are a bit more involved. Worth doing ASAP then getting a full wheel alignment.

Space Cowboy - do you knwo the max run out for the discs.........and at the risk of beng cheeky.....what does your Dad think of Delphi quality? I've never had probs with them in the past so was happy enough to go for them for my S3, jsut couldn't believe when she started bone-shakin again...
