300k miles x 27ish mpg now thats a lot of petrol lol I would guess at that mileage it's had at least one turbo and clutch and most likely most suspension parts changed. If she drives nicely and everything feels as it should I cant see a problem with it, I've owned several s3's and one which had...

S3's have always been good at holding money, I gave £4k for a '99 with a little over 100k but lots of history, almost 2 years ago. admitedly I was in the right place at the right time, but I like to think I could still see my money back for it now. Can't see S3's ever being a £1500 or even a £2k...

Usual cause for cat failure is the lambda not reading correctly, which is why most if not all after market cat manufactuors will recommend that the lambda is changed at the same time.

depending on the company anywhere from £60 to £100 for a recon. But when I stripped mine down, all of the internals including the brushes were barely worn after 120k miles, so the only thing that had broken down was the 2" of cable on the outside of it. Best option is to go to an auto...

Mine has just done the same, last couple of starts have been a bit slow, so I put it down to the battery as I only drive the car maybe one a week. But tried to start it last weds and nothing, dash is all on and the battery is fine as I tried a new one as well. So I decided to remove the...

Another difference in terms of mapping S3's the early ones can't be mapped via the com port and will need the ecu opening up and the chip swapping.

mine is the same, cleaned everything off so that I could see where any new oil is coming from, but still can't track it down. Will probbaly end up stripping everything down just to find it's something really stupid.

If its the 1" ish diameter black plastic pipe it runs to the aux air pump that cuts in when you start from cold, it should clip to the side of your airbox just under the maf, they fall of quite easily if not clipped properly.

Or if your not too bothered about the auto leveling, just unplug the motors and set the beams where you want them.

the story actually goes, you were parked up in a layby late at night and fancied a quicky, wound the seat back, and broke it with too much jigy jigy lol Could be that the wire has pulled out of the plug, or the switch has broken. Is a mass of wires under the seats so could be that something's...

Mine spends most of it's life on country roads and is usually around 30 - 32mpg My S4 before it on the otherhand was lucky to break into the 20's LOL

You'll need a tool to remove the oil filter; which can be had from ebay or your local motorfactor can probbaly get them from sealey or lazer tools, and some allen keys to remove the contol unit, not a bad job to do, can be a bit fiddly to get to, especially if not on a ramp, but not a hard job.

Had a go with mine earlier, didn't take the dials off so not sure if i got it hot enough, was using a paint stripper gun, so was concious of the display getting too hot and cracking, how hot does it need to be? doesn't seem to be any different, will give it a while to see if it gets any better...

was looking at a set of those the other day, look to be the new ttrs at this rate LOL

is redex compatable with cats? I'd be warey of putting anything designed for a 1970's motor in a modern engine at the best of times.

mine's a 210 ona '99 and only runs about 10-11 psi does feel slightly sluggish but put that down to my last S3 being remapped, will have to have a look at it now.

When I picked my S3 up I thought the ride was a little harsh for std suspension, checked the tyres, 53psi all round !! have always ran about 34 - 35 all round in my other s3's I find 32 feels a little too soft. But it all depends on the type of rubber you've got and the roads you drive down, and...

Most jap cars have pathetic charging systems, and the earlier ones would run 12v on charge vs 14.5v on most cars. The standard battery on a Evo 4,5 or 6 is almost half the size of a fiesta one, then consider the amount of electronic gizmos they run; Although they do have about 6 earths to the...

A mate of mine has an r32 turbo, and yes it sounds the nuts, goes like **** and has a serious petrol addiction. Love it !
