Hi. Wondering if anyone can help with a bit of a random issue I have with my S3? The rear number plate lights are on all the time. It's drained my battery twice before I realised what was causing it. No other lights are on and the lights are off at the dash. Anyone had this issue ever?!

The OEM S2000 one gets good feedback. I bought one from eurocarparts for £20 and it works a treat ;)

I paid £5k for a similar car with 48k miles from a garage a year and a half ago...

Thanks for all the info y'all. So after doing some digging, and taking all the above into account, I recon the best thing for me is a set of Eibach springs with some Billy B8s. Now to do some saving :P

Would love somit like that, way more than Id like to spend though...

So with what are probably 11 year old shocks on the S3, Im using it as an excuse to look at replacing the suspension and whilst Im at it, dropping it a bit. However, given its my daily, and the roads in town are freakin awful, I dont want anything too crashy. Im steering towards FK AK Street...

Wish they were closer :( Good results, happy days!

Charge coolers will always be more efficient than an intercooler if designed properly. If not, then theyre a mess :P Agreed tuffty that they are a lot more complicated and if theres space, an intercooler will normally be grand. Ive had a look at the PWR coolers before and would love to get one...

Coming from the world of VX220s, Ive had a few dealings with high intake temperatures. The best way to get temps down in those is to use a chargecooler. Having looked at intercooler mods, I was wondering if anyone has used a chargecooler on an S3? I know theres a fair bit of space at the front...

First dibs on your S4 wheels ;)

A mate of mine used them for his exhaust on his Z4. Said they were very good and certainly looks a good job...

Where did you get the buttons for the climate control from? my ones looking really rough and would love to do the same :)

Im sooo confused as to how many turbo options there are out there! :blink: Great result though, would be super pleased with that

Thanks for the physics lesson fella, Nicol :whistle2:

Yeah, my S3 is defo pulling harder in the cooler climate. Roll on xmas and the snow :P

Just wondering if its possible/easy to change the rods on your own car, in your own garage? Im thinking sticking it up on ramps and cracking on? Ive got a good set of tools and a fair whack of mechanical prowess but dont want to start anything that I cant finish, especially if the car aint gonna...

Yeah, Im in a sulk now. Two lush VAGs aint fair :p What spacers did you use for the S4 wheels by the way? Really tempted by a set, but worried about wheel wobble etc...

Yeah, I am just trying to avoid the drive, its a long way from Edinburgh :P Read the info on the stickies, sorry I missed it :blink: Still a bit confused. Recon Bill might be the best person to speak/give the car to

Cheers, but its a bit of a trek from Edinburgh :ohmy:

So my wee S3 is running a stage 1 map with a B5 TIP and a Forge recirc valve and is pretty nippy. My Liquid Gauge says its putting out 250bhp or so. As ever with these things tho, Im getting an itchy right foot and am looking at the options of getting it to the magic 350bhp mark. However, Im a...
