Hiya guys, happy new year Selling some bits off my A3 which was returned to stock prior to sale. Eibach Sportline Performance Spring Kit - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/155985142875 PRORAM Performance Induction Kit - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/155985145583 Cheers, Ross

yeah my dads got a non-VRS one and its a lot of car for the money. The boot huuuuuugggeeee

We had a baby and thought the A3 would be big enough, we were wrong. can get the pram in the boot and nothing else lol Sadly it means moving away from the Audi club after many years, but staying within the VAG Group. looking at Skoda Octavia VRS.

Mines 112k and Motorway were stating a lowest price of £7300. Private sale is really tempting for the possible extra cash, but past experience of private sales and dealing with wombles puts me right off. just getting the wheels done then i think i'll give Motorway the nod. fair play that...

interestingly i am in the same boat. selling my mapped A3 as needing something bigger. general advice i've been given is to not declare the map as you'll just open can of worms of people stating the clutch is going to go and want money off blah blah blah i'll probably sell mine through motoway...

can you tell which side of the engine the noise is coming from? also, if you've got a recording of the sound that would be helpful

Diesels love to rattle - mine is no exception lol when did the problem first start? have you had any work done recently? is it worse on cold start? on cold start my TDI is rattly, but once it warms up it's normally fine.

I assume that you don't actually leave the car idle for "a few hours" never a good idea to leave a car idling for prolonged periods. what engine do you have?

A guy i worked with had a TC issue with his S3 running stage 2 with DSG map. flooring it would just light up the front wheels. Turned out it was the Haldex Pump that was failing. Replaced the pump and all sorted.

i have a RAMAIR induction kit fitted to my 2.0 TDI which is also mapped. no noticeable difference (fitted the induction kit after the map) just sounds louder on idle and you can hear more whoosh noises from the turbo.

There are a number of bleed screws on the cooling system, or you can run the car with the header tank cap off and heating system on full to allow the trapped air to escape. You'll know it's all out when the reserve coolant in the header tank stops bubbling. if you've had the water pump done...

I wouldn't bother getting a new silica bag, the purpose of them is to expand the life of the coolant i believe, but half the time they end up bursting and blocking the heater matrix. This very thing happened to me. As far as i'm aware nothing in Audi servicing says about flushing the coolant...

It was around 35mm-40mm. I believe i'm correct in saying that the figures they quote you are from stock height. The S-Line is about 15mm lower than a standard A3 so that drop was actually more like 20-25mm.

C2 DTN wrote a guide on how to do it and also has some pictures of the end results. https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/how-to-guide-fitting-lowering-springs-a3-s3-8v.250978/ the springs used were H&R 28826-2 I've got my A3 S-line on Eibach sportline performance springs and they are decent...

So i've got A3 TDI, but i'll share my story. I was toying with getting the car mapped for AGES. I did quite a bit of research as there are a lot of different maps out there, but eventually settled on an Avon Tuning map, good gains, and the installer garage local to me had great reviews for...

Love this idea! Dont hate the player, hate the game. :tearsofjoy:

Yeah as NHN said, get the map tuned down or part with some money for a new clutch. If you're going to go down the route of getting the map tuned down, would be advisable to do it sooner rather than later as the clutch is only going to get worse with the current map. Sent from my CLT-L09 using...

The map will be putting more torque through the clutch, therefore putting it under more strain. The clutch may have been fine before but it's the way with maps that they cause parts to fail quicker. Happened to a friends Cupra, literally 2 weeks after he had it mapped the clutch started to...

Not to state the obvious but it sounds likely that the clutch is slipping. If you're putting your foot down in gear and the revs go up but the car doesn't speed up, it sounds very clutch related. How many miles has the car done? Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

kind of goes with any car, but annual oil servicing. I think as well that the timing belt on those engines is 133k miles or 5 years, so for your car would be due this year. possibly use as a haggling chip if it's not already been done. I've owned a 2013 2.0 TDI for 5 years and mechanically i...
