    Rs3 pad change

    Wow is that it? Do you need to use VCDS or OBD11 or something to put the brakes into 'service position' is that what its called? That it? Then the pads just come out? Might even be worth doing just to properly check my pad wear.

    What did the wheel set you back in AUD?

    Rs3 valve control programming?

    The car will not throw a code if, a. The correct plugs are used. b. They are fitted properly. Your wording makes it seem like it's a given that there will be a fault code and you are wrong if that is what you are saying, that's what I am trying to clarify here. The plugs do not guarantee a...

    Rs3 valve control programming?

    Yeah then your mate had the ones with the incorrect resistor for his car, which is my point. These do NOT limit power when the right ones are used. This is my dyno sheet. very normal curve. When the plugs are wrong, the curve takes a **** over 5k.

    Rs3 valve control programming?

    yes, they work, there are no codes, and car makes full power with them in use. Yours may have not been the right ones, there is a resistor which is in a different place on those plugs, you have to make sure its the right version or they do not work. You should hit up where you bought them from...

    Stage Three Build

    You dont wanna drive it for at least a month to make sure its not a faulty car in some way? You got balls instantly voiding your powertrain warranty like that.

    Facelift Rough Idle; Misfire?

    Your misfire count looks normal except for cyl2, they should be within 10-15% of each others numbers. Mine logged about 900 in 6-7 months, so its about right... Ive since tuned and the counter resets each time you flash the car. I think the transmission bumping around with downshifts is more...

    Facelift First FL engine to go?

    Well we don't have the autobahn here and you get shot for speeding :) I have been logging my car since getting Unitronic stage 1+ and truth is our 98 is not up to snuff. It pulls timing right after 41C IATs. If I add 4L of E85 to the 98 tank it runs well and pulls zero timing. Our 98 here has...

    FL Pirelli alternatives

    On mine the sidewall with the Michelins sticks out probably 7 or 8mm. And with the sidewall being much stronger actually IMO, I think there is a bit more likelihood of protection now than there used to be. The Pirelli's definitely saved my *** once or twice, but my wife... both times, the...

    FL Pirelli alternatives

    I wouldn't say I have no issues, but I would definitely say I have a lot less issues. I don't see the TC light come on nearly as often for sure. But having 500hp now means I also stick it in sport when I get on the gas pretty hard. I really don't think the TC thing can actually be fully solved.

    FL Pirelli alternatives

    Yeah you could. But actually 35 profile means the Speedo will in reality be more accurate. They are about 3% off already on these cars from factory. When I go past radars now it says my speed is spot on.

    PFL : Flashing Traction Control Symbol / Light in Instrument Cluster

    Not on my car it doesn't, not if you run them square, its actually improved the stock staggered pirelli hypo TC issue. I dont get why everyone on this UK forum thinks the Michelin's CAUSE the TC issues... Y'all running staggered Michelin's?

    FL Pirelli alternatives

    The PS4S does not cause any more TC issues than the stock tyres already do, so long as you go square setup on them. TC is hyperactive on these cars, its a bug in the way they programmed it if anything. I went from stock staggered Pirelli's to SQUARE Michelin PS4S 245/35 all round, and I get...

    Facelift Pirelli Tyre Defects - Response

    I just changed from Stock staggered Pirelli's to Michelins. My outside edges were totally bald. The insides were perfect, no issues at all. The shop reckoned my alignment was well out too, but I dont have any kind of printout to see.

    Facelift Another tire down!

    Were you running staggered sized Michelins? I run 245/35 Square Michelins and have no probs at all. The stock Pirellis have nearly 3% rolling diameter difference, I would think that would have more issues than identical rolling diameters. And sure enough, my TC light used to be totally hypo on...

    Has Anybody Fitted the Wagner Evo 1 Intercooler?

    Sorry you are right, I was thinking of the 8P EVO1, which is only 8litre. http://www.wagner-tuning.com/product/audi/audi-rs3/performance-ladeluftkuehler-kit-evo-1-audi-ttrs-rs3-200001019-1.html So I guess those who have a PFL have never had an EVO1 option until this new one came out a few...

    Has Anybody Fitted the Wagner Evo 1 Intercooler?

    Don't get the evo1 for the PFL it's terrible. The evo1 for the PFL car is only an 8litre tank.

    Has Anybody Fitted the Wagner Evo 1 Intercooler?

    Well I'm probably at ~500hp already with the uni tune. I was aiming for 600 crank or thereabouts eventually. Still well below what a lot of these aftermarket units are supporting. Simply put the Evo 3 is an illegal mod in Australia as you know... I'll just buy one and test. For street driving...

    Has Anybody Fitted the Wagner Evo 1 Intercooler?

    Yeah the EVO1 looks to be about 4-5C difference from the Evo3 in cooling performance. However, when Wagner tested both of them, ambient temps were 3-4C which is insanely cold for any useful data. I would have liked to see 25C ambient when testing was done... But oh well. I will definitely...
