Hi, Yes they are a great car. Really miss my 3dr FL I had to sell for medical reasons (I needed an Auto) I managed to get the insurance adjustment down £73 over the online quote. I did a online comparison today & what I found amusing was the auto generated value when I put the model & age of...

As i said it wasn't a massive issue but the fact a friend of mine had an 8V Saloon remapped/decatted & has basically regretted it from day 1. I wanted to know whether MPG was going to fall off a cliff. With the traffic levels road standards etc & me being a duffer I couldn' t care less about...

Yes i believe the Gearbox has been remapped. As alluded to, Not buying an S3 for Economy, My previous one I was perfectly happy with the economy & the performance. I just didn't want it to be markedly worse than a standard car. I was commenting that an S Tronic is more predisposed to Stage 2 as...

Hi, Considering a car that has a Revo stage 2 map. I have owned an 8P S3 previously but although the car had a Miltek fitted I never had the chance to check whether it had been remapped. Car I am interested in is an S-Tronic which Iirc is better suited to remap than the Manual (which i had...

Yes it was up at £15495. As I said I was in the area and it was literally 3 miles down the road so I thought I would have a look. I paid £14k for a 72k miles example that had Wingback Bose & magride. I had to get rid as it was manual due to my Bike accident and tried to sell it on here & ebay...

Hi, Was looking at the above in a garage (an indie sports dealers in Birminham) Just under 55k, S-tronic Every option ( bar magride, Which I had on my last 8P) Car looked very clean- Only fly in the ointment 7 owner car. Figures with my px were acceptable but that's my worry when I come to sell...

1 regulator & a wallet £175 lighter & we're all done. Thanks to all for your inputs...............................

Hi, Just put new battery on my 8p 3dr S3. Reset time, reset windows to enable 1 touch then checked that convenience feature was working. Rolled windows down in unlock mode, Pressed lock mode to return windows to closed position and the passenger window has stuck in that I on either switch can...

Yep i tried having the seat back fully forward and then lifting the lever to initiate the slide but to no avail. I will try and have a look under the seat to see if something has come adrift. Thanks

Hi, Just a point of curiousity really but can anyone tell me if and when easy entry seats on 3DR 8P S3's were fitted model year wise? My 09 does not have them. Had a 60 plate Scirocco a few years ago that did Question applies to both std and the Recaro Wingback option. Thanks Alan

Hi, I know this is an old thread but i have the same problem on my 09 facelift S3. I have changed the top mounts under the advice of the "expert" that recently serviced it but to no avail much to my extreme annoyance. As far as i can tell it only occurs when the imperfection in the surface is...

Had a service on my 8P S3 last week and. had an advisory that these were corroded and along with the bushes required replacing. Can anyone please advise how difficult this job is to do it yourself? Thanks in advance Alan

A while ago i had a big wheel wobble under braking. I took the car to my "go to" guy who opinioned it was a worn bottom ball joint. The tracking was done afterwards. The result being my wheel being off centre( Which i positively detest) The problem never disappeared and so i then under...

Cheers fellas

Hi, Anyone any idea what size the 2 airbag retaining screws are in the steering wheel? Thanks Alan

No not yet chap spending too much on servicing and repairs and have also been neglecting my RSV4 so i doubt very much it will get done. TBH with the crap state the roads are in plus the amount of traffic i don't honestly think i can justify the outlay......

While recently changing my Cam Follower, Noticed that one of the fastenings that attach it to the snorkel (of 2) on the plastic air intake guide had broken off. It is the part that attaches to the front panel. Is it easy to remove/refit? as i am about to order a replacement. Thanks

With regard to the Recaro Buckets, You would be better off changing the rear as well as the option was a load through section with armrest and cup holders. Mine has this option, i don't think i could live with standard seats after having them. When i 1st bought the car the missus was moaning...

Changed the follower and HPFP seal this morning chaps. Minimal wear on the DLC on the follower inside and out so for peace of mind sake its all good for a while now. For an (largely) oik like me when it comes to mechanicals it was a breeze to do as well. Thanks for everyones advice btw

If i remove the HPFP to check the wear and it looks OK am i ok to use the existing HPFP seal?
