I loved my old 8P 2+ wish I knew where it was now!
Sold it in 2014 with 87k miles, I believe the following year it got another clutch at 100k miles, then I dont know :( probably dead, so much time and money put into that car over 5 years :(
Having this issue too in our 2011 Q5 with 90k miles - engine cut out of the blue with the kids in the car
Researched several threads on this and have requested a quote for crank pos sensor
I had the fuel filter changed last service but it wasnt a OE one so will look at that next
Hey guys
Looking to buying a run around and keep my S3 parked up during the week while I am at work :(
Found a car but owner is saying that it is down on boost and has installed a new actuator. Just needs set up :S
Claims he hasn't the time to do this but I have looked online and doesn't...
It may help a bit but will just depend on your driving style, if you are tracking the car, etc...
I had H&R on my S3 which did make a difference a long with an anti lift kit for the front.
Check out www.orange-tuning.de for prices for bars
I had Revo engine mounts in my S3 and I thought they were brilliant - engine noise changed and felt a lot more secure changing gear and putting the power back on
Something I haven't considered yet in my 8V but never say never
My 2007 S3 was mapped from around 20k miles and I sold it at 87k miles with Revo Stage 2+ and 372bhp with no issues - driven daily, all over ireland and UK
Bar the obvious clutch slip but thats part in parcel with tuning - replaced with organic sachs clutch
My 2007 S3 had:
H&R Springs 20mm
H&R front and rear ARBS
Super Pro ALK
Revo Engine and gear box mounts
Handling was so much better especially after the ALK
Good thread and progress - loads to tinker with! Those rusty bolts in the engine bay would do my head in lol I replaced a lot of them in mine over the years of ownership
I too bought a S4 avant after my S3 8P - nice trend lol
Depends where you to and your budget but its a well tried out process with many companies carrying out remaps successfully
Personally speaking, I am Revo through and through, mainly because they are the best locally to me.
I had my 8P at stage 2+ for over 60k miles with no issues what so...
I had a full Miltek resonated exhaust on my S3 - I thought it sounded great even with the resonated section. I think if it was non-resonated it would be too boomy
If you have gone to the lengths of having the car remapped and stage 1 tuned then you may as well get the right exhaust - nothing...
Having a dyno run is not essential but I prefer getting them to see where the car has come from and what gains it has made - however, a dyno run is not a true reflection on the cars power, it will just show you an increase.
You can go to one dyno and get a result and go to another a few hours...
Its from my old S3 so its aluminium @ch1z64
I will get you the link

Lol not a hope
Only 2007 and very early 2008 mirrors will fit - the mirrors changed in 2008 to inlcude the indicator lights.
They changed again in 2010 when the A3 shared the mirrors with the A5
I have a passenger side S3 wing mirror from my old 2007 for sale if you are interested?
Since I got my 8V S3, progress on my wifes A3 has been slow but getting there
Managed to finally get my hands on a set of pedals after being scammed on here by a scumbag member - easily fitted, as usual the accelerator takes a bit of wiggling to release:
Makes a nice difference to the...
Aluminium style wrap as well, i have been quoted £80 for the pair to be wrapped but ideally I would like OEM
What year is your car? The style of wing mirrors changed over the years
2007 - 2008: no indicator slot
2008 - 2009 and 2010-2013: the ends are different - as far as I know, in 2010...
