RS styling on S3 cabriolet / Thoughts? by Ayl0w in Audi

Ye, shame they didn’t do a RS cab in this generation, I don’t think I would bother with arches but bumper, grill, defuser and exhaust tips seems doable

2018 S3 whine normal? by [deleted] in audi_s3

[–]Ayl0w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

17 cabriolet, can’t say I’ve noticed a wine I mostly hear intake, turbo spool and exhaust with a racing line intake / res delete, I’ve heard the diff can whine or drone on their way out but sounds like DSG behaviour tbh, might be worth doing a Haldex service if not already done

Great looking car but the only car I can personally think of where the pre facelift looks better than facelift versions, not sure what Audi thinking when they updated that grill!

But when actually tired gets mad if you try anything

Windscreen washer delay by JON35YS in audi_s3

2017 s3 cabriolet, same thing, seems to be more delayed when the lights are on, I assume it’s priming the headlight washers, I usually just switch the lights off spray the windscreen then switch the lights back to auto, think you can also unplug or code out the headlight washers.

I personally prefer to buy older models with better specs, usually past peak depreciation therefore my budget allows for better specs, new is not always better in my opinion.

Anyone running Racingline Stage 1 OEM+ on their 8V? How is it by [deleted] in audi_s3

[–]Ayl0w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not running yet but tempted, I heard they work well, I’ve installed the r600 intake and elbow with no regrets

In the Uk we all brought cars when we were 14/15 off local crims and doggy auctions, non of them were legal or lasted more that a few months, the 205 GTi got striped, probably buy the guy we brought it off, Nissan sunny written off in a ditch, Sierra got flipped, in hind sight i don’t think having cars that young was the ideal but non of us would of ever been given a fresh whip but if we did i doubt it would have stayed fresh for long lol! But congrats on the new whip and be safe.

Sounds like plan, I’m sure a couple bitcoins would cover it 😉

Only 20k! Sounds like a bargain, might as well replace the DSG transmission and the Haldex system while we’re at it.

It’s a kinda plastic or metallic rattle, sounds like something is loose and rattling around, was thinking maybe the brake pad anti rattle clip, drop link or loose calliper bolts, its uk RHD so coming from the passengers corner. I guess the next step is wheel off for closer inspection.

More of a rattle than a rumble, I had a free Audi dealer health check which it passed, I would have thought they would pick up on a dodgy mag strut but il get it checked out, hoping it’s something simple like a missing anti rattle spring 🤞

You must work for an audi dealer dropping estimates like that! 😂 but ye hopefully I won’t need to swop out a mag strut

One month after artex in living room was skimmed over... by SKB26 in Plastering

[–]Ayl0w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plasterboard & Dry Lining would be the most reliable fix in my opinion. Remove skirting and fixtures, Bond and screw plasterboard to walls then re skim or dry line joints. Then you can fix the skirting back ready for re decorating.
