RE: S3 in the snow?

So far, my New S3 seems/seemed more competent in the snow than my B5 S4. Probably because it has less weight, but it almost made me think it wernt slippery out, that could be a good or bad thing. Also felt the ABS was less willing to step in. I must admit, things have not been quite as bad where I l...

I disagree a little... my car is standard and I find I can easily get 27mpg cruising at 80mph, and that would include the odd urgent accelaration... Even better, and this proves how good french roads are... I can get 30mpg most of the time going to the house in France which is around 430miles... Whe...

RE: Is the turbo fairy about to call !!

I bought my car with 70k on the clock, when I bought it, if it had been sitting for a while and it was fairly cold it would give out a small blue puff of smoke. Now at 101k it still does it and I am on the same orginal turbos.... dont think you should worry... just dont boot it until you have oil te...

RE: Fitting my wheels.....

RE: VAGPARTS DELIVERY??

Yeah stuff they dont keep in stock, comes from Germany! I'm not supprised they dont do emails etc, just one look at the website is enough to tell you the IT side of the business is not their strong point! Could be really amazing if they sorted out their catalogue and online shop etc.... I think they...

The same website I link to above sells bolts... but you have to go hunting around for the correct size... and taper.... cos they only list the correct ones for a standard car...... If you look at the honda civic, there is a 60 degree 32mm bolt available for them.... but you better do the checking to...

I have the B6 S4 alloys on my car and you really need 5mm spacers all around... (I presume they are all 8inch) When you install new disc and pads you will find that 3mm will not be enough at the front... unless your car has the newest caliper design. (I think there are 3 different types) I would not...

if you took the exterior of the first and combined it with the interior of the second one it would look like a car that's been on MTV's Pimp my Ride Arabian Edition!
