feck_on_a_stick Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Figured I'd pollute the thread with some more VAG scrap with an update on the mighty S3 I've driven the car maybe 6 or 7 times since the rolling road last December and about 7,000 total since I bought the car in December 2011 I bought new standard font plates off as I've heard more people getting pulled for 'Metro' style plates I'm a bit gutted as I've had this style of plate on my car since I first passed my test 20 years ago.The car had a bit of a small hesitation at idle when the engine was cold. I know the 1.8T coil packs have a design flaw in them which make them pretty unreliable so I bought some 2.0T TFSI coil packs and adapters from more modern VAg cars which cured the problem.Feels much nicer now Up until August I'd been running a full 2.5" decat but the MOT was due so I fitted a Magnaflow 200 Cell sports cat. I can't believe how its affected the fuel economy Stupid MOT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feck_on_a_stick Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 I also spent a couple of nights last month stuck in the garage buffin the S3 before taking it to the Belfast Audi tour as part of Audi-Sport members club. Its has one of the highest sales figures for Audi in the UK and was the first of a new style of design for Audi dealerships. We had a pretty decent nosy around, out the back, in the stores and through the workshops. I found it pretty interesting for a dealship, even if I couldn't afford a single thing in the place. I had to get the parts guy to jump start the car in the car park though, which I found out later was due to the battery terminal being a bit loose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feck_on_a_stick Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 I left the S3 down at my parents for a while so I could clean the old mans two cars. We had planned to take them up the coast to a classic car show.

feck_on_a_stick Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Last week I swapped the S3 for a friends mk2 Golf. He wanted it cleaned for a local car show down at the Titanic dry dock. Its a 1990 Golf GTI but there's a 1.9tdi engine underneath. This doesn't go down well with the purists, but it has been heavily modified and when it was last dyno'd it was putting out 230bhp, 350lb ft torque and still does 40-50mpg. He's now put in bigger injectors and a more efficient turbo and we left it down to a local tuners last night to get it mapped again. There's a Peloquin LSD underneath to try to keep it under control but it'll still spin the wheels in the dry in 1st and 2nd lol It's alot of fun surprising folks in bigger and more expensive machinery who don't expect to be overtaken by an old Golf. Fast as F*** Developments The S3 is back at the house but I've diagnosed a dodgy actuator New one ordered. Hope it's an easy fit ffs. After that I really don't know what to do with it. I'd love something different, but if I sell this there's not really much else out there that interests me around the same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For mapping reference mate, Bill & Paul @ Badger5 certianly know their stuff when it comes to your engine ! Thanks dude. I've actually a turbo intake pipe from Badger 5 on the car. He really does know how to get the best out of them as it's the best TIP around. He's a bit far for me to go though for mapping and spannering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
