Audi S3 8P Sprint Blue
« on: February 10, 2015, 12:00:24 pm »
Hi guys

I know its not strictly a MK5 but its the same platform  :happy2:

Here is my S3 8P that i picked up last week, I previously had a 2011 Polo GTI but the known issues with the 1.4TSI were making it very unreliable with it keeping fouling spark plugs and drinking oil so I decided to take a loss on it and traded it in.

The S3 is slightly high mileage on 106k but it comes with full Audi service history along with a recent cambelt change and haldex service both completed at Audi

Anyway the plans are Stage 2+ maps from r-tech and all the supporting mods, will be happening gradually as im meant to be saving for a holiday and start saving for a house deposit  :signLOL:

The pics are from the for sale ad

Stunning colour mate.

You might as well give up on that house now and just make sure you've got a half decent sleeping bag for the back seat haha

The guy selling it offered me top book value for my car on trade in so I had to have it.

Only mods done so far have been putting my Porsche Oil and Coolant Caps on but need to have a look at the oil one as it doesnt sit straight  :rolleye:

Anybody have access to TPS as Audi wanted £25 for the 3 bolts to fit the engine cover

The service will be delayed as where i normally get my spark plugs only had 2 in stock and theres a delay on my oil order

On a brighter note i picked up a Milltek Cat-Back for £200 so should be fitting that tomorrow  :driver:

Is your local TPS really funny about you not being trade?

Whenever I've needed stuff I've just walked in and ordered it, I've bought a few bit off them before including side skirts and service stuff.
