    Beginnings of an oil leak

    Damn. Seriously? Well at least it's good to know that it's covered under warranty. I suppose I'll take it in and let them do at least once so I can take advantage of my quickly vanishing drive train warranty. Thanks

    Beginnings of an oil leak

    That would be covered under the warranty, right? I like to get my hands dirty but if it's a covered item........

    Beginnings of an oil leak

    There was a drop of oil clinging to the bottom section before I wiped it off. edit-Oh yeah, I clean that part every time I change my oil (every 2 months) and the oil is back. Everything else around that area is clean. Could it be grease working it's way out of the pulley?????

    Beginnings of an oil leak

    I have an '08 MS3 with 42k miles that is beginning to seep oil around the bottom of the engine. It hasn't been enough to drip oil on the plastic under tray but it seem to be getting worse so it's just a matter of time. I change the oil myself every 4k miles with PP 5-30. I use a funnel when...

    What car did you have at 16?

    1976 Audi 100 LS. British Racing Green. I named it "The Anti-Christ" because it was electrically possessed. It was a blast to drive when it was running. edit-Oh yeah. It almost caught fire once while going down the road because a hefty friend was in the back seat and caused the metal seat...

    What have you done to your MS3 today?

    I pulled the side moldings off today. I was a bit apprehensive but it looks SO much better without them. Should have done it sooner.

    Brake Pad replacement How To?

    Pretty soon it's gonna be time for me to replace my front pads. I have an 08 MS3 w/20k on it. I'll probably go with Hawk HPS. I know that some of you have already done this procedure but I was curious as to why there isn't a How To on this yet. I have the service manual but those little black...

    Stock MS3 dampers

    Thanks man. Do you think it's even worth it? I mean are they much different from the 3 struts 'cause they seem to suck. I'm replacing mine and my buddy wants them but I don't want to help him put them on if it's not gonna make a difference. I told him just to man up and get some Koni's but he's...

    Lucas upper cylinder lubricant?

    I have found that it helps counteract the crappy E10 gas that is sold in my area. If I have access to 100% pure 93 then I can't really tell an appreciable difference. But it's still nice to know that it's in there... silently lubing my cylinder walls.

    Lucas upper cylinder lubricant?

    It's good stuff. I've been using it over the past 8k miles or so and I can really tell a difference in fuel economy and decreased "hesitation" that we're prone to have. Makes mine run smoother too. Kind of like the first 500 mi. after an oil change except all the time provided you use it at...
