[Audi A3/S3] Still Problems

[Johnski]

This is sort of a continuation from a previous thread

Old thread

After 4 new tyres, a new anti roll bar, and basic 4 wheel alignment, my car still pulls to the left under normal driving conditions

Can anyone tell me what this is before i take a can of petrol to the thing

sticking caliper?

you could try going for a short drive, with minimal braking, and then seeing if the Left caliper/disc is hotter than the Right

past that im not really sure what to suggest.

Are you confident in the people who did the 4x4 alignment?

I only let AmD do mine, with the same kit Audi would use.

[Johnski]

Audi did the 4 wheel alignment (at least they say they did)

I dont think it was the alignment that checks for chamber etc?

I thought maybe it was a bend strut or maybe something else thats taken a knock?

[Paul]

All possibles.

I think 4 wheel alignment would normally set up the camber , toe etc.

You should have bought my S3 Johnski!

Hope you get it sorted though, that's a pain. I had the same problem early this week, mine was pulling left too - although mine turned out to be my front left tyre with 10psi in it......

lol, yes mate i know, got it all sorted now though, just going to recover from the financial damage for a few weeks and send it in for a service...

Has anyoen any idea when the spark plugs should be changed and how much they are each?

[Paul]

on avs every other service.

ie the larger of the two longlife services so heading upto 40K intervals.

However for the expense i would say its worth the peace of mind to do them every service. They are £38 + postage from vagparts for a box of 4.

This is what im doing now.

I have a brand new spare set here, if you want to give me £38 + postage i paid for them.

should be cheaper than Audi.
