Have a 2007 MS3, and need to replace the clutch. Any recommended mechanics in the ATL area? Also, any estimates on what it should cost to replace the clutch? Thanks

Hey guys - I am planning to remove one of the resonators on my 07 MS3. Any recommended places in NE GA for this? I'd like to give my $$ to a friend of this community if possible, instead of a random muffler shop, even though it is not a lot of $$. ** 2007 MS3, Cobb SRI, Forge BPV

I have an 07 MS3. The driver side window rolls down fine but I have to hit the switch non-stop for 5 mins for it to roll back up. It was bad during the Summer months and I thought it was the heat. But it is having issues even now. Read in a few places that the switch might need to be cleaned or...

Did an EGR replacement recently because of P0401. The original EGR's stepper motor had died. The replacement removed P0401 and everything was fine until I boosted hard last week. This was after one week of driving with the new EGR and no codes. And now I am seeing P2177 (STFT is -2 and LTFT is...

Has anyone used this with their '07-'09 MS3? What is the result? I am thinking of trying 5W-30 Ultra during the next change.

I think my MS3 is very unhappy with the air conditioner on in this insanely warm weather. So, I have been taking it easy on my driving style and shifting at lower rpms - around 3K. It almost feels like my car is getting bogged down when the temps cross 96 with the air conditioner turned on...

I am going to look through the manual to see what it says. But what are some of the recommended things to do when you hit 30K? Thanks

Hi, What maintenance have you guys done at 30K? I checked the manual but it didn't say much other than tighten nuts & bolts etc I saw a similar post a few weeks back about a recommended tranny flush at 30K. What do you guys think? Thanks

I feel as if the car doesn't put out much power as before. Yesterday I was revving at 3K on 4th and I hadn't even crossed 40mph. I shifted from 1st through every gear to 4th at 3K. The engine was still kinda cold though. Could that be the reason? I cleaned my SRI air filter a few months back...

Can anyone recommend good wiper blades that will last a while? Is this a good one? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000IYBJAS/?tag=m20b7-20 And I've heard it's not easy to replace these suckers. Any suggestions? Thanks

Of late, I've noticed that even after letting the car cool for 5 mins after a long drive, the fan stays on. This weekend I drove for 35 miles at 75mph and let it cool down for 6 mins but the fan still stayed on for a few minutes after I shut down. I don't think I've seen this before. Does...

do you let the prospective buyer test drive your car? What if the pros. buyer crashes the car during the test drive? Do you only allow them to test drive the car if they hand you some cash? How much cash should you ask for (assume the sale price is $15K)? What other precautions to take before...

So my mileage has dropped from mid 27s to 25s (city driving) for the last 4 months. I got an oil change done, cleaned the MAF sensor, checked tire pressure et al. But no improvement. Could my plugs be bad then? I have only 24K miles on the car. If so, would it be a good idea to change all 4...

Hello folks, I have an 07 MS3 with the stock MM. After reading the last few messages here, I am gravely concerned about not having an aftermarket MM. So what is a recommended aftermarket MM to buy and how do I go about installing it? I can search the forum for this. I'd like to hear what...

So its been really cold in GA the last few weeks and this car behaves much differently when it is cold. For one my mileage is down to 22-24 city driving Every time I go over a hump I can hear squeaks when the car is cold Shifting is painful with all the heavy clunking And I stay out of boost...
