Well done for saving this S3. I'd recommend you looking at eBay for the catches. Any A3 8l ones should fit. 

Just a little before and after shot of today's work for you guys

Fantastic work! 

great work,keep us posted on the progress

Ok guys so iv had a little fiddle with the car today just looking at a few little problems.

1 fuse light on the dash and battery light is on (new battery) all fuses are fine and terminals are clean.

And I need a pcv pipe the one from the inlet manifold to the t joint if anyone has one pls let me know !!.

And next the radiator fans don't work at all.again any help or tips would be much appreciated thank you

Doing a great job so far.  Have a look to see if carpets are wet as Audi's of this era had a computer on the passenger floor called a CCM.  If it gets wet it can cause electrical gremlins 

That's all dry mate lol 

Hi Ian I’ve always used Audipartsdirect.Co.uk for any parts sure you can find them cheaper but they always have what I need
