I know I'm resurrecting this but is this possible? I recently imported a 8p s3 from Japan for my wife only had to change kilometres to miles and fit a new head unit was very easy, but I'm now looking at importing a 8v rs3 for myself and that brings a few more issues as everything will be in Japanese will someone be able to recode the car or will it require new hardware? Any information would be much appreciated

Thank you Steve, it's seems a great place and loads of helpful stuff, Yes yellow is great she wanted orange or yellow and after 4 years (yes years) this one came up in auction and it's now finally on the drive just need DVLA to issue v5 so she can actually enjoy it

Hi everyone I'm new here and already had some great help from members, read loads of useful stuff, I've personally imported a 8p s3 in yellow for my wife from Japan it's not our first import I buy all our cars from Japan. I will try to add a couple of photos soon

My wife's new (to her) 8p s3 needs a new set of boots well doesn't need them but I always like to put a new set on whenever we get a car, I usually go for Michelin pilot sport 4's but it has arrived with Bridgestone s007a's what are people's thoughts or can anyone come up with other options? Thanks in advance, Sean-f

Thank you for all your help I have now found a replacement from a breakers had roughly same milage about 2000 different so I'm having that nailed on but and going to try to obtain a full set and have all 4 refurbished in Poland as my wife really wants to keep the car longterm

The audi price included the electronic control cap (8p0512133) at around £165 incl vat, parts in motion were shocks only and only available in a pair, I'm still searching and will keep you updated, Thanks for everyone's help

Thanks I have just reached out to Monroe and await their response, Tried ebay but no luck as yet lots come up when searching the part number but after further investigation they are not mostly they don't allow for the electronic control but I'm still searching I have been given a further 4 part numbers that are the exact same shocker that Audi fitted to other cars so I'm going to try to search them out too, I did speak to a breaker yesterday and he said he had broken over 500 8p s3 and only seen mad ride 3 or 4 times so must be quite a rear option to have ¿

Hi Garath, I've just checked parts in motion and they have a pair but £922:59 😮‍💨, I think if I can not find a alternative I'm going to have to go to Audi 🤮

Thank you Gareth, I've searched for motion and found motion control suspension they seem to be race applications and I can not find anywhere to search by reg, am I looking at the correct place? Thanks for your help and speedy response 👍

Hi all, my wife's S3 needs a rear shock part number 8j0513025f I've been told by Audi Iwe should also replace the electronic control cap (part number 8p0512133, the shock is £487:20 and the cap is £166:20 £650 for parts alone seems a little expensive do I gmhave any other options or am I stuck with these prices? Thanks in advance,
