im thick as sh!t when it comes to puting up links but if you go on gumtree and put in aberdeen cars audi s3 theres only 5 of them there, just the price for what you get doesnt seem right compared to some of them ive been looking at.

Post by: F17BAD on 26 June 2013, 11:46: APY code is 210 and early ones not as good turbo or engine

Facelift is 210 or 225 and has either AMK of BAM code

Both exactly same engine but he AMK ECU is down tuned to 210 BHP however it will map to the same as what a BAM ECU would
