Today’s challenge was an Audi A3 that came in with a few issues. There was a terrible knock from the rear, the brake pad warning light was glaring on the dashboard, and to top it off, the gearbox was struggling to keep up with the power from a previous remap done elsewhere.
Diagnosing the Issues
At Coastal Motorsport in North Walsham, Norwich, we quickly got to work and identified the culprits behind these problems. The knock from the rear was due to a broken shock absorber, and the worn-out brake pads were causing the warning light to illuminate.
Fixing the Suspension and Brakes
Our skilled technicians promptly replaced the broken shock absorber and installed new brake pads. This not only resolved the knock and the warning light but also restored the car’s safety and handling.
Custom Gearbox Remap
The most significant challenge was the gearbox, which was struggling to handle the power from a previous remap. To address this, we applied our custom gearbox map specifically tailored for the Audi A3. This adjustment ensured that the gearbox could handle the increased power smoothly and efficiently.

The Transformation
After completing the repairs and the custom gearbox remap, the Audi A3 was transformed. The gearbox is now responding beautifully, handling the power exactly as it should. The car is not just back to its smooth self but is better than ever, thanks to a little Coastal Motorsport magic.
