Not sure about digijets, but in most modern injection vehicles the ECU adjusts the idle for this

it shouldn't.....T3s have an idle stabilisation unit, doing what you say modern cars ECU does

maybe your idle stabilisation unit is kaput?

it's only function is to stop what you're experiencing...and all works fine without it.

in my experience...when they break..the car stops and won't restart until it is removed from the ignition system, so you're lucky

this'd get you noticed

and some adapters?

A3 wheels, AFAIK, are 5x100..your T3 hubs are 5X112

don't buy them, is my advice

read this for longer bolts story :D http://archive.club8090.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=15660&highlight= as for whether they'd work otherwise, are the bolt holes for m12, or m14 bolts? if m12, then guess what? m14 bolts won't fit, so they'll need drilling. also there's the size of the grease cap &...

£3.50 a week is cheap, compared with the benefits of a T3

they fit straight on to the hubs using standard bolts they may/may not fit, but i would NOT trust them to be secure using the standard bolts. this is because for a given strength requirement, aluminium needs to be around 3 times the thickness of steel. the standard bolts are designed for thin, stee...
