Hi,
As a newcomer to the forum and only having the S3 for 8 months after reading numerous posts of the woe's of S3 ownership whats the best option to keep it runnig ok as mine is a 1999 model APY engine code . 66000 miles fsh.
1. How do i stop the engine from breaking the piston rings and distroying the engine? do i change the oil every 6 months or what or is the distruction inevitable or is it related to driving style,
2. Is it luck that determins the problems do i have the rings change now before they go or a full rebuild or what.
3. Do i get rid of it and get a later model then again i'm not keen on the face lift dash ,much prefere the black shiny effect.
4. Do i get rid and return to a old bullet prof 90q.
Any advice much appreciated.
All the best Merdock
