    How would i find out if my car is an import?

    Help, buckled wheel.

    It's a genuine audi wheel mate, 18" rotor type that's fitted as part of the black edition. Hopefully can be prepared because a replacement from audi would cost a fortune i would imagine.

    Anyone fitted the RS3 rear roof spoiler on a sportback S3? How much, what's it like to fit etc? Considering upgrading my rear spoiler as i find the RS3 version is more prominent. Cheers.

    Rear light problem

    I went direct to audi mate because it was still under its 3 year warranty. Worth a try though, failing that i don't think their too expensive for new cluster.

    Rear light problem

    Hi mate, i had this problem with my 2011 s3. Rang audi and they replaced rear cluster under warranty. Seems like quite a common problem which shouldn't happen with a premium brand car.

    Oil consumption on 2011 S3?

    Been doing some research as i'm knew to the audi scene and read that the 2.0 tfsi is prone to consuming oil. After reading this thought I should check mine and oil level half way between low and full. My S3 is on longlife service so had oil change a year ago so probably not too bad but my...

    Service interval query?

    Quick question, looking at my service book it sates that a service was done a year ago at 9.5k miles and currently on 14.5k. Checked DIS and it says another 8.9k miles until service, that would be almost 2yrs the mileage i do does this seem right? Car is on longlife service though. It's a 2011...
