Hi, I'm looking at getting some new alloys for my 2009 S3 , I can't seem to find what the wheel width and offset is on the ones on the car and would appreciate some advice on this. Also what are good quality alloys to buy? I am a girl so would need a layman's explanation……….

Experiencing power loss when flooring it, power comes in, then drops out then goes again. Any ideas what this might be? 09 S3

Just been quoted £500 inc VAT for 4 tyres Michelin fitted. Sound OK?

No, it's silver! But coincidence all the same!

Bought my 09 S3 a year ago, (10,000 miles ago) with 4 brand new toyo 225 40 ZR18 92Y tyres, and they need replacing. Want best rather than cheapest tyres and preferably some with more life in them! Recommendations? ATS have recommended Michelin over Toyo and Pyrelli, but more opinions needed.....

Had similar experience with an audi approved dealer - they are franchised, so they're not all bad....I looked at an S3 advertised with an audi approved dealer as having 35K on the clock, when we got there it had 63K! And it stunk of cigarettes (I mean stunk) and had been caned. Needless to say...

it is beginning to make some sense now, thanks for all your replies! Just been driving the Military Road in Northumberland....:)

Can anyone explain the difference between revo, shark and all the other software remaps?? There seems to be a massive difference in price, and the more I read the more I get confused!!!

thanks very much for all your comments, am weighing it all up.....!

Considering a remap on my S3 but would like to ask if anyone else has had it done and what they think re mpg/insurance/any problems etc. Comment gratefully received!
