Surely someone has a bit of advice?

"...stickies at the top of this section..." Sorry I'm probably being really dumb here, can you send me a link?

Hi, anyone know where I can get hold of a front badge (S3) for an Audi S3 (8L)? Thanks

Hi, I'm looking to give my black 2000 S3 a bit of a tidy up. I have some unsprayed wing mirrors (brushed aluminium ones were stolen a few years back) and there is a large 2 foot (fairly deep) scratch (probably keyed) along one of the doors. I also have a minor 1 inch) dent on the top of one of...

They're brushed aluminium. I had mine stolen and decided to fit standard ones as replacements as there's absolutely nothing stopping them getting stolen again. I was quoted £770 for brushed aluminium ones without fitment. Standard cost me £255 and I fitted them myself (an easy job as...

hi I followed JCB's very good instructions in order to replace my door mirrors. Only trouble was I found a torx screw holding the mirror to the car. It's a 12 point screw. Do I specifically need a 12 point drive or can I use a more standard 6 point hex drive? Presumably it should fit?? Cheers

Ok, I've just had 4 Goodyear Eagle F1s (17") fitted on my S3 at Bracknell Tyre and Battery. Cost was £352 all in. Grip and feel is excellent. Also very importantly, I hadn't appreciated the structure of the tyre but it has a slight lip to it. The result is that it is much harder to kerb your...

Oops, thankyou.

Wed morning S3JUS

Is it a UK spec or import? This might have a small effect (5%-10%) on the price. Still sounds like a good price though.

I have to say that the chrome mirrors are almost essential now. When I bought my black S3 they happened to have chrome mirrors. A friend of mine at roughly the same time got hold of an almost identical black S3 but without chrome mirrors. The difference it makes is astounding. Side by side...

Afternoon everyone. I have a problem with my Concert stereo (S3 2000 X-reg). The illuminations have completely gone off in the head unit. The stereo plays totally normally but I can't see what song or radio station is playing. No stereo lights work at all (on the small display or the...

Thanks for the information. Can you possibly convert those figures into percentages of the overall premium? £90 as an increase in premium is good but then if your standard insurance is only £200 then that represents nearly a 50% increase in premium. As I live in central London my insurance is...

I had hoped to REVO my S3 but what with the recent legal wranglings that are going on between REVO and APR I'm a little reluctant to without knowing the full SP. What I liked about REVO was the fact that the ECU was not opened and instead the program was administered via the serial port, and...

My warranty runs out this September and I was considering extending the warranty with someone like Warranty Direct (as Audi don't charge a reasonable amount IMO). The car's just coming up to 3 years old but it's only done 15k miles so I figured a further warranty might be sensible but I also...
