    2.0T ECU S/W update recall

    Just got the papers that I need to take my S3 in for a 24H8 action. Now I at least know what it's about. Got me pretty concerned for a while.

    Problem filling tank

    Same problem here. My car is new so I've only filled it up 4 times, but at 4 different stations. Three of them posed the problem. I will try different angles as suggested above.

    Latest Concert/Symphony II + MP3 CD players

    I think I found it. It seems like only the Symphony with integrated disc changer has the mp3 compatibility, while if you have the sat nav system with external cd changer you don't have the mp3 compatibility for the changer. Can anyone confirm?

    Latest Concert/Symphony II + MP3 CD players

    As a related follow-up. My CD-changer doesn't seem to play MP3's, but the head-unit does. Do some models don't have the mp3 functionality? I have the Symphony, placed in an -07 S3.

    JL Audio VR650CSi

    I am about to upgrade the speakers in my S3 (8P) which currently has the non-Bose system. I've been adviced by the dealer to go with a pair of JL Audio VR650CSi to also leave room for future sub upgrade. Does anyone have experience with these speakers? Afetr reading about them, they seem very...

    Can I justify 30k on an S3?

    For me it was a little bit of a coinsidence. I was going for the S5, and was extremely close to order one. Ever since I saw the first A5 I was hooked on the looks. After much hard thinking I came to the conclusion that the S5 really wasn't worth it, judging the very little driving I do (10 miles...

    Engine Noise

    Occasionally I get the same feeling about my S3 sounding like a diesel. I totally forget it in higher revs, then I think it sounds really nice. The "diesel" noice seems to be more apparent when either standing still or driving slow.

    Needle Sweep feature on MY07 S3s...

    Is there any visual difference between 07 and 08 cluster? Or any other difference for that matter? Is the needle sweep the only thing added to my08?

    Missing cruise control on S3

    Yes, you are right. At least now I know that it isn't standard equipment in all countries, which answers one of my initial questions. The Swedish Audi S3 program manager confirmed that my car should have come with cruise control (apparently it's always been standard here). Thanks everybody for...

    Missing cruise control on S3

    It's not listed separately, but on the other hand, considering it should be standard equipment in Sweden, it might fall under this? "X1D = national sales program Sweden"

    Missing cruise control on S3

    Thanks. I should have pointed out that this regards the Nordic market. I just had a look at the UK specs and it's not standard there. It is listed as standard equipment for the Nordic market though (Sweden). This kind of changes my question :-) Since cruise control is listed as standard...

    Missing cruise control on S3

    I just got myself a new S3. It is manufactured in November 2006, but has only acted as a demo car (no testing, just for show room). One thing that confuses me a bit is that it doesn't have any cruise control, considering it being standard equipment on the S3. The dealer doesn't know why, and...
