    Wipers - mucked up positioning!! Help!

    I've had the same issues mate. Just clear all the ice and snow away from your screen, reposition the wiper with your hand and it should sort itself out - it did for me anyway!

    Cigarette lighter not working

    Check the fuses at the side of the dash, the cigarette lighter has its own fuse (I don't think it shares it with the stereo).

    Underwhelmed with Bluefin

    Give your ECU some time to learn again - about 100 miles or so. I have a Bluefin on my 2009 S3 and it was a little underwhelming at first but came alive after 100 miles...

    S3 Grill parts

    I had exactly the same issue on my 09 S3 Sportback. I bought those grill sticks from ebay but they don't fit a facelift grill. I have about 15 sticks left that you are welcome to if you want (pm me if you are interested). cheers

    S3 - speedo accuracy

    I went past one at 78mph and never heard a thing. I think 80's pushing it though :(

    S3 - speedo accuracy

    Thanks for the replies guys. AuldReekie - is yours a facelift S3? My TomTom is about 1mph less than what my speedo says, but then again this is an old TomTom Mobile from 2005!

    S3 - speedo accuracy

    Folks, what's the accuracy of the speedo on the S3 at 80mph on the clock - i.e. what's its true speed? I drove past a camera van today at bang on 80 - that might have been too quick if what it says on the speedo is completely true! thanks Jools

    S3 Steering Wheel - mode button

    I've got a standard Concert system in my S3 - when I press the 'Mode' button, the display shows 'NO FUNCTION'. Is this right - I would have thought you could alternate between radio and CD and possibly more? Is this a fault or is this the way it's meant to be? cheers!

    S3 Grille sticks missing

    yeah you guys are right. The problem is the dealers, they'll probably try and tell me I hit something on the road. However, there's no sign of any scratches or damage, so they didn't come out with force! I'll go with the point that they were either missing or they just fell out - therefore...

    S3 Grille sticks missing

    Hi, I'm new to these forums, just picked up my 2009 S3 Sportback during the first week of March. I've just realised that 3 of the chrome grille sticks are missing! One that's next to the S3 badge and two small ones above the numberplate. No idea how it's happened... makes me wonder if they...

    chipped-uk ST-3 group buy

    Does anyone know if the ST-3 resets the flash counter every time you remap it? I'm pretty sure the Revo and Bluefin boxes do?
