    Buying a Used S3: Checklist

    Nice one Routledge, I'm sure a lot of this stuff will be useful for prospective a3 buyers as well :)

    Pre-facelift S3 stereo upgrade options?

    If you want to use it with your iPod I recommend the Alpine IDA-X305. Works brilliantly, lots of EQ options and while it may be a little bling, you can switch the illumination to red so that it fits in with the rest of the lighting in the car. Works for me anywho! :)

    Door card/window problem

    Just double/triple check that nothing is blocking the door card and stopping it from being seated properly. I had to give mine a good whack to make sure it was located properly. The individual components are weak but as a whole it should take a good thump with your palm and be ok!

    Wheels best suited to 8l's?

    I like the Porsche style alloys Jo Jo has. Some of my favourites I think, I tried finding a set but came up blank! :(

    Wheels best suited to 8l's?

    Mmmmmmmmm. Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2s!!! Delicious alloy flavour! I had a set of 18" RS6 reps... so heavy. Nasty unsprung weight!

    Would I be right to assume that 18" wheels of a a3 would go straight onto a 2001 s3??

    Someone has been spending too much time on Call of Duty haha :P

    Would I be right to assume that 18" wheels of a a3 would go straight onto a 2001 s3??

    If they come off a 56 plate they will most likely be 5x112 and will need adaptors to fit! I think you can get them from DPM but they're kinda pricey if I remember correctly. I had a blowout and where the wheel struck the floor it blew a chunk out!!!

    Hahaha! Showoff! Is your engine finished now Tuffty or will you be posting a similar picture in the not so far future with an even smaller number?!

    annoying 0-60 problem!

    Hehe, was not saying it was the fastest way, just that it's possible :)

    annoying 0-60 problem!

    I think all 5 gear a3's will do 60 in second, it's the six speed box that needs 3rd for 60 as far as I know... Also, I think power and gear ratios are not linked so regardless of whether you have 100 or 400 bhp you will still have to change gear at the same speed. (Unless you have the rev...

    ESP & ABS light

    N249 is more to do with the DV/Boost as far as I'm aware, don't think that fault code is relevant to ABS but I could well be wrong!
