Looking to buy a S3, 2014 onwards. Had a 18T Sport for many years ,now want something more fun. While looking online for info etc I found mention of the 2.0 TSFI having major probs with oil consumption. Is this still a issue? I read a review from a US motoring mag from only 2 yrs ago who said...

When i said i have no access to water i meant that a can not us hosepipe/jetwash etc.I can get buckets etc but not outside my door. Anything will improve the look of the car and i was hoping i could just go and buy 2/3 products from halfords etc and away i go. I have no idea what i need to do a...

I know there are lots of threads on how to detail but i need the basic version for a quick once over now and then. I am not able to clean the car at the front door ,have no water or power.So i have always gone to car washes. The car is 2003 and seen a few keys! hence i do not worry much. The car...

Sorry to jump in here. I have a 18T 163bhp.Does this put any stress on the engine etc? I know the later 18T had more power,is this from a remap or more involved mods? I would like to go for a remap and more power but do not want to cause any reliabilty/stress to the motor. Sorry if this is a a...

Just had to get some new wipers for my 03 18T Sport. I had a quick look here and it seems that the "clip" on the blade is easy to break.And i do not want to do that! Asked the guy in parts for any tips and was told "too many versions to comment on". When liftting the clip/tab do i raise it...

I need to replace a damaged wiper blade. Is it a matter of going to Halfords for 21" blades? Or is it best to go to Audi for the exact fitment?

I have been having probs with flat battery.After no luck with Audi dealer i looked here for help. I was getting a horrible smell from A/C and problems with folding mirrors also. To cut a long story short i was pointed to the convenience module.Went back Audi who then said this was a known prob...

Sorry for the delay with the update but thanks to the help and advice from you guys the car is cured! (fingers crossed). When the car last went back to main dealer the addressed the drain hole problem.The module area and carpet were wet which they dried out,somewhat.I was told the terminals...

Is ther a Audi help line or Customer help line to contact rather than the main dealer. They seem to think there is nothing wrong with the car.

Just for a update if anyone is interested.The car went back to Audi Saturday,just picked it up,thurs morning. They cleaned the drainage holes to release the water around battery,the something "chamber" i was told. Did more draintests all ok. Looked at conveince module which was "damp" in that...

I went to the Audi main dealer to tell them quick-fit replaced the battery and that the battery area had loads of water polling there AND that i did a seach on line and found the module wet problem. They then told me this is a common problem!!!!I have had 2 visits to them and 2 drain tests...

Sorry for the delay in reply. That makes sense.i had the battery replaced sunday at quick-fit,their hand held machine said the battery was faulty for some reason.The fitter called me out to show me there was lots of water in the battery tray area.But i have not noticed any wet in the footwell...

I am in SE London.I have tried to find a good indi with no luck. Can you tell me what the convience module is and where. You mention it gets wet,you saying that when i jumpped the car today there was loads of water in the battery area where the batt sits.looks like the water is not draining...

I have recently noticed a unpleasent smell when i use the heater. I did notice that the A/C was not as cold this year.Would the 2 be connected? It is not a burning or electrical smell,it just smells like manure,crap really! Any ideas?
