Chaps, I’m looking at upgrading to a 19” wheel this summer and noticed the new S3 on Audi’s configurator now has a choice of a 19” ‘10 Y Spoke’ option, just like the A5 S-Line / S5. My question is, would A5 / S5 wheels fit on an S3 with a 33 offset? I tried using ‘willtheyfit.com’ and states...

Thanks Ju! Exactly the answer I was looking for. I’ll make sure to give York Audi a call. By the looks of my terms and conditions, it actually states ‘Audi centre’ or ‘approved Audi repairer’... Need to look further into this. Just for the record, I’m happy to take it to a main dealer. I’m...

Adam, thanks for your reply. By the sounds of it, an independent garage is totally out of the question as per my terms and conditions. I appreciate dealers are more expensive due to their labour costs etc, but I can’t see how Audi want to charge £286 when a VW main dealer (the company that owns...

Chaps, I have a 2018 (67) 8V S3 that is coming up for 12 months old and is due an oil change in less than 30 days. Two things. Firstly, I called for quotes at Bradford and Leeds Audi (evidently all my local Audi centres are under the Sytner brand) so all of their prices were the same.. The...

JDHOWELLS, was this a main dealer that did that for you?

Deanshaw, were they just painted / clear coat? I’m guessing the silver lips were just masked off with tape?

Very tempted by the black centres now! Unless someone can show me all black?

Wow! It really does make all the difference! Looks very RS3! Can I ask who did them and how much?

Chaps, I have an order in for an Ibis white S3 Sportback Black Edition hopefully being delivered next month.. My question is, has anyone had the ugly standard 18” 5 arm turbine wheels powder coated all black (not just the spokes)? I feel having a ‘black edition’ Audi should have a black...

Chaps, I have a deposit on a 2006 B7 RS4 cab. Black with 53k on the clock priced at £17995. Would that be a fair price to pay if its in good condition? Ive been educating myself on the common faults and down falls (DRC, vac lines, disk and pads, aux rads, carbon build up etc etc). Can...

Chaps, Just a quick thread for someone to answer me the following points.. If you had 20k to spend, would it go towards a B8 S4 or an E92 M3? Second question, is there anything I should know regarding the S4 before I start looking? Any common faults / reliablity issues? (I was told about...

autolatry, how did you get on at Huddersfield? I just spoke to Bradford Audi and awaiting a phonecall back from a master technician.. Not holding my breath! SJ

gixerson!!! EXACTLY what I was looking for!! Thank you very much sir!! SJ

The oil and filter alone cost me £56. It says haldex oil on the bottle so can only assume..

Chaps, does anyone posses a how to guide on changing the haldex oil and filter on a 2005 3.2 V6? Secondly the oil came in a tub (I was expecting it in a cylinder to put in a gun) does the whole 1L need to go in? And I'm guessing its side fed as opposed to the plug being on the bottom as the...
