    S3 Hatchback/Sportback Rear Springs

    Thanks Marshy, I've bitten the bullet and gone for a new one due to needing the car asap. However it would be interesting to see if they are the same, if you could let me know next time you've been under the car that would be great, I have 3 purple dots. Nice S3 btw, would love to treat mine...

    S3 Hatchback/Sportback Rear Springs

    Thanks for the replies guys. Muzza80, that was my concern, I couldn't find any evidence online that said the 2 are different so I thought I may have been lucky, but best to be safe rather than sorry. Marshy, thats a good idea, I will see if the seller can do that for me.

    S3 Hatchback/Sportback Rear Springs

    Hi Folks, I've had a rear spring pop on my 2010 3dr S3 . I'm needing a quick fix and have access to a 2010 5dr S3's rear spring. Apologies if this has been asked before or is a daft question ... will the rear spring from the 5dr be compatible with my 3dr? Cheers Jack

    Out with the old and in with the new.

    Picked up my new (2nd hand) S3 from Edinburgh Audi today which is replacing my A3. Chuffed to bits with it. Can't recommend Ross (my sales man) enough! Old: New:

    Personal plates opinions:

    Personally I like them, a bit of individuality I think. Its something you can spend a lot of money on but at the same time you can find a cheaper one that looks the part. Nice plate though, matches nicely.

    How To: Door Card Removal

    I've just replaced my drivers door arm rest for the same reason. A new arm rest was round about £70 from T.P.S. so went to the local scrap yard and picked up a door card for £25 and just swapped the arm rests. It's done the job.

    Garages in and around Aberdeen

    Hey All Looking for a bit of local knowledge here. I've been staying in Aberdeen for a few years and have only ever used Aberdeen Audi for servicing. My 04 A3 now appears to need new rear pads and disc and possibly a new caliper as it has been binding a bit and was stated that it was binding...

He had a quick look and said that this was "Zinc inclusion" and is only covered under paint warranty not corrosion warranty therefore this would not be covered. Seems to be there favourite excuse here! Im...
