Took the car in for master tech to have a look at the rear end of the car.
On uneven road the rear is all over the place!
Hit any bumps or potholes and it seems to take a big sideways lunge.
Going in on 13th to possibly get the dampers changed?
Anyone else ever had this?

Well after 5 years of owning A3 8P's it's time for a change.
Traded our S3 in for a TTS this morning.
Time seemed right to part with the S3 although there was only 32k on it.
The deal with my wife was that she could get a TTS if I could get a Leon Cupra R so ended up with these.....
Will...
I thought I'd say hello. Trading in our 8P3 S3 tomorrow for a TTS.
Will be hovering about this section now trying to find information and helping with queries where I can.
Will post a quick picture tomorrow but nothing decent until I give it a full detail(which will be about 3 weeks away)...
Car is getting booked in for it's 5yr service in a couple of weeks.
Planning the following -
Timing Belt

Aux belt/s
Tensioner
Oil & filter
Brake fluid

Can anyone advise me if they think I have missed anything off the list?
30k on the clock, 58 plate...
Has anyone else come across this fault?
Apparently its very common and is £1000 in parts + labour to fix.
Mother-in-laws has just gone on her 08 170 TDi with 16000 on the clock.
Highland Audi are paying for the parts plus half he labour which isn't so bad I guess.
3.5 hr book time to replace so...
Hi guys. My S3 started making a strange rumbling noise the other day.
It sounds like the front, it is similar to a wheel bearing failure and happens between 40 & 60 mph.
It sounds worse on run down and is in any gear or neutral and happens with the clutch depressed or not.
Not really any...
Hi guys,
Having just retro-fitted RNS-E & cruise control to my 8P3 S3 I'm looking for someone to code it for me please.
I'm based in Nairn but I don't mind travelling a little of paying for someone to travel to me.
There are £ or beer sitting waiting for anyone that can help.
Many thanks...
OK so I fitted my RNS-E about an hour ago, plugged it in just to see what it was like and EVERYTHING works without coding?
Checked-
iPod - OK
Nav - OK
Bluetooth -OK
MFSW - OK
Bose - unsure yet.
Turns on/off with the ignition as it should.
Can anyone explain this?
Do you think the previous...
Has anyone built a set of 2-piece discs from Hi-Spec for their S3/TTS etc?

Boyd is a total gent too, lovely guy.
The dealer has told me there is no re-call for the above on my car.
I figured that being an early 58 plate (October) it would need done.
Warranty obviously runs out in October and don't want to find issues if I re-map in the future.
Can anyone clarify this?
Also, any other things I should ask...
Let the heated discussion begin!!
Well I was basically fed up with the crap thrown up off the roads up here in the north of Scotland and so decided to do something about it!
After searching and searching and not finding anything I decided to get some Subaru Impreza ones and cut them down to...
Having finally chopped my 2.0 TDi in for a 2.0T I can finally start modding.(I don't believe in modding a diesel).
Am I able to upgrade to the S3 set up all round or will I need to upgrade the master cylinder?
Planning re-map soon but want to do the brakes 1st.
Any help would be appreciated...
Has anyone had a re-con engine fitted to their S3?
Needing a new BAM engine as the oil feed pipe became dislodged, took a chunk out the crankshaft, bent a conrod and took a chunk out the cylinder head.
Obviously not a happy bunny!
Looking for somewhere reliable to source and possibly fit a...
