Had a search and couldn't find the answer but guessing this has been asked. My sister just picked up her new 8V A3 S Line which has a cd player with SD card slots in glove box, fin aerial and rear parking sensors. To get sat nav and the rear parking display is it just a VCDS + Audi maps on SD...

Hi guys. Got a 2009 S3 sportback with 50k and the car didn't start yesterday. Have a battery charger which is indicating the battery is not holding charge. Manage to get it started after leaving it plugged in for a while but rely on my car a lot. Gonna pop down to ECP later. Any recommendations...

I'm sure I have oem discs and pads and my brakes squeaky at slow speeds when it's damp or raining. Does anyone know how to cure this? I've just had my car MOT'd and brakes have loads of life left so don't want to replace them in case it doesn't solve the problem. Any ideas?

I've been driving in manual recently to get used to it and there is a noticeable lag when using the steering paddles that isn't there when using the gearstick. Has anyone else noticed that on theirs?

Hi Guys, Am I correct in assuming that my 2009 S3 SB will let me know when the brake pads are worn? I don't want to change them until I have to but will keep more of an eye on them if not all S3's have this feature. Thanks

Hi guys Just a query. Why is it when in D, sometimes when I use a paddle to downshift for overtaking it goes to M but back to D within a few seconds. However other times it stays in M and I have to move the gearstick into M then into D to get it back into automatic? Could it be speed related?

What I love about the 8V S3 are the 2 sets of exhausts - I think it balances the rear off likely. Purely for aesthetically purposes. Was wondering if anyone has had this custom made on their car? Is it doable or are there things in the way on that side of the car? Guessing some of the lower...

Hi guys, My approved used S3 is now out of warranty and Audi can offer me 1 year comprehensive cover for £400 (+£250 excess). I have remapped my car but other than that it is standard. Does anyone know whether Audi warranty would cover me or whether they are likely to blame any issues on the...

Hi guys, Looking to replace the discs and pads on my S3 and ideally want something with minimal brake dust and the OEM feel is fine for my style of driving. I can get a full set of Pagid discs and pads for £100 but this seems cheap. Just wondering what people's thoughts were? I was initially...

...when the alarm is activated? I have an in car camera and would be good to illuminate someone who may fancy breaking in. Not sure if this is happens when coming home lights are activated? Thanks

Just a thought - is auto stop start something that could be activated with vagcom and a heavy duty battery and interior switches? Or is it something big that would cost so much it's cheaper to keep burning fuel in traffic? I ask because my friend has just bought an A5 with a DSG gearbox and he...

Hi I'm considering getting my rear windows tinted to look as though I had the privacy glass option. Does anyone know what % tint privacy glass from Audi is? Thanks

Hi Guys, My S3 Sportback brake discs need replacing as look corroded. I've not increased the power of the car and was not sure what you guys recommend? The discs are visible through my wheels so would be nice to have brakes that do not go orange all the time (like they do at the moment) and...

Thanks to Jonny at JMB Retrofits, got them professionally installed for a fantastic price. This is what I originally paid Audi £300 for! Stood out quite a bit from the bumper Someone went into my bumper when we last had some snow so had it replaced and did not get these sensors reinstalled...

Hi, Have had my S3 Sportback since July 2012 and it's started squeaking from rear passenger side when going over bumps (which is every road in Leeds). Not sure why. Recently I had my rear bumper replaced after someone hit me so not sure if the garage did something or if it is a coincidence...

Made a journey from Leeds (via Birmingham) to Poole to see Tim and James at Advanced In Car and get some goodies for my car. Camera is superb - hidden behind the middle visor and can't be seen from outside. Have checked the footage and looks good. The active door reflectors are awesome...

Just moved into a new house and was wondering whether I could fit a host pipe to the mains stopcock that is in the garage? I'm not sure but seems ideal for using with my Karcher on the car. Thanks

Hi guys, My newly purchased Dec 2009 S3 Sportback is coming up to 38k miles and am a bit confused about servicing e.g. Inspection / Fixed etc. As I bought Audi Approved, I will need to get Audi to service it so know it will be expensive but I need to retain the 1 year warranty. From...

Hi I wanted to dash mount my iphone but have it connected to the dock I have in the glovebox so it charges, I can hear my music and can hear sat nav through speakers. I bought an iPod extension cable from eBay thinking it would work. Something like this: iPod iPhone Extension Cable 18"...
