Just looking for some info/help on this subject. How easy is it to remove the passenger side bucket seat and replace it with a "standard" A3/S3 front seat? Is it just a case of removing a few bolts and disconnecting the electrical plug on the underside or is there more to it? Thanks all.

Hi, I'm considering getting rid of the S3 and going for a new S4, but I've been reading some posts over on one of the A5/S5 forums regarding poor MPG on the 3.0 V6 engine......as poor as 9 miles to the gallon!!!! I'm just wondering what real life MPGs any of you S4 owners are getting at...

Hi again guys, I'm just wondering who the new car buyers are using these days for the best discounts. I've tried the usual suspects online like Drive The Deal, Broker4cars and UKcarbroker and I'll also be contacting a couple of the dealers that I have used previously (Perth and Leicester)...

Ok, this thread may be a little early, but it looks like I'll be purchasing an S3 Sportback for November delivery. I'm wondering how much my current 3 door would attract as a private sale. You can see the spec below in my signature. The car has just over 11k miles on the clock at the moment...

Hi guys, Just wondering if any of you have had any problems with the paint on your S3 mirrors. I just washed the car (58 plate) with Jeffs Auto Body Wash and just as I was drying her off I noticed that the drivers side mirror has a load of small blisters on the top. I'm well ****** off :(...

Well guys, After a long wait of just over 3 months the S3 finally arrived today. First S3 and first blue car. So glad we went for Sprint Blue! The amount of comments we have had from neighbours about how beautiful it looks is unbelievable! We chose to have the car delivered by Perth...

Guys, Just received confirmation that the S3 is awaiting shipping. Should have it in 2 to 3 weeks. Man, the wait is killing me!!

Guys, What are your opinions on getting the Scotchguard external protection for paintwork? Ros

Guys, Just to let you know the printed brochure dropped through my door today. Still has the wrong dimensions shown for the S3. Surprise, surprise!

I notice Kontraband has posted pics of a PURPLE! facelift S3 in the S3 pics thread. Anyone else seen one in the flesh yet?? Any more pics Kontra?? Especially face on or directly from behind.

S3 now up to configure guys. Must be a record for Audi UK! EDIT: Although I see that they have managed to get their prices not matching with the PDF brochure........Surprise, surprise!!

Guys, just a quick one as I'm on my way out to work. The fiancee just read in the newspaper that a hail storm in Germany has caused damage to THOUSANDS of VAG cars awaiting shipping and this could cause "weeks or months" of delays for people waiting on cars!!! No doubt we will learn more...

Just having put my order in for the S3, I am considering GAP Insurance. Having had a quick read, I am going for Return To Invoice GAP. The dealer just quoted me £399, but I had a look at this site and can get 3 year cover for £213 www.click4gap.co.uk Has anyone used them or can...

Hi Guys, Just thought I would let you all know I have taken the plunge and ordered a new S3 today :) Here's the spec: Sprint Blue (thought of Ibis but bottled out of it, Fiancee wanted Phantom Black) Bucket Seats Folding Mirrors BOSE Bluetooth Phone Prep Acoustic Rear Parking System...

Guys, If I spec the bluetooth connection, do I have to get the cradle fitted or is this just a point for charging?

I have seen a few negative comments about the Ipod connection. Is it really that bad? I have a Phatbox in my A3 at the moment and love it, but it's now discontinued and I don't think you can hook it up to the new stereos (correct me if I'm wrong). I am just about to order a new S3 and...

Guys, I am looking at getting a new facelift S3 and was just looking for some opinions on getting the windows tinted. Should I go for the manufacturer tints or do them after market? Cheers!

As per the title guys. What's lower?

I have just been quoted by Glasgow Audi for the 1st service on my A3 (£295). They also suggested that the brake fluid should be changed at this point. The car is 18 months old and has done about 14k miles. Is it normal practise to change the brake fluid at this point or is the dealer just out...
