    Sold 2009 S3 Sportback S-Tronic 54k miles - Revo

    I'm just putting this note out, before I get a full as up and running (want to clean the car properly). I'm planning on selling my current steed as I fancy a change.

    Swearing at the puddle lights

    So trying to modernise the light output from the OEM halogen units for the four puddle lights on my S3. Solution, LED replacements. First attempt is replacement bulbs in OEM units. With the drivers door I managed to disconnect the bulb holder, but now I’m suffering at the mercy of a short loom...

    S4 S-Tronic 'Issue'

    So, I've posted on a couple of other places and a couple of people have pointed me here. I have a slightly more noticeable than normal 'jolt' going from D2 to D1 in full auto. It is less of an issue in manual. A friend scanned for faults and came up with the attached image. What I'm wondering...
