I just called a highly respected independent, and they're coincidentally the first ones out of maybe 5 different garages I have spoken to that have mentioned a Haldex service. I was just coming back to this thread to ask anyone if that's something my car would need??? (27k miles 2017 S3...

Thanks everybody for the advice. I was presuming the same thing myself about going indy, just having recently moved to the area I'm not sure where the best/nearest garage I can trust would be so essentially if I went with main dealer would be paying for the convenience. Best get searching!

Hi everyone, long time since I've posted on here! Hope you're all doing well in these crazy times. My 2017 S3 is due for its first MOT, and also because it is now 3 years old, due for a brake fluid change. I called a couple of places to double check if that is all that is required, and I've...

All sorted! Saw the Adrian Flux information on here and gave them a call, thankfully they're able to sort me out. Was going to delete this thread, as it is just me talking to myself, but if someone searches "storage insurance" in future maybe this will help.

Hello, happy new year to you all!! I'll be storing my car whilst I'm out of the country for a while, and the place it will be stored requires me to have my own liability insurance (on top of all the cover that they are providing). My current policy have told me they absolutely will not insure...

Yeah it works well! Much better than the foam at things like bug removal and that side of grime removal, but I still used foam after the APC anyway so can't give a true comparison of APC as a foam replacement. Generally settled for around a 1:4 or 5 ratio similar to the foam. Have used on the...

1 year old and around 12k miles when it had the oil change. Obviously with it being an expensive piece of kit I'm "happy" to have it checked over if they say it is necessary to make sure all is in good order, I was just a bit annoyed that no one wanted to tell me what was really involved and...

So at about 18k miles a message appeared on the dash of my car saying "Inspection due in 1,000 miles". Phoned my local audi to ask what this was for and they were very vague. Rang back again today because after looking at these forums in some older threads a few people pointed out that since...

-Saloon -Personally I prefer Ara Blue without black edition (may be a little biased there ;)) but the white or grey with BE would look great. -I have the matrix LEDs and they're pretty amazing. If you're trying to save cash though there might be better options instead but they're seriously...

Average tank for me is probably somewhere around 280/300. A few weeks ago I did a round trip of about 340 miles and averaged over 43mpg for that, and that specific tank did 430 miles. I felt dirty and will try to never see figures like that again!!

Thanks! I plan on leaving it dirty another week or so and giving her a little extra (safely of course) and see if anything builds up. I use autosol to get mine gleaming, hate seeing her dirty but given the amount of leaves blowing around I can't bring myself to spend hours cleaning when I know...

Suppose actual pics of mine might help, even though it doesn't come out as clearly in a photo you should get the idea. The side which concerns me..... Other side for comparison.....

So, I have read somewhere on here (I think) that the secretion of soot from the exhausts depends on the drive mode and the rev range. Using the above picture, from left to right I'll call the tips 1,2,3 and 4. 1 and 2 passenger side, 3 and 4 driver side. As far as I'm aware, 2 and 3 are the...

How dare you!! :box:

Evening all! I just bought some of the gtechniq citrus APC and was wondering if anyone knows what is a decent dilution ratio when using as a pre-cleaner. The bottle says use neat for heavy soiling and 1:100 for light soiling, but that's quite the difference in concentration!! I'll be applying...

Just about run out of my other APC so time to stock up!

Spotted ........ some guy in a Focus RS/ST trying to lure me into a race by constantly letting me know he had a dump valve and hissing alongside me every second for half a mile. Better luck next time, find some other fool to race you! :sign rice: Also a very nice white s3 hatch through...

Definitely blue for me! First choice would have been sepang, ended up with Ara. On reflection my choice seemed inevitable, the other week I opened my wardrobe and for the first time realised 80% of my clothes are blue.

haha too true! I have to come off the 63 at Humber Bridge on the way back from work and if you hit it at the wrong time it's not fun! Thanks so much for the recommendations, I'll definitely give them a call if whoever the insurance doesn't seem optimistic of a decent fix. Fortunately (or...

Cheers for the input guys, I'm going to make sure the insurance chaps know that it will be scrutinised to hell and if they can't seem to do the job I want I'll tell them to sling it. I might do some research on local places that might be able to refurb and get their advice hopefully before...
