Hi all, My local dealership has a black RS3 saloon that's been on the forecourt since release, must be 6 months ish now? Was specced to match the brochure Audi released announcing the saloon if anyone saw it, panther plack, alu styling pack, red calipers... I'm guessing people are scared off...

Good afternoon, Just read that AMG plan to add another hot hatch into their lineup. It will be a more affordable alternative to the A45, likely to rival the S3's, Golf R's, M140's etc. I'm guessing this is so that they can move forward with their pursuit of being king of the now hyper hatches...

Hi all, First of all, I saw on a clip of I think an RS3, that when the stick was knocked to the left and the guy was booting it, his Virtual Cockpit gave him a shift indicator on the rev counter, it went green then yellow around the 6/7k mark. Is there any way to get this on an S3? I know we...

I hate to bring the topic of tyres up, but... It wouldn't have crossed my mind at all, I've only put 4000 miles on the car after all, but since it's been getting cold, my god the P Zeros are horrid, I felt safer last winter in my front wheel drive A3 with some pretty knackered mixed tyres on (I...

Hi all, Would anybody be interested in buying an s3 standard alloy, minor curbing, I know I know... It is minor, I just bought a new one because I have issues lol, once I know it's been done I couldn't just get it refurbished! I'll get photos up tomorrow evening if I get any interest, if not I...

Hi all, I know this tends to happen anyway, but car has only done 1000 miles, and already like this. Reckon I should take it in or just accept it for what it is?

Hi all, I'm aware exhausts has been a fairly well covered topic, but has anyone here actually got a non resonated cat back system on their face lift S3? Particularly Milltek or Remus. I was hoping Akrapovic would do something for the S3 now seeing as they are providing a Golf R system...

Hi all, About three weeks into my S3 ownership now, and I've occasionally noticed a strange noise, like a whirring sort of noise. Lasts maybe two seconds then stops. I've not noticed any pattern, and maybe worth mentioning that is significantly easier to hear when windows are open. Am I right...

Hi all, So some may know, picked up my S3 a fortnight ago, and as I didn't buy from my local dealership I said to the salesman I would just head into my local one (where all be getting it serviced) in order to sort out service plans to which he agreed and said he would do the same. Now, I just...

Hi all, So after a lot of thought, one cancelled order, a change of car, then a delay due to broken bones, and then changed my mind again while waiting, I am picking up a new S3, it's just arrived at a dealership, and I am due for pickup in around 3 weeks, when I am out of plaster from the...

Hi all, Anyone know if there is a difference in A3 S Line and S3 ride height and stiffness. Assuming both cars are as they come, no 19's etc. Also, as a little add on, anyone have any experience with the 2.0 190ps TFSI, is it pokey enough to be fun when needed or nay? Seems a very expensive...

Hi all, Moved house, hurrah! Insurance quotes on S3 before = £1200-£1400 Insurance quotes on S3 after = wait for it... £6800!!!! WTF I know insurance is a joke, but this is taking the **** now. I've moved 6 miles down the road, funny as well, that before was in a very busy housing estate...

Evening all, Wondering, has anyone tried out Chemical guys range (hopefully all aspects, forgive me but I don't like to use bits and bobs from various brands, OCD ). Was on their website the other day and it looked really good! However, I used Autoglym, for everything, from wheel cleaner and...

Hi all, Just checked my build on my S3 and it's been done as Black Edition. I didn't spec this because I hate the alloys on it and didn't want to pay for mag ride and 19" alloys also. I also based my choice of Navarra blue on the fact I was getting chrome, I thought it looked best, if I had...

Hi all, As some may be aware I have placed an order and receive my S3 at the end of September. Now, on my current A3 1.6 TDI (13 plate, 54000 miles), I have the "Oil change and Inspection" come up, along with (currently) 400 miles. I believe this is a major service? Or am I wrong, I thought...

Hi everyone, New member here. I've just ordered a new S3 sportback with tech and comfort packs in Navarra blue. Currently driving an A3 S Line 1.6 TDI (pitiful I know). Do you think I should have got another A3 with the 2.0TFSI instead, is the S3 a little bit overkill? Ended up getting it...
