Hi Guys, Was wondering if anyone on here has a remapped 300 bhp S3 in the North West (preferrably near Preston)? Wanted to see what the car was like and maybe get a ride in it as a passenger. I sold my A3 TDI last year and got a golf R32. Its a great car but it feels like it needs a bit...

Hi guys, was reading a little article in EVO this month about tuned hot hatches. They had an 8P S3 at 400 bhp, a Mk5 GTI at 407 bhp, a astra VXR at 420 bhp and a Focus STI at about 330 bhp. They were testing in the wet / icy months but the S3 did well, it managed 0-60 in 4.3 secs and 0-100...

Hi all, this is for the S3 owners out here. How do you find it day to day, any particular problems with the car??? (eg brakes/suspension). What is the mpg like in it?? How have you found performance compared to other cars you may have come up against on the road (eg. M3/RS4/imprezza...

Hi, I've had the A3 for a few yrs but sold it now. Got an R32 which is going great. Fancy an RS4 in a couple of years, looking at the Audi website was surprised how cheap they are now, 2 yr old example with 15,000 miles on the clock is only £37,000! Private its even cheaper, more like...

Hi guys, Decided to sell my A3 alloys that came with the car. They only did about 10,000 miles tops and are in perfect order. Stuck the aftermarket rims on after this and stored the originals. Asking £300 for them but nobody seems interested. Is this too much??? The wheels are in perfect...

Here is the link... http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/UNFAIR-VED/ This is what its about.. Announced in the budget on 12/3/08 were increases in Vehicle Excise Duty (road tax). These announcements made scant reference to the fact that they were RETROSPECTIVE and affect all cars dating back to...

Hi guys, can you get LW radio channels if you have the RNS-E Audi sat nav fitted?? I assume it will be the same for all RNS-E models across the range i.e. A3,A4,A6,A8,TT? Cooky

Hi guys, I've got a 2.0 tdi A3. its a nice car, does the job well, but it aint fun to drive. Its just an A to B car, a great one, but I dont enjoy it. I used to have a Cooper S and that was great fun. Dont want to go back there tho. I've always like the Mk4 R32. Nearly got one in 2006...

Hi Guys, just curious... what has been your most enjoyable car to own/drive. Is it your current A3 or a previous beauty. I do miss my mini cooper S. It had some custom Hamman Alloys and tints and custom Stereo. Am now driving a 2.0 TDI which is a great car, much more practical and...

Hi Guys, I've got a 2005 A3 3 door. Its got a Rieger Front bumper on which is pretty low and scrapes on speed humps and lots of sh!t, is starting to bug me. Would a new S3 front bumper fit straight on my car?? If so, where is the best place to get one from for a good price? If it...

Hi everyone, can anyone tell me what coolant I need to buy to fill up the reservoir? The light came on about a week ago and is on everytime I start the car. On inspection in the engone bay it is near the minimum level. Do i simply buy some replacement coolant solution and top it up? It had...

As some of you may have read on here, I had my 2005 2.0 TDI (140) serviced last week. Well, on Sunday gone I was driving it up a very slight hill and the engine just stopped pulling after 2500 rpm in any gear. Managed to get it home and called the local audi dealership who said call back...

Ok, got the powerflow tips fitted today, welded over the existing tips which had to be cut back a bit to get rid of the downturned part so they would be straight. Retained my backbox so this is essentially a cosmetic change, the functionality of the exhaust system is unchanged which is what I...

Hi guys, tomorrow i'm getting some powerflow twin tailpipes fitted to my car (A3 2005 2.0 TDI sport). I dropped Eeef a message and he said he had the same done to his, but they retained the backbox and he basically just had the twin pipes welded onto his existing backbox. Here is my...

Hi people, I have the 2.0 tdi, still running at 140bhp Went for a spin in a friends Golf Mk4 130tdi tuned upto about 180 bhp. Wow is all I can say. I wasnt expecting it to pull like that at all! It really goes in 2nd gear, he reckons its timed 0-60 is about 7.5 secs. I need to pull my thumb...
