Hello, hope all are well. Would it be possible if someone with an A3 Sportback could post some photos of their boot - underfloor. Looking at gettting a spare tyres and kit - just wanting to see what is underneath. I can't as I haven't bought the car yet. Cheers

I'm back - been 15 years ...good to be back

Hello, Just want to get rid of a pair of S3 Avus Alloys. Both have old Ultrac Vredstein tyres with 2/3mm left; however you will need to replace these as they have been on for over 5 years. Both Alloys have surface pock marks (where I dropped them face down on the tarmac doh) and very minor...

Well it has happened after 205,000 miles, 8 Years of Ownership and one expensive year to date. My S3 has now been sold in a part ex for a new car for the missus. I will post a bit more about the whole car and experience in due course once the sale has gone through. :crying:

Can someone tell me how to access the relay's under the steering wheel? On searching a lot of people say they have done this but there is no explantion of how?

Well it got there. Just clicked over the 200k in my 02 S3. Been an expensive start to the year to get it there (new clutch, flywheel, failed MOT, new pedal, new fuel pump, new tyres) and soon to cost another £600 fixing the main shaft. But apart from that life with the old girl has been good...

Saw this on the A2 forum so had a look, registered my car and printed off the voucher. As the car is 7 years old and 174k on the clock I thought it may fail on something. Took it into Newbury Audi this morning and they did a while you wait service. Had a couple of cups of coffee, watched TV...

Hello, my car is a 2002 Audi S3 with 174000 miles. Looking at getting £3000-4000 on a part ex that sound about right or is it too much?

Hello, My car is making a horrendous scrapping/grinding/clicking noise which I belive to be the rear wheel bearings. Been quoted £320 all in to get them replaced; this is based on 4 hours of work. I have been told by a couple of places that they are a b@stard to do as the ball joint needs to...

Just been out in j4jon's S3. He's got the DG Shortshift, B8/HR combo, HR ARB and Tie bars. First impressions was the 'snick snick' nature of the gears, very short but manageble. Had to get used to it after my long throw of a gearbox, but after a while i'm sure you could use it well; i would...

Woe is me. I love my car. Audi S3 2002 BAM engine. She has decided to start making a tapping/rattling sound above 70 mph. It sounds like something metallic is brushing against something that is rotating (i.e a playing card hitting a bicycle wheel sound). Through the gears it is fine at...

Morning, My car died on me last night. Drove home went to Tesco's all fine come back to the car, fire her up and she is revving like crazy from 1-2.5k sporadically. So I switch off, wait, and switch back she is doing the same, hmm great. So I drive off and she is still reving even when the...
