    Next car from S3

    Currently I get through a tank about every 10 days with spirited driving and social visists. My new job is 3 times as far so I would guess at 300-400 miles.

    Next car from S3

    Had the S3 for over a year and I have loved it. Just got revo map but would have loved to do the suspension. Got a new job and have to travel a lot further to get there and I'm not looking forward to the petrol costs, so I was thinking about getting an oil burner. I was thinking somthing like...

    Boost gauge which one??

    Might be interested in the vents. The Cupra forum link doesn't work for me. How easy is it to plumb it in from the air vent? Do they also need power? I have no idea how to get a line from the engine bay poking out an air vent!

    Induction noise

    cheers, not sure its worth the cost to get on now. do exhausts do anything while revving?

    Induction noise

    Just unclipped air box to check out the noise to see if it would be worth getting an induction kit on my S3. The rumble under heavy load at low rpm was lovely but as the rpms rose it just sounded the same as normal. I was expecting it to roar a bit more while revving like I have heard on mr2s...

    creaking from suspension

    at the risk of sounding stupid, what would the problem be? Sounds like you are suggesting bushes but I have had these changed. Can the bar itself creak? I haven't changed the bar itself yet.

    creaking from suspension

    I'm getting a creaking from the front suspension on my S3 when I go over speed bumps etc. I have so far had the arb bushes changed and also the arb links. This seemed to fix a knocking I was getting but not the creaking! any ideas?

    Stiff Clutch

    I have just had my longlife service done and as part of it I had the brake fluid changed. The clutch is now very stiff. The clutch shares fluid with the brakes doesn't it? Is it possible to drain some brake fluid to make the clutch lighter?

    Service Time

    My S3 is due for a service, it's booked in for Friday but I'm unsure whether to get the cambelt done aswell. It's 03 plate with 57k. The service booklet says 115k but thats wrong and was only for pre face lift. BAM engine codes should be 80k. I also heard that audi suggest to change it after 4...

    Best engine noise

    Does anything really make much of a difference to the engine tone on a s3? I love the k20a but I doubt its possible to get close to that. Does milltec / induction make things better or just louder?

    How do you drive an S3?

    I live in the midlands, are there any places people could recommend for suspension? I don't think Jabba or AMD are that far but are there any closer? Might have to take a trip to MIJ for REVO, luckily I live in Walsall :)

    S3 Price

    I paid £12600 for 03 with 52k private. I looked for quite a while and prices seemed to vary wildly. The HPI report valued my car at £17500 which is ridiculous. Parkers was a more reasonable 12k-16k. I think it's because its a premium brand and the price is high for the year compared to...

    How do you drive an S3?

    So you think more power is the answer. I can see this going wrong! Might book myself a advanced driving course. I had a colleague who went on the honda MAC course and he said it really showed you how to have safe fun and get the most out of your car. Anyone been on one? Waste of money?

    How do you drive an S3?

    I'm still getting used the handling in my S3 but I'm not really sure how to drive it. I'm interested to know what happens under fast conering / drift conditions so last night when the road was quiet I took her round some wet islands. Unless I'm doing something wrong the car seemed to handle...

    Just about to buy S3, What do you think?

    I went to have a look and just fell in love so now I am now the proud owner of a black S3 :) I got through a full tank of petrol in three days! Time to think about the mods.... DV + TIP + Revo will be first but for now I will just enjoy it how audi intended.

    Just about to buy S3, What do you think?

    I think i made up those tyres! Michelen Pilot sports is what i meant. I'm going to have a look at it in a few hours. Anything I should look for? Any common faults that can be spotted?
