I'm in the 'diff and have had a couple of S3s (RSQ3 at the moment)
Still got my old reg S3 CYM on retention if any of my S3 driving fellow Cymry are interested....
Forgotten just how good-looking the 8L S3 was (still is).
I bought one in 2001 and would have loved Nogaro Blue but that wasn't available at the time. Next choice was Imola but my (then) wife didn't approve, so I went for Mineral Grey.
Sadly, I was doing big mileages back then and had to let...
I bought the latest maps from these guys: https://upgrademyaudi.net
It required an MMI firmware update too. Cost about £100 in total and any further map upgrades will be about £60 a time, unless and until a new firmware is required.
There's a lot of reading and video watching to be done and it...
I've had my RSQ3 for almost 4 weeks now and have resisted the urge to try the launch control - until today. Before I did, I dragged-out the VCDS to have a peek at what the previous owner had done - only 1 go in 52000 miles, what a saint!

My current S3 has satnav and the speedo reads no more than 1mph over when calibrated against GPS. I don't know if the speedo is linked to the onboard GPS but I regard it as spot-on and...
I had a Thule Alpine 100 with my old S3 but swapped it for an Alpine 500 when I got the A4 Avant so I could fit skis in. Now I'm back in an S3 and need to go back to a shorter box.
I've also got a pair of Thule aero bars with clamps for roofbars going spare now..................
I'm using a 120Gb Classic that I snagged from eBay. My little 2nd gen Nano works fine too. I love having all of my music available rather than a big pile of CDs cluttering-up the glove box.
