I seem to be having a similiar problem wherby sometimes the needle takes ages to get to 90 whilst travelling, but if I sit in traffic it seems to get to 90??
I had the same problem tonight where it only got quarter across and stayed there for the 35 mile drive home.
Is this easy to fix?
Is this your 1st S3?
I am sure that you'll love it. Although the first thing that you'll want to do is get it re-mapped, and you'll get plently of advice from folk here about that!
Had mine since 03 and still love driving it, which is a first for me.
In terms of meet's and a club...
Hi Folks
I posted a while ago with the sad news that I am selling my S3 :(
I have revised the price if you are interested in having a look in the classified section. It's a 2003 03 Nogaro Blue S3.
I would really like to share the fun this car has given me with another enthusiast...
blue/black full leather? i was going to have the blue/black but it wasn't all leather, the blue was alcantara. looks nice.
post some pics up when you get it back.
bummer, sorry to hear you are having problems.. i hate that when it happens to me, takes all the initial excitement away.
i'm sure that your local dealer will put things straight for you, and pass the bill onto the garage who sold you the car - result!
Time has come to sell my S3.. Boooooo ;( Why can't companies invest in decent company cars! A nice new S5 would have been lovely ;)
So, before I sell I want to get a few bits done..
Can anybody recommend a decent wheel re-furb company as my RSTT's could do with a nice clean-up?
It's...
I read this with interest as this has never happened to my S3's AC, even when i floor the accelerator it stays on??
Maybe this was an issue with some models? Mine's an 03..
the S3's now for sale :(
It's in the 'Classified' section if you want to have a look.
My company have finally decided to spoil my fun and are going to give me a car.. looking at the new A4 avant (need space for our dog!) Not exactly the S3 tho! It will be missed!!
All the best

Sorry buddy, I mis-read your original post.
I'd agree that your siren is ******** if your alarm is triggered but there is no noise. I thought that you wanted it to bleep on set/un-set.
Good luck with it.
I'd agree that manufacturers are coming up with some pretty quick cars nowdays, but I'd disagree that the Corsa will be faster than an S3. The standard numbers for the VXR are less than a standard S3: 189Bhp; 170 Ib-ft torque; 0-60 6.8; and a claimed top speed of 140.
When you factor that...
I can empathise. My job sucks at the moment. I need a challenge to keep motivated and due to imminent changes I am in a holding type situation with not a lot to do during the day! It's really boring! Can't even use the internet as I've told my team they can't during 'working' hours (some...
Watch for the Fabia Rs too. I had a run with one on the A46 some time ago now.
Thought Mmmm Skoda up my ***, bye bye.. But no, it kept with me for some time. The road was clear so it was only after some time I started to pull away, and I was foot to the floor all the way. My S3 was...
Your siren isen't broken, they are set to silent by default. There is a way of turning the sound back on again, but can't remember if it's a DIY thing or through your dealer (or VAG software, if you have it).
I am sure that if you search the forum you'll come across something.
Cheers
