My S3 may be 3 years old now but the interior seems like its held together worse then a 10 year old Escort. (well maybe thats a slight exageration) I get rattles from the armrest The passenger door card The parcel shelf The glovebox and the steering column Admitedly I am REALLY fussy when it...

David How old are you if you dont mind me asking ? And do you look your age ? Im just wondering what this copper classes as a "young lad"

Hi DValve1 Im sure I read somewhere that you wouldn't be given your photo unless it was to be used as evidence against you in court. I may well be wrong though, having never not a NIP (touch wood) I dont know how it works.

You wont get to see your photo unless it goes to court unfortunately. This web site here has a lot of info on speeding etc. you may even find a loop hole and get off with it. http://pepipoo.com/

The computer box, Im on page 2 of this thread at the moment and im having trouble containing my self. This bloke cant be for real I loved it when he wrote "Oh yeah I also figured out that WD40 + a propane torch is a bad idea"

[ QUOTE ] HTC said: I was caught by a laser gun on 20th nov doing 53 in a 40. A prosecution letter dropped through the door a week later. Got my first SP30 with 3 points and a £60 fine. Joy. [/ QUOTE ] Were you pulled over though ? If not, then these guns must record your reg number, surely.

There is a key designed NOT to open it ?? I didn't know that, I got 2 flip keys and a plastic one when I bought my car, I assume your refering to the plastic one.

Im having a similar problem with my car, although I have this "illumination" problem on the dash board, where the headlight switch is, it works at the start of a journey then goes out, I've even had it flashing at me before now. Taking it to audi in the new year to get it sorted out under...

Was wondering if they record your registration number or not. Today I had one pointed at me. I was doing 40 when i saw him (quite a distance away) then 35 when I was near to him (which would be 32mph in reality taking into account the speedo inaccuracy) I didn't get stopped, although when I...

Hi All Was just wondering, my car is gonna be 3 years old in January, does that mean I get it MOT'd then, or is it the following year ? and will I be reminded of that as well ? Cheers Paul

[ QUOTE ] Pal_S3_Turbo said: Paul I had a conversation with Audi last week about this as mine ruuns out in another week, i was qouted £472 for the fourth year but this was with Audi direct. The dealer quoted me over £600. The details are all on this web link Audi Administration Might...

I had a quote from my main dealer for £470, funny how the prices vary isn't it. Its good value for money though because you get the breakdown cover thrown in as well, where if you were to go to the AA for example you'd be paying £80 per month for membership, over the year thats double what the...

Are the parts they use themselves under warranty ? Just wondering if something goes wrong again that I had done under warranty will Audi replace it ?

Hi People My S3's warranty expires in January so im wondering if Audi will contact me with a quote to extend it, or is that up to me to chase them for it ? thanks Paul

Wish I knew that, when I bought my S3 some 2 1/2 years ago I was given a 1L bottle of SLXII, used that, also bought and used a 2nd one as well, before realising it was the wrong oil, dont think it did the car any harm though, its done nearly 25k miles now and still running well

The Leon would get my vote over the Ford any day, its probably quicker as well being that it has the same 225bhp lump that the S3 has

Why is it you need to change the water pump anyway, are they known for packing up after a cambelt change or something ?

My understanding is that its just when your engine is new that it'll use a lot of oil. My S3 was drinking oil in the first 6000 miles of its life, now its at 25k and I haven't toped it up in about 10000 miles.

I dont want to be the bearer of bad news but I think this problem is normal, especially on Quattro cars. See the post I created some time ago regarding this. Click Here

What petrol do you use, My S3 drinks nothing but Shell Optimax and doesn't appear to run out of steam near the redline at all. maybe it might in 4th, but I've never really tried redlined it in 4th before.
