    S3 Sump Removal and Refit (with pics)

    I did this at the weekend. This thread helped. I was lucky in that a friend is an Audi Service Manager so he managed to lend me the long ball allen key to use with the ratchet. If you can get hold of something similar it makes getting all the 20 smaller bolts a breeze. It was a 1/2 Drive with...

    Help newly acquired 2001 A3

    The temp gauge could well be the Coolant Temp Sensor. This is very common or the thermostat. Do a search for the location and see if it is green in colour. If it is black, it is likely that is the issue. They are not expensive and a 5-10 min job to replace yourself. Thermostat is more complex...

    S3 Facelift Concert Tape Player Upgrade?

    I have a Facelift S3 with the Tape player and 6 CD changer. I have seen a few Facelift S3's with Concert single CD head units. I thought great will get one on Ebay.... Do they actually exist? Were they a rare option? I see a lot for A4's that look identical however I am guessing they do not...

    What is she worth?

    Time to sell up in the next few months. JUst fancy a change to something more bonkers. The S3 while fantastic is just too sedate. What sort of price do you reckon? 2001 X Reg (Facelift), Black, Full Service History and 2 previous owners, 115K, Blue/Leather Interior. Genuine RSTT's with...

    just brought new leather

    You refer to TXT speak, but I dont see TXT speak in his posts. I see normal posting with spelling mistakes and some gramatical errors. I fully agree with you that TXT speak is annoying but this ISNT being displayed here. What if he was dyslexic? Just Dave on the blob again like he allways...

    Audi S3 or My Feet?

    See the hair may be a problem. Was it the OEM add on or aftermarket? As I have heard anything but OEM hasnt been correctly tested in a wind tunnel for drag. Unfortunately toe hair reduces the "fanny magnet" capabilities of your feet

    Audi S3 or My Feet?

    Depends if you look like you have been hit in the face with a shovel, or if you are a brad pitt look alike. Also MPG depends on how fat you are LOL

    Thinking of selling the s3!

    LOL give over they are far from slow. I have a friend with one and he is very into his and knows a few others with them from the owners club. They rarely if at all have any trouble. Thats a pretty sweeping statement just because its a french. Jesus christ lay off him LOL. I am sure he is...

    Audi A3 a better prospect for a fast car than an S3?

    Audi A3 a better prospect for a fast car than an S3?

    I dont care about status. I like the look of the S3 over the A3 arches, interior (no hunting for a leather clade pre facelift), I like the fact that with a £400 remap it pushes out a healthy amount of power, compared to the 1.8T, I purchased the car because I liked it for what it is...
