    Hi all, LINK I got these a few weeks back but haven't had the chance to see if they fit and it was only when I checked them against my calipers I noticed that they were bigger and that the S3 has single piston calipers and not twin. The seller thought they were S3 and I only bought them...

    Could this signal the end of the S3 replacement ? From this months EVO What do you reckon ? I like the idea of having a 2+2 coupe as I have kids that need fitting in the back. Don't think much of "Shooting Brake" as a name though. Didn't Aston Martin use that name for an estate version some...

    Any S3 owners got rear aero wiper?

    Hi, Just been searching for info on the aero wipers but one thing I haven't been able to clarify is if the rear aero wiper can be used on the S3 without fouling the rear spoiler? It looks like you buy a polo arm and touran blade but the pics I can see only show an A3 not S3. VAG PArts do the...

    Climate Control

    Hi Folks, Been trying to get to grips with the Climate Control on my 2002 S3. The one thing that's baffling me is that no matter which setting I use to select which vents I want air to come from I always get air blowing into the footwells (lower vents according to the manual). I've tried...
