    The A3 has a new brother!

    Lovely car. I've always wanted one or an early NSX.

    Worst experience ever.

    I'm really sorry to hear about this. It pains me to say this but it's becoming all too common in the Greater Manchester/Liverpool conurbation. Mine, Leon's and two or three others off the forum (one was somebody's father's RS4) all stolen in the last twelve months. First and foremost, the...

    Black Edition

    Finally! Looking forward to pics of a Misano. A rare beast! Still no word on mine yet. Hope they don't let you down again.

    Watch Out Thieves About

    Bad news, all too common in the North West nowadays. Mine went in slightly different way but a work colleague's A4 TDi was taken in a similar fashion a couple of days ago and he's not far from you. It was debadged and it was the special edition with the RS4 style alloys etc so hope they got a...

    Auf Wiedersehen A3

    He's getting a 130i M Sport judging by his signature!

    Black Edition

    Good! That's the logic I would apply. Just something I had heard - I will add it on to the order.

    Black Edition

    Cheers for the reply. 20" wheels sound painful! I was thinking about the debadge option too, although I have heard some leasing companies don't allow it or can be a bit funny about it. Mine is also a company car and the leasing company are currently processing the order. I think I'm going...

    Black Edition

    CoolCurly and theGman how long between placing the order and delivery date? It was just under three months for my S3. What spec have you guys gone for? Hope the wait isn't too bad!

    Audi full service history.

    As everyone else has said he hasn't got a hope. Even if you hadn't put 'Sold as seen' on the paperwork there is no guarantee given or implied with a private sale and it is up to the buyer to establish that full history is full history to his satisfaction. For the record I agree that you do have...

    Audi Bedford!!

    I do sympathise with you. I had problems with one dealer (to make clear it wasn't Bedford though) failing to fix the window problem on my S3 and the squeaking brakes. Also, I did start to hear a grinding noise from the NSR when braking after reversing slowly. Their reply was 'Sorry sir, we can't...

    Black Edition

    To answer some of my own questions, I drove a FWD 170 yesterday and once moving it's pretty similar to the BMW. Off the line the BMW is understandably quicker due to the greater traction of RWD. The dearer Bluetooth kit enables you to charge your phone but a separate cradle is required and...

    Black Edition

    Firstly, apologies for such a long post - I am very close to ordering a Black Edition to replace my now long lost S3 which was stolen earlier this year. As it will be a company car this time, I'm going for a manual FWD 2.0 TDi 170 Sportback and have a few questions. Thanks for all the photos...

    S3 2nd AVS service - mileage shock!!

    That's interesting as they certainly didn't change the oil and oil filter as part of the second service for mine.

    S3 2nd AVS service - mileage shock!!

    That sounds correct, the first is for an oil and oil filter change (mine was at about 13k) and the second for other items except oil and oil filter (mine was at about 18k). If the two are very close together then it makes sense to do both together and any sensible dealer will. If your annual...

    Is owning an S-Line a magnet for burglars?

    Correct, I remember when Leon's (username phantom) was stolen he said it had put him off having a nice car, I'm currently debating this at the moment with regards the car I will replace the S3 with. Mine was always garaged and I don't actually live in Manchester itself but then again it wasnt...

    Is owning an S-Line a magnet for burglars?

    Thanks Matt. No prizes for guessing where it happened - Manchester.

    Is owning an S-Line a magnet for burglars?

    No, I got 'car jacked' by four guys.

    Is owning an S-Line a magnet for burglars?

    Well mine got stolen a few weeks ago. You're taking a risk if you have anything desirable, the question is: should you let it put you off spending your hard earned on something you want?

    PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!!!!!!!!

    Leon, sorry to hear this. I'm glad the family are ok and I hope it doesn't spoil Christmas for you too much. I also hope the scum that did this get what they deserve. I read in the paper about the RS4 that got stolen locally a few weeks ago. I hope you haven't been put off too much and one...
