    My S3 - First thoughts

    I had very high expectations. Went from an R32 to an S3.... and felt let down. S3 was way too twitchy for my liking. Probably makes it more fun to some people but they just scared me a little too much. Going back to the VW......

    Help urgently needed!!! New key needed

    I had two keys programmed. Audi Only in Manchester told me to do it you need two fobs. A second hand one off Fleabay will cost next to nothing. This garage did my recoding for £30.... less than half what the stealers were asking.:arco:

    Have I been Bullpooped...?!

    I had this on a car I used to own....allbeit a Renault Clio. Think it was just the starter. Try cleaning the connection for it, and see if that helps, it did on mine. Saying that it did it for two years and never caused an issue.

    S3 TAKEN OFF ME!! WHAT CAN I DO???

    Erm.... Ok whilst they may have to pay some form of compensation.... why on earth would they have to pay Ash the value of the car? Technically it's theirs? The argument lies on who gets first dabs on it. Seriously though, contact the ombudsman Ash. They regulate insurance companies. Their...

    chav website

    Be fair. I bet when most of the people off here were younger they made some serious faux pas? Whether it be in the car modifying scene, with your dress sense, with the way you talked, anything. He who hath no sin cast the first stone..... and all that ********.

    Help choosing oil please?

    It arrived exactly when Guy said it would, and I've topped up the car. Possibly a tiny touch too much as I've burnt a tiny amount off through the zorst. Worried myself for a second lol.

    S3 TAKEN OFF ME!! WHAT CAN I DO???

    AFAIK stolen recovered with no damage is category X. So you shouldn't actually lose any value in my opinion as long as you can show it wasn't actually damaged.

    S3 TAKEN OFF ME!! WHAT CAN I DO???

    As far as buying a car goes. Being an innocent purchaser is about as grim as it can get. As for sueing the last owner.... the burden of proof lies with you to prove he sold the car to you knowing it was ringed. Proving that could be tough in court. But all the very best of luck.

    Where or How To Reprogram Keys?

    Tom, as a matter of interest, have you the A3 or S3? The guy who I found with the parts wanted almost double for the S3 Central locking pump! It's one letter different on the part code.

    Help choosing oil please?

    Yeah I did go for that. I paid £35 for enough to do a full oil change...delivered. Seemed fair to me, and he really does know his stuff , seen a few of his posts on forums that I use... It should be here today.

    Where or How To Reprogram Keys?

    I took mine to Audi only in Manchester. If you replace the C/locking motor with one out of say a crash damaged car, then it's coded up wrong.... central locking will work but the key fob won't alarm. One key in ignition, one in the door I think and then needs the code ripping off.... Cost me...

    Cold running issues, Thermostat or temp sensor?

    I thought this was normal? When I'm on m/way... the temp gauge drops slightly from 90 all the time. Didn't think anything of it to be fair, I just thought it was with the cool airflow? Hope so anyhow!!

    strange noise from under the car?
