I just got a new one. It was about £70.00. :(

I've just put on 4 new michelins, and I'm hearing the whine as well. It is VERY annoying. Does changing the tyre pressures make a difference anyone? I've ALWAYS put michelins on though, and this is the first time its been so pronounced. Maybe its because this is the first time in a long time...

I used to have this happen a lot whne my S3 was new (2001). Every time I went through a big puddle, I'd get a horrible groaning clunking noise. I believe it was in fact the exhaust cooling rapidly and perhaps even knocking the underside of the car in the process. Stopped happening as the car...

I've got the good old crackling front left speaker (which works when it is warm) problem. I've followed all the instructions on previous threads and resoldered all the joints on the BOSE amp PCB. It's not made a difference. (I've tried 3 times, (I'm sick of solder sucking)) Is it possible...

I've had the same problem (although it is only my front left speaker). I've taken the amp out and resoldered as per the diagram. It's exactly the same. Now what?

Only stayed at Audi while it was a Company car and under warranty. Once it became mine, I try to do all the diagnosis myself, and then take it to my local to get things done. Not particularly happy with them at the moment. Anyone recommend a good VAG place around Reading?

I've had mine from new. (July 2001), and just crossed the 100k barrier. (I missed seeing the milometer tick over by about 10 miles.. damn) Thought I'd give a brief list of all the stuff that's gone wrong in those 100K miles: 1: Xeons pointing to the ground (too low) when driving. 4 visits to...

Answering my own post. Spoke to DPM this morning. Ordered the Weitec 20mm Ultra GT Kit for £325. Going to get standard set of bushes and top mount from Audi. I'm going see if I can get away with NOT changing the rear tie rods. Hoping the rear geometry won't change too much with a mere 20mm...

I THINK I'm going to get standard bushes all round. I was toying with the Bilstien B6s at £449 and keep original springs. Then I thought, why not go for the Bilstein B12s including springs at £499 which lower by 30mm. I like the idea of lowering between 10 and 15mm like JesterS3 said. Does that...

Hi All, I've got almost 100K miles on my S3 (owned from new), and everything is completely standard. My front steering arm bushings need changing, and I thought I might as well change everything bushing-like. So, on the basis that I DON'T want to change anything (like lowered suspension and...

It has magically stopped buzzinf without me doing anything, however, I do recall it was bad on the last couple of really cold days. Next time it happens, or if it gets worse, I'll follow AndyMac's advice and take the amp out and resolder the PCB joints. (There's a thread earlier on where...

The amount of buzzing it makes does vary. I've not been able to nail it down. It irritated me so much I've just faded everything to the rear speakers. I guess I should see if it gets better when warmed up. The sound reminds me of the sound an AMP makes when the power transistor is blown, but I...

It still plays, but with a background rumbly/buzzy/crackly sound. At low volumes it is a continuous buzzy sort of noise. If you turn up the volume, the music gets louder, as does the buzzing. How do I get to the amp and fiddle with the speaker connections? Thanks, Mike

I had the same problem a few months ago (Y reg S3). Turns out it was the crank angle sensor (which funnily somehow has some bearing on the fuel pump as well.). Got it changed, and everything is perfect again.

I've got a 2001 S3 with BOSE sound, and everything works fine except that my front left speaker has recently started making a buzzing noise. I've faded and balanced and I'm sure that its only on that speaker/channel. Couple of questions: Is this likely to be a bad speaker, or a bad channel on...
