    Similar to the post by @Dr_Rick, this thread is quite long and also spans 4 years in which time some HU recommendations and issues will have been superseded and resolved. It really would be great to know which is the latest HU that works for specific models. Maybe narrow down the...

    I think it is 197Bhp so I guess it is belt driven then. 5 years sounds like a more reasonable interval. I might leave it to next year then.

    Thank. Can't I do the wiper blades myself ? I shouldn't need to pay Audi unless there is something different about these blades compared to other cars. The cambelt every 4 years - really ??

    Servicing - Confused !!!

    Thanks. I don't think they have done anything in the past other than change the oil. I definitely want the brake fluid done as it is 4 years old now. I thought spark plugs were every 6 years or 60k miles ? Is that correct or should I do them anyway ? What is the recommended interval for the...

    Hi all, I have an Oct. 2008 (coming up to 4 years old) A3 Cab with the 2.0 TSI engine and S-Tronic/DSG gearbox. It is on the AVS servicing scheme and has had two services so far based on this. It is now on 32k miles. The driving is a mixture of town (70%) and motorway (30%) I am...

    Looking for early S3 - advice

    The 530 D had about 238BHP so I guess more than a standard early S3 but it is a heavier, lardier car, great on motorways though with lots of mid range torque. The Turbo is a different kettle of fish, great fun but mental fast - every time I take it out I am worried I will come back without a...

    Looking for early S3 - advice

    Well the A3 Cab is my wifes but the Turbo is mine. It is my fun weekend car and I recently sold my daily driver (BMW 530D) and now looking for a new daily driver. Fancied something a bit more fun than the 530D and also wanted to bank some cash, hence setting myself a budget on the S3
