how dissapointing! I must say, i expected the S3 to have much better times, i was under the impression that it could 1/4 in mid 14's as standard? so at 260bhp and with 4WD i would hope it could be staring at almost flat 14's!?

Just interested as to what everyone had before, and more importantly what the step up is!? I came from a MK4 1.8t, whcih i had for a month as it was so dissapointing. i have owned adn built two of the fastest MK1 clio's in the UK, one which 1/4's in 14.4 and one in 14.1, whcih for a FWD N/A car...

cheers for all the reply's guys, im thinking im still gonna get Audi to check the changer. The gear problem continues, it feels like it crunches into 1st sometimes and second doesn't select quickly, it's difficult to engage, def a probloem there i think? Mehdi

had my S3 just over 3 days now, and i absoloutely love it, i thinks its awesome. Just a few minor points that are bugging me, the 6 cd changer jumps alot, even whent the CD's aren't scratched, this especially happens when i first turn the cd player on, anyone else have this problem? I think it...

bump! anyone?

just shook hands on a 51 plate S3. just a few questions, when i had the computer on the vag, it sghowed up a coolant sensor fault, i know this is cheap to fix but does it effect performance at all? i have already mentioned the slipping clutch, its a perculiar one though, the clutch only seems to...

I've found myself a black S on a 51 plate, with 58k miles, facelift 210bhp S3. The car needs a new clutch but otherwise seems fine, my friend who is an Adu tech is coming to check it out with his vagcom machine, is there anything else i should check? The steering feels a little heavy to me also...

just to update, it now looks like i'm getting this car, my friend who is an audi tech is gonna come and check it out and run it through the vagcom, anyone have any other advice?

just seena 51 plate black S3, 210bhp, the car seemed fine, BUT the clutch was slipping when it came on boost in 4th and 5th, anyone know how much a clutch change is? and also, the steering felt quite heavy, any ideas of faults? cheers guys

very interested int his also! I currently have a clio 16v that i expect to run flat 14's at circa 100mph! Im selling the clio to fund an S3, i know it will be a drop in performance but the S3 is so much more then outright pace! Clio has williams conversion and stripped out, it ran a 14.3 in this...

Very helpful post SimonP. What are the most popular colours? Did the S3 thave the re-call problem with dodgy coil-packs?

doesnt have heated seats? thought that was standard?

Hi all, went to look at some cars teh other day, renaultsport 182, Golf TDi (130) and an S3, hands down the S3 won. Now im in the market for one. Does anyone have any advice they can give me? Best places to look, common faults etc? Any recall problems? As soon as i get rid of my Clio williams...

just thought i would add (for no particular reason) my williams powered clio ran a 14.404@96mph last summer, that was with 3/4 tank of petrol too! mods are a hil power chip, modified air box, and full exhaust, williams engine and box and rear seats and spare wheel removed. my mates clio has head...

guys?

hi, im thinking of buying an S3 as my next car, but i'd love to know some actual figures for a chipped S3. i've been up against some standard ones and been slightly dissapointed (although i understsand that the S3 has a lot more going for it then outright performance) 1/4 mile times or 0-100...
