Hi all, Sorry for asking as I bet this has been discussed a lot, but I can't seem to get the search facility to return common feedback on people's MPG returns on the new S3's. Anyone have a link to a thread / want to give me what they're finding. Ideally driving steadily as it would be the...

Hi all, My other half is looking to replace her A3 petrol Quattro with a new one. Looking for a black edition, lots of tech options and she really wants Quattro. Using the online build your car there is no option for petrol, and when we poppped into the dealer to enquire it was the same news...

Hi all, I tried searching on here before posting but using my phone and wasn't getting anything concrete. In short, my Mrs' 15 plate A3 2.0 s line, is due its second service (racked up 40k miles). Dealer has quoted £750 (I don't know the breakdown of what has been quoted) but that sounds...

Hi all, I'm in the market for a new motor due to a change in job and more mileage. Sadly the S3 will need to go (if anyone's interested give me a shout). I've been looking at the small SUV/crossover range including Q3, X1, Tiguan, and more recently a Merc GLA 220 with all the trimmings, though...

Hi all, Has anyone traded up their S3 to move down to an A3 Diesel? I'm considering it at the moment. Love my S3 to bits and wanted one for ages. It's got a great spec, no issues with it though I do more miles now, and think of getting something just a bit newer. I'm particular about what I...

Hi all, Had my S3 serviced recently, and the chap couldn't reset the service indicator (using VCDS). Can anyone advise or help in the north east area? It's an 09 S3, if that should make any difference. Cheers.

Having got my new S3, I needed to have some coding done. I looked on here at the map and found Jonny from JMB Retrofits was nearest. I went to his unit yesterday and what a friendly fellow he is! Totally took time out to show me lots of little bits and bobs, and we even tried activating more...

Hello, Quick question. I'm using the online quote sites like go compare and money supermarket. I'm putting in the reg plates for S3 sportbacks but the results come up A3 2.0tfsi 5 door 1998 onwards. This happened with 2 of the cars. So I thought that's strange, and instead put in the option of...

Hi all, I tried calling audi today but just missed the closing time for the customer services. Anyone know the cost of extending audi warranty on an S3 Sportback? They list prices for A3's on audi site, but not sure if that's buying the car new (probably). It would be a second hand car dealer...

Hello, 1. Does anyone know the length of an 09/10 plate Sportback? My garage is small. Fits my A3 (8l 3 door) with some space to play, though I wish to park the car in, and also open the boot. So obviously the radius of opening the boot makes the car a little longer. Sounds miniscule but my...

Hello everyone:salute: I'm contemplating buying an 8P S3. Can anyone comment upon: Issues with the panoramic roofs - I searched on here and found someone with a leaky roof. Is this common? Performance in the snow - without driving like an idiot, just wondering what the traction is like...

Hi all, Years ago, I swapped my rear wiper for an 8P rear wiper. It's been fine and dandy, causing no problems and I liked the look of it. Obviously someone else likes the look of it and tried to yank it off the other day!! Swearword!!! So, today I thought I'd remove it properly as it's...

Hi guys, I need some new wheels and tyres, to run around in as my car is currently sat on bricks with no RSTT's attached anymore - after some little bast*rds (exuse my language) broke into my garage and took them. To say I'm gutted is an understatement and it couldn't have came at a worse...

...this last weekend! Not had a chance to sort out ma pics etc until now but what an experience! I've been trying to explain to friends and family about how phenomenally awesome this car really is - though I find it quite difficult to express with words - you really need to be out in...

Hi all, A few weeks back I did not drive my car for around 5 days. When I returned to start her up as usual she did not respond and needed a jump start. Not a problem, got a jump and she started working fine. Now, I have not driven my car for the past 3 days and I just went to move it and the...

Hi all, With reference to the problem of the electric windows busting on the A3/S3 (higlighted with fix by HTC here) I have a problem. I couldn't get to the mechanism last night, so I dropped my car off with my mechanic this morning, who took a look at it for me (they also found the removal...

Hi all, I have not started the car for the past 5 days. Going out this evening it would not fire over. I had internal power (stereo / lights etc – though the wipers were slow). Figuring this must have been the battery, I have just had a jump start. I left the battery a few mins before...

Hi all, Just a quick question as to where the diagnostic port is on the facelift model - I would imagine it is just beneath the ash tray like my pre facelift. Just wanted to double check as a friend wants me to go look at a 5 Door A3 tomorrow for test drive. We went to see it tonight...

Hi all, Recently detected a bit of a surging/hesitation feel through the rev range whilst driving my 98 A3T. The car also feels like it’s down on power. Build up is slower and in situations where my wheels would spin (such as in the wet) they don’t at all. Furthermore I am sure fuel...

seen this? I was just browsing the Autotrader and spotted this S3. Certainly a different colour. Also states the owner is a member of an S3 owners club. Was wondering if they are a member on here (as surely this is the biggest? :laugh: ), though if not - wonder what club they mean...
