    Shall I change my MAF?

    My car is hesitating slightliy on boost so I unplugged the MAF and it's boosting like it should do. Was a bit worried that it may be something else. I shopped around for a new one and spoke to VAG parts in Swindon who always seem to be cheap and supply genuine Audi parts, they told me the...

    buying a 2001 s3

    Might be a bit of a long shot but... This S3 doesnt happen to be a sliver, Y or 51 reg one with black leather and a small dent on the boot? Only I went to see one with 7 owners and 60k in Bolton a few months ago. It looked like it'd had a front end bump at some point. I hope not as I went and...

    Help! What's this light mean??

    I disconnected the battery as the Audi had been stood for a while whilst in the body shop having stonechips removed and I'd bought a new one today to put on. I left it for 1/2 hour and connected it back up and now the light has gone off.. Took it for a spin and put some v-power in and it's still...

    My friend put some 97 octane fuel in and my remap says a 98 is required on the paperwork! Could this cause it? I havent got vagcom, is it something I have to go the dealers for?

    How much is my S3 worth?

    No traction control! I can't believe how quick it is.. Not luxury at all though.. My friend who owns it has taken the S3 for a few days so might be bale to do a deal! Yeah it's staying stealth, it's a real street sleeper!

    How much is my S3 worth?

    Thanks for the comments. I was thinking 9k to be honest! Yeah it's a decent car and I'm confident that whoever viewed it first would buy it as it's faultless. I spent a few months finding this one and went to see quite a few bad ones! I bought it from Bournemouth and had to fly from Manchester...

    How much is my S3 worth?

    My permanent place of work is due to change and there is no way that I'm going to put the kind of mileage I'll be doing on my S3.. Just wondered if anyone can give me a realistic valuation on it! It's a 2001 Facelift on a Y reg and has just hit 50,000 with a full service history with recent...

    Anyone put an S3 up against a Mk5 Golf GTI?

    Well I put these two up against each other today.. On an old runway at work. From 0 to whatever I was doing.. The Audi left it! I've got used to driving the GTI over the past few weeks and was pleasantly surprised with the S3 today when I picked it up.. The turbo is quite evil compared to the...

    Review of S3 ownership...

    I was mate, didn't go on much though! I spent most of my time on edition38. Cheers, it's a nice car. I sold it for £5500 which is good money in todays market, it had only done 60k and was mint. I spent about £7000 on that car. It only had the Ram Air Induction but the engine was really strong...

    Anyone put an S3 up against a Mk5 Golf GTI?

    I'm still going to line the 2 of them up and see what happens! I'll get my mate to drive the GTI and then we'll swap, I hope the S3 comes up with the goods! That damn GTI does get to 60 very quickly though.. But then again I have been driving it like I stole it which is something I don't do with...

    Review of S3 ownership...

    I'm not sure what to think of the S3, I spent months searching for one and ended up flying to Bournemouth to pick this up.. It's standard apart from a map to around 265 I think and has only done 48k but I'm just not sure about it! The interior is quality and the inside is a nice place to...

    Suspicious ???

    That car was for sale a few weeks ago at double the price! I bet it's a scam. Aky - Have you seriously put money down on this? I'd be willing to bet my eyeballs that this is a scam.

    Anyone put an S3 up against a Mk5 Golf GTI?

    MKVI already? That came around quick! I'd buy a MKV but then again I may chance my mind when the S3 is back. I wouldnt mind a go in the 8P S3, bet it's even more fun than the GTI.

    Anyone put an S3 up against a Mk5 Golf GTI?

    This thread has got a bit interesting ha ha! Yeah the Ed30 is a Mk5, bet they are quick as this standard one is quick! I must admit I'm really enjoying driving the Golf, I drove the Mk4 1.8T GTI when it came out and I wasn't impressed.. I think theyve got this one bang on.

    Anyone put an S3 up against a Mk5 Golf GTI?

    I've seen that the Mk5 has a general 0-60 in around 7.2s and the S3 around 6.6s! It's probably that extra change to hit 60 that is making me think the Mk5 is better! It seriously annoys me how you have to be in 3rd to hit 60 but then again I'm sure i've hit 60 in 2nd in it and only had to do the...

    Selling S3 £7500 sound fair?

    Was that Chau's old S3? If so I can vouch for that being a minter! How much did you sell that for in the end? You didnt p/x it did you? I would of taken that car 100%, I was after the black/blue interior. I think about £7000.00 but that's just my opinion.
