    Worrying engine vibration

    All four cylinders work fine, its just a constant vibration. I'm gonna take it to the dealer this afternoon. Your right, in the UAE there are no S3's at all, all I know of is a yellow one in Abu Dhabi, I think mine was imported a few years ago then Gulf Spec'd. So you live in Oman? what do...

    Worrying engine vibration

    My engine is vibrating, leading to the whole car shaking weather it's on tickover or revving, when lifting of the accelerator or in motion. Dosen't feel anything like a engine mounting. Engine sounds bad, power is there but not running right like the revs not dropping quickly and wont go in to...

    Sooty tailpipes and Toxic smell ...

    ok, its not temperature sensor or timing sensor. The problem has got worse now, hesitation on part throttle, low on power. One thing I noticed was when I dip the clutch and blip the accelerator it backfires a bit and the revs dont rise at all, I'm no mechanic, but its like when I had a...

    Squeeking from front suspension area. Help!!

    I had the mother of all creaks, changed the ARB bushes and linkage, it was good for 2 weeks and now it has started again, nowhere near as bad but still ****** annoying, the local Audi specialist here said that the ARB never break so there would be no need in changing them, if it gets worse...

    Sooty tailpipes and Toxic smell ...

    I've recently had major surgery on my S3, Head/Cam belt/suspension/cooling system/brakes/paint & fianally detailed. After all that I thought it would be ok, but since I've had it back I've covered roughly 2,000kms, and in that time its been idleing erratically, the revs have been dropping to...
