    S3 Brakes squeeking

    Thanks guys. It's not that bad I guess - at least it seems to be not just my car (not that any of us want this). Looks like it's going to have to be a 'put up with it until it needs to go in' job. Fair enough. I'm glad i've got BOSE, in the meantime.

    S3 Brakes squeeking

    Hiya Had my car for a few weeks now and i've noticed that my brakes will squeek really sporadically whilst I apply them from 40mph+. The thing is, they don't do it all the time. Like, i'll apply the brakes, they'll squeek for a couple of seconds if i'm decelerating slowly, then stop. Then...

    Average Consumtion S3 8P

    I tend to average about 25mpg on a day-to-day basis, this includes some start/stop traffic on the way to work and a fairly straight (but short) motorway run home. I travel a fair distance to see my girlfriend in Surrey regularly and to be honest on the motorway I find it really good. By...

    S3 Bluefin questions

    Hiya Ok so i'm contemplating getting a Bluefin for my S3 before I head to the Nurburgring in August, just a couple of questions... I'm getting a bit confused by the site - in some places it says you do it yourself (which I was always under the impression was the case) yet they also mention...

    Scirocco R

    I'm not sure I agree entirely - on the whole I was quite impressed with the GT that I test drove. The seats were terrible though.

    Scirocco R

    Fair point actually about the Xenons - they should be standard on the R20. :sm4:

    Scirocco R

    Looks fantastic. Having considered a Scirocco GT for a short period whilst choosing my last car - that looks like exactly what I was after but the GT just let me down. This only has two things wrong with it in my opinion - firstly the price. By the time you've put a few desirable options on...

    S3 slightly out of my reach

    I'm a media designer for quite a large Marketing and Design Agency. I deal with the digital side of things so interactive presentation DVDs, web applications and general digital effects for various marketing campaigns. I didn't go to uni so i've been doing it for nigh on five years now, and...

    S3 slightly out of my reach

    22 with an S3 here too. Surprised at some of the difference in insurance premiums between some people here. That said I was (pleasantly) surprised at what mine came out at too. Previously had a 2007 Mini Cooper S and paid £945 a year. £742 for the S3. :) That's with Tesco by the way - NOT their...

    Dilemma

    I would say this largely depends on the type of car you're after. I've driven both - I have an S3 and my brother has just sold his 325i M-Sport (e92). I will say from the outset, and having quite extensive experience with both brands that if you bought the S3 you certainly wouldn't be thinking...

    It's going to be a long day at work...

    Whilst I was stuck in rush hour traffic M62 this morning my Audi dealer called informing me that my private plate has now been transferred and is all ready to go. I pick up my S3 at 6pm this evening.:D Pics to follow.

    Renault World Series

    Went to this last year and had an absolutely fantastic day. Weather was spot on too. Highly recommend going along if you can - sadly i'm missing out this year as i'm on holiday.

    S3 on the way!

    Hiya, Well, did the deal yesterday and put the deposit down on an '08 Audi S3 in Dolphin Grey with full leather, Sat nav, Bluetooth, Bose and a few other toys! Currently got an R56 Mini Cooper S which i'll be a little sad to see go, but after driving the S3 i'm hooked! Just waiting for the...
