    Ash tray

    I had the same problem mate. It's one of the paper clip-like mechanisms, very peculiarly made with yellow lubrication that goes wrong. You're better off leaving it down as when audi got my new ash tray it doesn't have the piano black finish, looks more matte.

    4WD System not working

    I've been told my transfer box was causing the problem. Ordered a new one, fingers crossed it does the job and there's nothing else to it. Anyone found out where the earth strap is located yet ie photo etc?

    4WD System not working

    Give Westle a shout, I bet he'll know Lemon. I've been told my transfer box is faulty, hence, no 4 wheel drive. Has anyone actually got this repaired by a garage? If it's around the £1000, I'd seriously get it done

    BIG mistake...

    Westle, this is slightly off topic matey, but do you know how to check the handbrake switch via VAG com? I'm still hunting down the problem that doesn't enable 4WD. Cheers

    4WD System not working

    Mine's doesn't kick in. Just realized today that the previous owner was a crafty sod who removed the fuse on purpose. I replaced it today but still no joy. Brake light switch is my next hope. Can't believe I was duped into buying a front wheel drive s3 for over a year.

    Winter engine start

    I start it with one bar of fan on, driving no more than 20000 revs until temperature needle is at 90. Normally takes about 15 minutes to get there or by the time I've made it on the m4, then drive as normal, albeit with front wheels only. GODDAMN

    I've got an older model without the ESP button. But I'm guessing you should keep it on?

    Airbag light

    I had it hardwired and charged £70 it went away then returned last month because the crash sensor is playing up. It is common fault on these cars. Really annoying

    Watch Out For Ice!

    Was following my mate's V6 4 motion last night and gave her a mild acceleration to catch up with him hoping the traction would kick in only to find myself spinning out of control, 360 and fortunately tapping into a curb with no real damage except confirmation that my 4 wheel drive system doesn't...

    4WD System not working

    I've also got the same problem. VAG com showed that there was a clutch malfunction and brake light switch faulty. Could this contribute to the problem? I recall buying the car a year ago in the snow and minutes after parting with my cash, it wouldn't make it up a slight hill. Obviously I...
