    A refreshing beverage holder?

    This has come up in the past and as I recall there's a part from S.E.A.T. for the Leon which fitted into the two blank switch plates (once you had moved the switches about a bit). I think it took a bit of fidding around as one end was flat and the other curved, but some managed to do quite a...

    Have you tried Star Performance in Kirkcaldy? I took my S3 there for all services, top service. STAR Performance: Home

    Rear washer

    The seized shaft doesn't mean a new motor, there's a repair kit from Audi (was about £28 I think) which had a step by step pictorial on here. I bought one and printed off the pics for my local mechanic, worked perfectly. Here's the link... Hope it works, but it's on here anyway LOL...

    strange metal clunky sound

    Have a look at the heat shield on your cat convertor, that might cause the sound.

    sinister engine noise, im quite worried.

    I had that kind of sound once on my A6, turned out to be the cat disintegrating, the noice was ceramic parts of it inside the exhaust.

    why am i getting such crap MPG lately?

    A few possibilities to consider, colder weather, heater on longer, ditto heated seats, wipers. Clocks moved forward so headlights used longer. Sensor faults, have you done the math with a topped up tank to see what your actual use was?

    What is your typical S3 MPG.....?

    Over 40,000 miles my average was 26.1 mpg, my predecessor got 27.1 over his 55,000 miles, I'm guessing our driving styles were quite similar. The car had regular services from either Audi or Star Performance.

    Anyone know what this DIS warning means? (pic)

    My friendly mechanic did mine when I also got stuck, he said the trick was to take out each bulb in turn to get the unit out, then replace as it goes back in. No idea if it works, but my bulb did get changed.

    What next after the S3?

    Last year I sold my S3, 96k on the clock but in good nick overall for a 99 plate. I thought long and hard about what should replace it, main thought was for an A6 3.0 Tdi Avant (233 BHP) which I could then tweak at Star Performance. These cars were like hen's teeth to find without travelling...

    Car wont start, just clicks!

    Yes your measurements are fine for a new battery. For anyone else with this kind of problem, a battery at rest should be around 12.5 - 12.7 volts, running the car at around 1500 - 2000 RPM this should climb to around 14.1volts. If the car won't start, put a voltmeter across the battery...

    Fluid dripping from infront of passenger side rear wheel, ideas?

    Doesn't the rear washer pipe run on that side of the car? Quite common for it to split too. Check your washer reservoir to see if it's dropped, also see if you are getting full pressure on the rear wash/wipe.

    WHY THE 3.2Q DSG IS So MUCH BETTER THAN THE S3!!

    Hahaha love it, posting in the wrong forum about a car you dislike but then pay extra to make yours look like it. R E T A R D. Never mind Stevie with three V's, I'm sure your mum loves you.

    Have I Made A Mistake???

    I had my 99 plate S3 for 4 years until I sold it this year, in that time it only let me down once, and even then it was just in limp mode for 2 days. I needed a bigger car because I go fishing and the S3 was just a wee bit too small, I got a Scooby Forester 2.5 turbo which hits 60 in 6 seconds...

    Driving Your S3 / A3 At Speed = Twats

    So, had this been a BMW, or a Mercedes, Subaru, Ford, Vauxhall or any other car that could reach these speeds...... would you have been on their forums with the same message? I doubt it, in fact I know you wouldn't.. whatever points you felt you needed to score over the Audi A3/S3 forum have...

    Bye Bye S3

    jamieface, the prodrive powerthingmy pack is available which drops the 0-60 to something like 5.3s. Positive point from today....... seeing the sales rep cr@p himself when I floored it on the test drive. Just to add, apart from the usual niggles like the rear washwipe following the wiper...
