Hi Folks, the search for an S3 continues, currently considering a very low mileage one owner car, Its got 16,000 miles, all the toys and has been serviced by Audi main dealers every 12 months religiously and had the Haldex and S-tronic oil changes done along with the Cambelt and water-pump ...
Currently looking to return to S3 ownership after 2 years in an S4 following 6 glorious years in an 8l S3.
Struggling to find a good S3 with circa 50,000 - 60,000 miles or less and the dealers I've spoke to seem to be total cretins, reluctant to disclose anything about the cars history. One...
Gentlemen,
I am replacing my RNS-E with a Kenwood that has ISO connectors, and I'm having trouble establishing what adapter cables I need to go from Quadlock to ISO. Car is a 2005 S4 with Bose. New head unit is a Kenwood DNX4150BT and I would be very grateful for any tips or pointers in the...

Hi All
My S4 with the Xenon self levelling headlights has a weird fault, for no apparent reason the lights will randomly self adjust upwards dazzling oncoming traffic. I have run VCDS and got the following codes coming up;-
Address 55: Headlight Range Labels: 8P0-907-357.lbl
Part No: 8P0...
Well after 6 glorious years and 110,000 miles it's time to wave goodbye to my 1999 S3, she's been an absolutely fantastic car and I will miss her. Replacement is a 2005 B7 S4 with 80,000 miles tiptronic and RNS-E.
Many thanks to all the great forum members that have been truly amazing with...
Hi, I am probably going to be changing my 1999 S3 for either a S4 4.2 or more likely a Mk 2 TT 3.2 and wanted to get forum member views on the infamous cam chain stretching issues and others. Cars I'm considering range from 61,000 to around 90,000 miles. Is the cam chain problem widespread or...
At the suggestion of some on here I have replaced the coilpack wiring loom to try and sort a misfire. Car is a lot better and the old loom had several cracks in insulation but there's still a misfire, generally around 2750 rpm and most noticeable under load, at higher revs car is usually ok, but...
Hi all
Today my 1999 APY engine S3 started to misfire under load, seems fine in normal driving but if you put foot down it runs like a bag of nails. Have run VAG-COM and got the following fault codes:-
Address 01: Engine Labels: 06A-906-032-APX.clb
Part No: 8L0 906 018 K
Component: 1.8L...
Thinking of replacing my 1999 S3 with a 2006 B7 S4 and little concerned re the engine reliability and in particular the cam chain death rattle. How common a problem is this and what are forum members experiences, hints and tips for a B7 S4 buyer. car will probably be 70-100k example
Thanks in...
Driving to work today noticed that my windscreen wipers were moving much much slower than usual, even on "fast" they were slow.
Not had chance to look but wondered if this is a common fault and if it's usually a tired motor or linkage issue?
if its motor are all 8L motors the same? or does the...
My 1999 APY S3 normally is up to temp (90 deg) within about 2 miles of leaving home, however, last few days its taken a good 20 miles. Once it eventually get there its seems fine, sits at a steady 90 degrees as normal. My first thought was Temp Sender of Thermostat, but given that one up to...
Hi Folks,
My 1999 S3 has a Forge turbo outlet hose between the Turbo and the hard pipe, been in place about 2.5 years and has popped off twice in last 3 months, last time was Sunday and has now come off a third time. RAC re attached it on Sunday and tightened the jubilee clip as tight as...
Hi folks, quick question for the brake gurus, have possibility of getting a pair of RS3 front callipers does anyone know if they can be used on a 1999 8L S3 and if so what disc's and carriers would one need?
Thanks in advance

Hi Folks
Thought this would be an easy afternoon task, replacing rear pads and discs, got everything apart ok but the discs would not come free. Have tried heat, and a large persuading stick, but no joy. Any thoughs or does any one near Plymouth have a big hub pulller that would pull the disc...
Does anyone with an S3 have any photos of the positionin gof the strut brace each side? I'vr bought one off ebay allegedly for an S3 but I have a sneaky feeling its off a TT as the drivers side does not seem to fit around the pipes in that area. also, any suggestions what bolts I should use to...
For about 2 months now I have had a rattle from the heat shield around the exhaust/cat, I managed to replace some corroded bolts on the one that covers the cat but still had the rattle from another one somewhere. The rattle only occured between about 1350 rpm and 1750 rpm and has been driving...
Hi folks
Im going to be fitting the Billy B8's and Eibach springs tomorrow and I am trying to ascertain the correct geometry settings for the car, it's a 99 APY S3 on standard Avus 17 inch Wheels.
Hopefully some kind soul can post the settings.
Cheers in advance

Well the good old S3 has shat on me again, 2 broken rear spings and a perished vaccum hose to the brake servo, such are the joys of a 11 year old 100,000 mile S3.
Rather than just replace the 2 rear springs it seemd pointless not to upgrade the whole suspension, so a phonecall to DPM Perfomance...
