    ABS warning light how to remove?

    Light removal etc would not help as MOT testers usually check that the ABS light comes on for a couple of seconds before going out and staying out. Problem is most likely a sensor or an ABS control module failure which do have a history of problems on the VAG range. Audi would quote big money...

    time to say goodbye to my car 3.2 v6

    Great cars .... personally wouldn't waste my time trying for anything north of £5k, then again if the adverts are free/very cheap and you have the time no harm in trying. 3.2's are real dogs to shift in the trade at present for good money. If I was selling on the private side I would try at...

    Buying an S3 THIS WEEK! *Fingers Crossed!* But Which One?!

    Modified vehicle is overpriced..... good spec. but I personally wouldn't touch at that price. In a few years time 330hp will be less special. Stage 1/2 8p S3's and BMW 135i's with a basic remap make north of that already. With a BT modified S3 competing against these cars once they drop further...

    No interest in the S3 :(

    AS above, Would you be in rush to buy a £20k car pictured on a non-discript car park with only a mobile phone number as a contact. I always advertise with a landline number. People want a number they can trace and don't want to p*ss about with poor reception on a mobile while they are paying 15p...

    Increasing longitivity(Engine rebuild)

    I am not convinced it's worth doing if you are only going stage 1, failures seem to be pretty rare, especially on cars running stage 1 with certified histories. Certainly consider if going the big turbo route though. My own car is a 99,V plate S3 I bought from auction eight and half years ago...

    Honest opinions

    Fair price....wouldn't be yelling BARGAIN !, but good spec. and FSH. With the benefit of knowing the car better than you would with any ordinary private purchase. Your friend is probably astute enough to realise it would be tough to get much more elsewhere. Cambelt ? ,also getting to the age...

    Is my car worth anything?

    There are trader's advertising S3's from £3195 ONO on Autotrader at the moment (going to be suspect at that money agreed).

    Is my car worth anything?

    Very flattering that people think I have the power to move the S3 second hand value market I am sure. No offence intendend.. I use Glass's guide for trade value and then use a tried and tested formula to adjust for the indivual car including private sale,bodywork,history,MOT etc. My car is far...

    Anyone know this red S3?

    Looks like a very good example, but £6.5K !!!, independent trade sale price for a cash sale is nearer £5.5k plus whatever the plate is worth....no idea there.

    Just a couple pics from this weekened with a few other enthusiasts...

    Mein Gott !! looks like the b**stard lovechild of an S3 that's mated with something off the set of Mad Max.

    Is my car worth anything?

    Like the title, tough question to answer with the mileage. As per previous comments trade down and take off the extras if you can as they add little value to the car. According to some people on this site S3 prices are rising fast....... And if it's really,really shiny with heated seats then...

    Looking for S3

    I would say £6500 is pretty near the money for an 02 on that mileage. If I was selling your car I would hold out for close to that amount if the car is clean and straight and £6000 for a very quick sale. As for the guy who claims he was offered £9500 on an 03 !!! ... sorry mate you either...

    Looking for S3

    Not sure a forum of mainly S3 owners is the best place to ask about values, there always seems to be a collective tendancy of talking prices up. Simple fact is that people do not pay much of premium for extras,modifications or something really shiny. Not looking to sell myself, but if I was...

    ***ABS LIGHT ON / HYDRAULIC PUMP***

    Can't remember exactly where it was under the bonnet quite low down, but I used a mirror to read the part number and then just got a match from the breakers. Been fine since I replaced it four years ago. Your best bet is to do a search on 'failing abs control units audi' or a similar...

    ***ABS LIGHT ON / HYDRAULIC PUMP***

    You might well find the problem is the ABS control unit attached to the pump itself. Audi wanted £1450 to replace mine on a 1999 S3 as they only replace the unit and pump together.:wtf: It's a known weak point across the whole vw/Audi range. The car will still function as usual just without ABS...
