    Best Bluetooth Option

    Well if you dont mind a visor bluetooth device then ive just bought a "Supertooth buddy". Daft name i know but it really is good. Paired with the IPhone in seconds. I know an OEM phone kit would be better but they are quite expensive. £50 is all it costs and at least you can move it to another...

    Oil issue.....any suggestions?

    Many thanks for that. I think it may be more to do with Audi Hull not doing a proper service before putting it up for sale as "Used approved" to be honest as it shouldn't have run out after 5 months I wouldn't of thought. I shall keep an eye on it. Thanks again for your input Mark. Cheers Tim

    Oil issue.....any suggestions?

    My S3 seems to be using a lot of oil. The zausts are thick black with soot and i wondered if there is an easy tweak to fix this or is it just a trait of turbo cars. I never once had to put oil in my R32 in five years of ownership yet i was scooting down the A1 last weekend and the "You havent...

    Auto light - dash light issue ?

    Can anyone clear this up for me please. When using the "Auto" setting for your lights should the dash lights be lit all the time (day or night) or is there a sensor somewhere that decides whether they are needed or not?. If the former is the case then i have an intermittent problem where by the...

    IPhone 3GS + S3 Ipod conn. Does it work?

    Is there any way to get the Ipod connection in my newly aquired S3 to recognise my 3Gs with the latest firmware?. Have bought a "Dock extender cable" but that doesnt do the trick. Am i just going to have to bite the bullet and get a Nano as well? Any info as ever much appreciated Y'all :think:

    Turbo question if i may.....

    I have heard that after a long drive that its best to leave the engine running for a couple of minutes after stopping before tuning the engine off to avoid any potential heat damage to the engine. Is this "Good practice" in the turbo world? If this is the case then what would everyone...

    Audi's quattro v VW's 4 Motion....

    Having just traded in my R32 for an S3 im noticing that the S3 has wheel spun in first a few times. Am i correct in thinking that the quattro puts it all through the front wheels until it decides that the rear needs a bit of stability and therefore isnt "True 4 wheel drive" in the same way as...

    S3 Car seat covers - any one use them?

    My car is a daily drive and id like to use a car seat cover to help preserve the seats from wear and tear. Ive looked at some cheap ones in Halfords and they warn to be careful when using them with leather heated seats. Is this really a concern? Does anyone use covers and if so could they...

    S3 Ipod connection and the IPhone 3GS

    Thanks for the info. I will order the extention cable but try the IPhone on its own again. Im presuming the previous owner must have kept all the different adapters as i seem to only have the one thats fitted.

    S3 Ipod connection and the IPhone 3GS

    Having just bought an '07 S3 i was pleased to find that it had an IPod connection. I have an IPhone 3GS and wondered if anyone on here uses theirs successfully?.
