    Post pics of your Q2,Q3, Q5 & Q7 in here.

    Pick it up tomorrow. Q3 2.0 TFSI Quattro Manual. To be fair the picture doesn't do it justice. Looks awesome. Probably should have held out for the RSQ3 but so be it. Ideal car for a 3 person family.

    RS Q3 better than a RS3?

    I watched one of the reviews on youtube. The bloke seemed to enjoy it. I probably would have spent the extra 6k to get one if I could have ordered one at the time. I've got my new Q3 to pick up tomorrow. Looks great. The best looking Q3 to come through my local dealer so far.

    Post your Audi A7 pics here!

    There are 2 round the corner from me. One is white and is an s-line version which is absolutely beautiful. The other is a grey similar to the pics above. I'm looking to sell my S3 and replace with a Q7 or A7 (although the S version of the Q3 could come into play). Think i'd take the A7 over...

    ESP Fault - Please See Owners Manual

    I had this fault last week, I had a thread with my error code on. Do a search if you want the code. Anyway the ABS brake sensor was the problem, £485 to get it fixed at an independant audi/vw garage. ABS is tied into the ESP. Common problem on A3s and Golfs. As it's a common fault Audi cut...

    ECS Warning Light S3

    My ESP light came on this morning, just had the code read, Brake Pressure Sensor - Code 01435. The stability warning light stays 'on' on the dash. Can't notice any difference with how the car handles. Anyway The new sensor is around £800, common fault on the Audi A3 S3 models. I also drive a...

    ESP fault code 01435 Brake Pressure Sensor - Common fault apparently

    Hi all, Has anyone else experienced this fault? The ESP problem flashes up on the display and the warning light stays on. How much for the replacement, been told to expect around £800 fitted. Audi acknowledge there is a fault with the units but instead of recalling them they reduced the...

    Sportback Vs 3dr

    Hi, I'm looking at changing for my 07 3dr S3 for either the S3 Sportback or an A5 sportback. My daughter 'Wants her own door'. Bless her she's nearly 6. Anyway, how different does the sportback drive to the 3dr? Any niggles to know about before I go and test drive? Cheers in advance. DenniS3

    Elec windows opened 3-4 inches whilst I was away from the car

    It's happened twice in 4 days now. Locked car by the fob, went away, came back and they are 3-4 inches down. I had a similar problem on an A4 about 7 years ago. Anything known to cause this? Not ideal when you live in the North East and it's tanking down. Look forward to the responses. DenniS3

    Wing Mirrors stolen again!!!!!

    Our area is pretty good, 3 S3s within about 500 yards, my house is second in from the end of the street so makes easy get aways possible. I'm looking at moving to a bigger house shortly with a proper double garage so cctv isn't on my agenda.

    Another set of side mirrors stolen !!

    Just found out today that another set were pinched in another part of Teesside on the same night. Looks like they have targetted them on a night of mischief. Police have been as helpful as they could with the info they have gained.

    Broken mirror - not amused - help required

    I didn't have folding mirrors on my S3, so to save on someone clipping them a scumbag removed both the drivers and passangers mirror for me on Christmas Eve. How thoughtful. Waiting for the sapres to arrive before I can get them fixed.

    Another set of side mirrors stolen !!

    I ordered some new heated glass for the mirrors and some crome cases off ebay, they aren't Audi spares but some other manufacturers. I'll see what they look like on. I'm looking to be an owner of an A5 for the summer so i'll see what happens in the mean time.
