    Used S3, First Time Owner, What to Look For ?

    Thank you for the feedback, ill take a look on PH. Yes I did worry the Red may stand out too much and to be honest I'm not set on any particular colour, it was more the spec for the price point that caught my eye.

    Used S3, First Time Owner, What to Look For ?

    Hi, yes I appreciate it is expensive but a search on AutoTrader doesn't seem to offer anything better for cheaper. Do you have any suggestions where else to look, i have tried PH and Audi but no joy. To be honest most of the used cars on AT are vastly over priced given the chip shortage as I...

    Used S3, First Time Owner, What to Look For ?

    Hi Everyone, I'm looking to purchase an S3 for the wife as a family car/second car, it wont do many miles per week, say around 250 miles for work purposes and then use of a weekend but having not owned an S3 before I'm not quite sure what to look for. Spec wise it needs to have the heated seats...

    My A3 8V TFSI ran 198bhp??

    ^Same here, i think its only the S3 boys who will be uploading those weekly. I bought this with the intention of keeping standard but i really think a remap would be greta on the 1.8 TFSi.

    My A3 8V TFSI ran 198bhp??

    What type of Dyno was it ? I have always tried to use DynoDynamics rolling roads in the past as the figures as generally spot on. I did however used to take the Focus RS to a place in Northwhich where they had a Hub Dyno and that was bang on perfect, i even took it to 2 other dynos and they...

    Heated seats - It's getting cold - Do I need them?

    I have the standard S-Line seats in mine and i think they are great. Warm in the winter and cool in the summer as leather is cold in the winter and oftn sticky in the summer. If i would have had the chance to spec mine up tho i would have gone for leather and heated seats but can honestly say i...

    1.4 TFSI Dump Valve?

    Pretty sure it will come with a recirc-valve not a dump valve as standard. Ive been there and done it before but that was on a highly modified car and to be honest if your thinking about putting a dump valve on a 1.4 be it an Audi or not you will look like a complete burk. Do not do it, there's...

    Hamster's take on the A3 Saloon - "Meh"

    I totally agree with you there, youve hit the nail on the head with the reference to the Mini Clubman. I think it was also to compete with the 1 series coupe who in-turn followed suit of 3 door, 5 door, coupe,albeit that the audi is a 3 door. Im still looking forward to having a look around...

    2013 A3 1.8 TFSI remap ?

    Mine is a manual so it wont be an issue with the gearbox and as Cuke2u has said if youve ever had a remap on a car it totaly transforms it. huge gains can be had and you very rarely loose any MPG, if anything youll slightly gain a better MPG. I would expect to see 220bhp & 230lb/ft from someone...

    2013 A3 1.8 TFSI remap ?

    It would show up somewhere on the data logs but they would have to prove that the remap had caused the issue you were trying to claim against. If you go with someone bug like Revo or Bluefin you would just give them a call to sort any issues caused directly because of the remap, for anything...

    Post Pics Of Your A3/S3 8v In Here

    It should have the S-Line suspension as i now have the dealer sheet with the options listed on it and it doesnt say anything about S-line deletion or Sport added. The car is half on the kerb though so it does make it look a little lower. Im going to try and give it a detail this week and post...

    Biathalon cloth/leather or fine nappa ?

    I would have gone for full leather but as i bought it when i seen it in the showroom it came with what the dealer had specced for it. As for the suroof, again i would have like that but i did get around to looking at one with the sunroof and wasnt sure on it in the end. I did like the extra...
