    Haldex pump

    Mines was the opposite and was the rear wheels spinning (dont ask me why), anyway car was under used car warranty, so I had roadside come out and check and I refused to drive it, once recovered to Audi they confirmed it was the Haldex pump and everything was done under warranty.

    Smelly Aircon help

    Yep, tried this at least a dozen times, still no change. I gave up today and just booked the car in with Audi, first appointment was Thursday next week, I've never heard of the above, BUT I'll defo put this forward as an option when the car is in, cheers.

    Smelly Aircon help

    So coming back to this, I was told by Audi I could book the car in, but if they couldn't find anything then I'd be charged £75 for an inspection. I have now changed the cabin filter (with the aid of a youtube video), I've completed 2 full air con cleaners and the smell is still there, albeit...

    Facelift It's finally here !!!!!!!!

    Cracking looking car, Navarra is my favourite by far and I love that you’ve stuck with the chrome and not went for black pack as I think it’s a classier look

    Smelly Aircon help

    So the smell has changed from being very potent to the smell what I can only describe as smelly socks! No idea how that can happen so suddenly, going to call Audi tomorrow and see what they say.

    Smelly Aircon help

    I'm not too clued up on the whole inside and out of cars but shouldn't that be changed as part of the service?

    Smelly Aircon help

    I've done a search and read posts on similar issues, however doesn't seem to point to a single solution. The car only done this when I had driven around a 30 mile trip, as soon as I got back into the car to complete the return journey there was an instant strong smell, like cat p*ss, now like...

    My doubts seem confirmed

    Never had anything like this with mines mate, on the plus side I done a launch last night to test and wow! I didn’t a second, “just to be sure” I’d definitely say the car is putting more power down aswell.

    My doubts seem confirmed

    This is the problem, the car I bought in October was a 64 plate, though it had only covered 10,000 miles, so it seems it should be set not just on mileage but age aswell.

    My doubts seem confirmed

    Sounds almost like for like for what happened to me. They said the pump was blocked, so they replaced it, I’m not very technical at the best of times, so can’t really go into anymore detail than that. Having the warranty was really amazing, couldn’t fault the service start to finish, had a...

    My doubts seem confirmed

    Update 02/02/2019 so I now have the car back, for the commentators regarding tyres, fronts were 6.1 & 6.2, rears were 3.2 & 3.6 I think we can all agree there the tyres weren't the problem, although has highlighted to me the rears will need replaced shortly. The Audi dealer report states that...

    My doubts seem confirmed

    So I've had the Audi mobile technician come out to the car, at first he said there was likely a software update for the car and this is what the issue was, thought this was unlikely but let him plod on, 10mins later get a call to go back out.. this is the report he has given "Suspect Haldex...

    My doubts seem confirmed

    UPDATE: I've called Audi, and because I have roadside and something else, an Audi technician is on his way will be with me within 30mins according to my text, also spoke to a tech at Audi through a mutual friend who said the haldex being blocked was a common problem he had seen loads of it...

    My doubts seem confirmed

    So today... in Scotland like most places it's extremely icy, I've just managed to come out my car park and the rear just slid and when I put my foot down, nothing, but traction control. Again when I accelerate all I'm getting is traction control and a shake at the back like the rear wheels are...

    I finally sourced one... S3 Saloon

    Thought I'd post a bit of an update, nothing much done to the car since I bought it bar some privacy added. Finally got round to giving it a proper clean and must say its in immaculate condition apart from what looks like a very minor break in the paint on the rear bumper where someones bumped...

    "Pulling" issue

    Thanks all, I was going to put it in somewhere locally for a rolling road to see if its producing power and delivering as it should from the factory. I should have added I'm typically in "Comfort" mode. The best was to describe it is if you've heard a clutch slipping in a manual car, however...

    "Pulling" issue

    Not sure if it's just my imagination, not had the car long but when I am putting the foot down, more on colder starts the engine seems to be revving, but there doesnt seem to be equivalent pull to noise. Its an S3 saloon S-tronic with 10k miles. Is this normal, am I imagining it? Is there any...
