Clutch pedal went to the floor while driving this morning, no loud noises or cracks, quick look at the pedal in the dark and both the pedal and the white plastic clip look ok at a glance. Limped the car home with no clutch at all and when I arrived there was a faint smell of burning clutch...

I have a very light misting of custard on the oil cap, some small dark specs in the header tank (no custard) and my coolant temp gauge was like a yoyo today. Am i looking at the start of head gasket failure?

After unlocking the car the boot opens?! I can hear the lock operating as if i'd used the boot open button by the number plate lights. Even if i get out and shut it the motor goes again and it opens again! This obvioulsy isnt good as the motor keeps persisting in opening the boot any time the...

My car is seemingly loosing 5.9L of washer fluid over night?! Also i've noticed my headlamp washers arent quite closed, they look like they want to push in another 5mm or so, is this related? Its above 0° out there and i 'did' have a strong mix in there so nothing should have been frozen. Also...

Just tried to book my car in for an oil change (not Audi) and was told they don't stock the correct oil, i'm guessing thats because Audi use long life oil? I'd rather do regular changes with a regular oil but what should i stick in there, 5W30 fully synthetic? Also how much will i need, 4L?

Have got one of these: Before i go pulling my bumper off, am i going to find holes under the car to bolt it to or am i going to have to drill my own? Had a quick look under the car earlier but cannot see anything other than the exhaust box and exhaust heatshield, do they have to be removed...

I need a gauge mount for my S3, anyone have any pics/details of what they're using? Have had a quick search.

Since having the car mapped it whistles under load (4th or 5th), well its more like a quick sharp intake of air briefly at a certain boost level, it comes in very quick, and stops very quick too. Its not a spooling sound and it defo dosnt sound right, and i'm having a right nightmare finding it...

I don't think for one minute any of you will be able to diagnose my rattle but its really annoying me! I have a very tinny light rattle that seem to come from under the car on the passenger side at the rear, happens when i'm going over bumps or decelerating, so dosnt seem engine/brake/drivetrain...

My car started revving between gear changes, unplugged the clutch pedal switch gave it a clean and put it back and the problem stopped instantly, but a day later it was playing up again. Fitted a new switch today but no change??!! I'm 99% sure the problem is switch related as it seems to...

Anyone have a detachable (stealth) tobwar fitted to an S3? If so, any info would be great as i need to find one.

My S3 has a little problem with the revs hanging, especially when giving it a bit of stick between 1st & 2nd gear. Should i be looking at the telescopic switch on the clutch pedal arm or could it be something else?

My armrest is stuck in the up position (2003 S3), when i press the button it feels like one side is as it should be but the other side is locked. I have no problem taking it apart but cant figure out how to, have popped the circular covers off the sides but the whole assembly is held together by...

I have read the FAQ before posting but couldnt find what im after. I want to know the differences between a facelift and pre facelift S3 before i buy one.
