    Tyres

    Thks. Yes , I have concluded to hang onto it. Think I will treat myself to a tom tom as Nav well out of date. Thks did consider PS5. Does it have much rim protection . So at least light brushes with kerb won't damage my wheels ? Thks

    Tyres

    Hi , haven't been around for a while. Bought my S3 new Nov 2015 and still loving it. Best car I ever owned, and longest ownership. The only pain is kerbing wheels. With neatly 9 years of minor damage time to bite the bullet. Going to get it done soon as need new tyres all round. Currently have...

    Covid 19 and car sitting idle

    Nice one ST200 , thanks. I usually have mine connected to my 51 year old mgb gt. Interesting that you had it connected with the car locked . That has given me confidence to use it on mine and our VW Up runaround.

    Covid 19 and car sitting idle

    I know small issue in the current crisis. I cannot justify using my S3 as local supermarket is 7 mins walk away. I have been thinking of starting it every couple of weeks and sitting at fast idle till oil is up to temp. What do you all think ?

    And Audi do not clean the filter! What is the point of a filter left dirty. Very odd.

    Dealer issue - Haldex / rear differential

    I am sorry to here that. Leaves a bad taste with Audi Was your indie friend a Audi approved independent? If he is there may be still some recourse.

    Dealer issue - Haldex / rear differential

    Maybe worth investing in a Dekra survey and inform both Audi and the indie that is what you are doing. Think also worth involving the indie . They may be insured against this type of issue. If fault cannot be proven there should be a compromise between all parties.

    1.5 TFSI Engine Software Update

    With the problem coming up to 2 years old , I personally do not think there is a real fix. They are messing around with software to mask the problem . Do not be surprised to see this engine disappear and be replaced with something different. Remember they have not launched it in the US for fear...

    S3 Twitchy at high speed

Have a 5 year warranty, but as low mileage and now have a great indy to look after it , thinking of waiting till new A3...
