    Hi guys. Very long time since I've been on here as I sold my S3 about 6 years ago! I've currently got a BMW 330 Clubsport but have found myself looking at the C5 S6. I am starting to find having a coupe a bit of a pain in the **** (its a nightmare for the dog!) Have seen a few ads for the C5...

    S3 Headlights not working

    Ive put some 6000K xenon bulbs in my s3, now when i turn the lights on they flash once and go off, if i turn them off and restart they flash again. Any ideas? Are the old ballasts not powerfull enough for them or something?

    S3 Remove headlight.

    Ive taken the bumper and undone the screws but cant get the headlight out, it seems that the ballast is getting stuck on the slam panel and i cant seem to get it out through wiggling. DO i need to take something else off?

    Oil Questions

    In my S3's manual, it says to check oil once the car is warmed up? Is this right? Im only asking because with all my other cars ive always checked it about 5 mins after the engine or before i go anywhere in it so that all the oil is in the sump (which i assumed would give me a proper reading on...

    S3 Xenons Dim

    Ive just driven my S3 in the dark and on dipped beam the lights seem very dim (much worse than the xenons on my astra GSI) I read a common problem is that the xenons point towards the ground and fear this may be the problem with mine. Im fitting new bulbs as one light is more yellow than...
