    Lights, camera.....errors?

    One of my number plate bulbs went the other day and I thought it was a perfect opportunity for a small cheap mod. Looking around there seem to be a lot of options available. This did catch my eye though http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=151288051409 Have any of you guys...

    Audi Preston Experiences

    I picked up my motor from Preston Audi. The chap there Ifan (I think) was very friendly and helpful. Only issue I had was they didn't change the name on the warranty which led to a few fun and games. Other than that, all good mate.

    I usually love the smell of petrol but.....

    Wonder if any of you chaps have come across this before. I've just had my S3 back from Audi after they replaced the turbo under warranty and now whenever I'm not moving with the engine on ( traffic lights etc) I get a strong smell of petrol. Anyone else seen this. I'm going to give Audi a...

    My First Turbo.....

    My comment was a little tongue in cheek if im honest. I'll be honest, having a civic type-r beforehand I was adamant I'd stick to a naturally aspirated engine. Having the driven the S3 I was turned pretty quickly. I appreciate what your saying chaps. Plus lets be honest, although the S3 is...

    My First Turbo.....

    What have I missed? What's all this banter between S3 drivers and the 3.2l owners club? A quick scan on the bible that is Parkers shows the 3.2l to be slower, less powerful car. Am I allowed to say that or have I opened a can of worms?

    My First Turbo.....

    Thanks for the replies chaps. I guess this is one of the joys of owning a new motor, learning how to drive it properly. Now all I need is this damn snow to go! The re-map seems like a very popular option, best hope for a decent payrise this year!

    My First Turbo.....

    Hi Chaps/ Chapettes Random question, (although it probably isn't that relevant at the moment) I've got regarding driving a turbo. My previous motor was a Honda Civic Type R and to get it going the only way forward was bouncing off the rev limiter. Don't get me wrong, it was great fun. My...

    Screeching Brakes

    Hi All, After a recent trip to a snowy part of Yorkshire the brakes on my S3 have started squealing. I could always take it to Audi but just wondered what I could try first, any suggestions? Cheers.

    Hello, Hello

    Cheers for the advice chaps! That modding bug is already starting to nibble at me, got my eye on a flat bottom wheel and potentially a device to hook my iPod up. Let the modding begin! PM

    Hello, Hello

    Hi Chaps / Chapettes I've just upgraded my beloved Honda Civic Type-R for a sprint blue 56 Audi S3. That extra 65bhp and a turbo really does make a difference doesn't it. It's pretty savage compared to my CTR. I was wondering whether you guys could point me in the direction of some must read...
