It was in the garage and they investigated the clutch and gearbox to see what the fault was. It was the flywheel that was sticking so they didnt just replace the flywheel, they replaced the clutch AND the flywheel. Sorry that wasnt clear but you would think you would know what i meant

I bought a 6mth old scirocco last year for quite a lot of dosh. I loved the front of the car and the seats but the more i looked at it it was nothing special. THEN they brought out a POLO that looked exactly like it, then the golf which looked like it (and even the new passat looks like it). But...

Hi, i have 2008 57 plate S3, 45k. When you are going from 1st through to 4th the clutch pedal comes up a bit then "kicks" back. When it does this the rev counter drops 500rpm. It can be quite severe but not so much under 2000rpm. I have just had the clutch replaced as the flywheel was sticking...

Thanks pilcob. Just got my car last nite. Love it already

I cant wait to get my s3. Its arriving tue or wed. Got a cherished transfer to go on though which means having to go to glasgow so it could be thur or even fri before i get it on the road! Have taken fri off my work to fit alloys and mudflaps and give it a good clean. Hopefully be out cruisin'...

If it is the throttle body eurocarparts are the cheapest

Id a 2.0 140 tdi quattro with 70k which i intended to keep for many years, i was goin to be changing the oil every 5k but not with the longlife oil. Changing this often would keep it runnin forever just about. Then i sold it!!

Whoops didnt think my thread would get so serious!! I was only asking cos im wondering about my new car. I know an m3 compares to an rs4 but im never goin to have one of them. I just wanted to know if an s3 can put a smile on ur face like an m3 does with the sport button on

Should have said id a 2.0 140 tdi, 05 plate, 87k that had an intermittently lumpy idle but only once it had warmed up. Was getting worse, i never got to the bottom of it. Tried redex a few times. Got rid of the car eventually as i wanted an s3. Car drove fine otherwise, was just at idle u felt it

Injector or the electricals to the injectors? not sure of the lingo but have been told they go often. Just an idea

Well put nealjohns about the financial timebomb waiting to go off. That was it in a nutshell for me. Im hoping i love the s3 more. Its coming tue or wed

Ta for that. The m3 i had was an 03 and it did feel quite dated, it squeaked n rattled, plus it was a convertible and it leaked. I just felt it had the potential for something major to go wrong with it being the kind of car it was and its age and if something went wrong with it itd be VERY...

Hi just wondering if anyone has owned both these cars and what they think about the performance of the two. I was always a bmw person and was aiming for the new 330 convertible, bought an A3, then bought an e46 m3 convertible but didnt have it long cos i loved the audi more. Got rid of the m3...

The new focus looks like the astra

Cheers for that! Think i will give remap a wide berth for a while. just cant wait to drive though i was just reading elsewhere on the forum that audis are the most commonly stolen, esp s models. Will be getting tracker fitted before a remap me thinks!

Hi thank you, ive got 18" gun metal new rs4 alloys with machined/polished face to go on, converting the coin tray to a cupholder and sat nav plus. That might be a few months away though. I bought my s line quattro just in september last year and bought s3 side skirts, rear valance and chrome...

Hi was this the s3 roundabout the glasgow area, done about 50k or 60k odd miles? If it was i was looking at that myself, was very very nice but i hadnt sold my own yet so couldnt make a move for it. It was only 25 mile up the road from me as well! I ended up getting one in Nottingham. Coming by...

Hi i got my 2006 A3 2.0 TDi 140 S line quattro remapped at a cost of £325. As soon as it was done my turbo was whining at idle which it had never done. Car had covered 70k. My mpg was rubbish afterwards. Cood scrape 44mpg sitting at 50 odd mph on motorways. Regretted it from day one but...

Hi i have bought myself an 08 57 plate S3 with 44k. Had an 05 A3 2.0 TDi sport 140 then an 06 A3 2.0 TDi 140 S Line but decided i dont do enough miles to need a diesel and wanted to have some fun instead so bought the S3. My 06 S Line had done 70k and needed a clutch (just the flywheel but best...

Hi ive just bought one too but dont have it yet. Had an a3 2.0 tdi sport then a 2.0 tdi s line now the s3. Hopefully get it next week. Hoping its ok, no warning lights or needing a clutch at 70k like my last one!
