    Coolant leak

    Where was it leaking from ? MY S3 has a leak at the back of the engine, underneath. It looks like it could be in the area where the turbo coolant lines are. Is this similar to where yours go in ? How long of a fix was it in the garage ?

    What is this leak ?

    I'm now thinking more that it may be water run off from the cowl. If I pour water on the windscreen above this, then the water flow increases, so could just be water runnoff from the windscreen in the end ? Not sure if something is blocked up further inside perhaps

    What is this leak ?

    Hi there, I'm familiar with thermostat / pump leaks etc. but not sure what this one is ?? It's in the back right of the engine bay to the right of the firewall stuff and it feels like felt and the bottom half of it is wet. I've marked it up on the 2 photos.

    2 coolant leaks - advice on second one ?

    Hi there, Well, my new years present on taking the car out of the garage was not one, but two coolant leaks from what I can see. The first one seems to be at the back of the engine in the middle, where a temp sensor goes in to the coolant and from what I've read so far seems to be an O ring...

    EPB releasing itself ?

    Yes, so I think what I am talking about is Hold Assist. I come up to a set of lights, stop, press the brake pedal down and the green light P light comes on in the dash in front of me. Now, on a couple of occasions, this lights has gone out and the car has had no brakes on until I rapidly put my...

    EPB releasing itself ?

    I get a green light on every time I come to a stop and the car holds itself. What has now happened twice is that I've pulled up pressed the brake, the green light comes on and normally this holds until I press the accelerator to take off once more. But twice, it has turned itself off, ie green...

    EPB releasing itself ?

    Hi there, It's weird, I've had 2 occasions now where when sitting in traffic at a red light, where I've pulled up, pressed the brake pedal and the electronic park brake has come on, lights saying it's on etc. Then while I've been sitting, the brake just goes off of it's own accord ! Not sure...

    Oil Service price

    I'm guessing you'd need to go to a SEAT dealer that was not part of the same group as the Audi dealer, as they'd just direct you back up to the Audi dealer. I went to a local SEAT dealer that was not part of the same Audi group. You can even just look at some of the SEAT pricing online and see...

    Oil Service price

    Another one to consider which I've used locally is to get your car serviced at the local Skoda dealer. Exact same VAG group engines and servicing requirements, but substantially cheaper pricing. Mine is under 10 miles from the Audi dealer and 2/3 the price on all services. You can even get the...

    Audi A3 2014 - Android Auto?

    Probably, but looks just like the AliExpress ones, but from someone that has bought one from AliExpress and is buying it on. I understand your concerns about support etc., but all they are doing is buying the exact same thing and selling it to you with a markup. It's £196 from Spain on...

    Audi A3 2014 - Android Auto?

    I'd definately recommend getting @DJAlix to install something like this for you. Having looked at what is involed in putting this in to the car, £45 is a steal for him to do this job for you. If I lived closer, I'd have him do this for me as soon as I could get my hands on one.

    Sat Nav

    This looks quite good. Would it work ok in my 2014 S3 pfl with B&O, large touchscreen ? Any experience of it in these, as I think I'd get one.

    2020 S3 servicing costs (from a newbie, hi!)

    Another option to consider, which most people don't look at, is do you have a local Skoda dealer near you ? Exact same parts / service schedules etc., but i found my local Skoda dealer much cheaper than the Audi dealer for exactly the same services.

    2014 S3, MMI, Nav Plus, Map /MMI updates help ?

    Shame you're not closer, as if it all works fine, then that's a no brainer to get you to do that for me. I think mine is called MMI High ?
