Hey guys, as the topic states my S3 creaks at slow speeds when I lift off the throttle. It sounds terrible. It's hard to pin point where it is coming from but I'm pretty sure it doesn't do it when I'm giving the throttle even the slightest of touches. Has anyone come across this before? Thanks...

Hey guys, nice quick easy question. With the engine off should the flap be open on an S3? I done the flap mod ages ago but reverting to standard for a service tomorrow. Can't remember if it needs to be open or closed though I think open. Map is being uninstalled as I write ......boo!

Ok, so I'm running standard suspension on my 2012 S3 with 12mm spacers on the rear and even with the arch screw removed, I still rub. That's without anyone in the rear too. Wouldn't dare put anyone in the back! There's a build up of rubber around the tyre now. Thinking about swapping my front...

Guys, as the title says, does anyone know the correct torque setting for the S3 sump plug? Oh, and does the plastic filter housing have to be torqued in too? Just about to start so if anyone knows off the top of their head that'd be great! Tried searching but can only find the value for the ECS...

Hey guys, I'm planning on a oil change this weekend as its been about 5k since its first service and I've had it remapped since. I've got a few long drives to Aberdeen to do so thought this would be a good time to do it. Anyway, I don't suppose anyone has the part numbers for the oil filter...

Hey guys, as the title suggests I plan on jacking the S3 up with a trolley jack and hockey puck arrangement. I want to fit the spacers I've had sat in my house or months! I refuse to use the scissor jack after nearly losing my hand from my wrist when my M3 collapsed off one a while back. Very...

Guys, I really need your help. I started getting juddering wipers on my 2012 S3 a while back so I took it to the dealers. They kinda said its not covered by warranty but agreed to replace the wipers. Anyway a few hundred miles later and it started again. I thought it might be something to do...

Hey fellas, Just looking at getting some advice and maybe some reassurance from some of you guys who are running Stg 1 or above. My car is an S3 S-tronic, just over a year old, recently serviced and as far as I can tell, in good health. I decided to take the plunge and fit a Neuspeed P-flo CAI...

Hey guys, can anyone tell me what this little pipe is for on the underside of the engine cover? Not sure if it is suppose to be connected to something or not? It's right underneath the panel filter.

Hey guys, as the title asks, anyone used a good mod friendly indie around the Newcastle area? Cheers in advance

Hey guys, Happy New Year to you all. With all this rain at the moment I am noticing that every time I open the drivers door after it's been stood for a while, there seems to be a flow of water running from the bottom of the door. It doesn't come into the car, it just seems to build up until the...

Hey Guys, Ok, so I am thinking about fitting a CAI to my 2012 S3 but I have a question. I have been watching Youtube videos of people demonstrating their intake noises by accelerating hard and then lifting off giving that kinda dump valve / chatter noise. I'm guessing that would happen every...

Hey guys, Anyone had trouble doing this? When I used Tesco the last time I had a remapped car they done it all instantly over the phone. I called Admiral today and they said the request was blocked and that it will need to be sent to the underwriter whch could take a few days. What a pain! I...

Hey guys, Did any of you guys get a Chauffeur key with your car pack? I never but the service guy at Audi said I should have. I went in asking if they could supply a manual key that I can stick in my wetsuit when surfing and thats when he said about this key. He then said I should go to a...

Hey all, after owning a 3 door Gti and then a M3 coupe and pretty much never carrying rear passengers, I decided to fork out for a brand new 3 door S3 in Jan this year. Since then I seem to always have people clambering into the back seats.....typical. I really wish I had opted for the SB. I am...

Hey guys, My MY12 S3 is in getting a few bits and bobs looked at under warranty. Firstly, they are replacing some seals to reduce the wind noise from the drivers door / window. I know there has been a few threads about this so hopefully Audi Silverlink will find a solution. Second issue is a...

Hey guys, I was out in the car today with the parcel shelf out and the seats down. I've noticed that when I'm in 'D' travelling around 30mph + in 4th there is a distinct clicking noise when gently coming on and off the accelerator pedal. It does in in 5th too when travelling a little faster. If...

Hi guys, My RNSE has been playing music from my Ipod just fine since I got my car until I used the 'control' option in the Media screen. Now it selects a track but it won't play. These are tracks that have worked in the past. It seems to freeze on the track name for a few seconds then it moves...

Hey guys, as the title states my S3 which I've had since Jan this year has started creaking. The noise is coming from the upper door area and it stops when I put the window down slightly. It started on the passenger door after the first time I washed it but now the drivers door does it too. I...

Hey guys, bit of a strange one. I haven't had my S3 for long so haven't really been out for a blast until today. I've noticed that when I drive along fast B roads and cars pass me in the opposite direction there is a clicking noise coming from the rear of my car! It's only if the car passing me...
