    Radio refuses to tune and AUX sounds 'tinny'

    Yer you're probably quite right. I wouldn't want to tamper with it myself as knowing my luck I would do something stupid. I'll take it to my local garage and see if they have a techy there who can do a quick fix, if not then i'll have to take it back to Audi for a quick fix later this month! The...

    Radio refuses to tune and AUX sounds 'tinny'

    I'm no expert, but from the images I searched it does indeed appear to be an RNS-E sat nav. It was bought from an audi approved garage and as far as I remember when reading the documents it was not retrofitted, however I do remember the salesman rep there saying that they had to remove the sat...

    Radio refuses to tune and AUX sounds 'tinny'

    So in my 09 reg black S3 the speakers all work (as when I play music off of a CD it sounds crystal clear and sound is coming out of all speakers in the car). However, there are two main issues which I haven't got round to dealing with: 1) the radio will scan and not find any stations wherever I...

    Big problem with my audio system!

    OK, so the radio will not tune any station (it seeks, but finds nothing). Second problem is both the iPod dock and the aux (both of which work), the surround sound does not work. I checked the 'balance' and it is even, yet all the sound seems to come from the left and nothing from the...

    'Wooshing sound of air being released upon acceleration and going over bumps, normal?

    Cheers, I actually quite like the sound now, to be honest! Such a great car, very happy with it so far, just need to get the radio working as it won't scan or locate any stations!

    'Wooshing sound of air being released upon acceleration and going over bumps, normal?

    Judging by some of the threads I have read, seems it could be some sort of an air leak? Either way I'll have to book it in to the local garage to see what's going on, sadly there's not an Audi garage near where I am now (back at university)

    'Wooshing sound of air being released upon acceleration and going over bumps, normal?

    Not sure whether I like or don't like the sound that my S3 (09 reg with new brake pads) makes when accelerating…usually when it gets by 3 revs or so I get a 'chhh' sound as it sounds like air is released, from where I am unsure as I am not very technically savvy when it comes to the S3 yet...

    F**king twats

    That's a load of s*** mate. You're probably looking at around £150-200 for a respray depending on how deep the scratches actually are. People really do seem to have a chip on their shoulder and get jealous of these stunning looking cars.

    Audi S3 quattro 3dr (2010 reg)

    Hmm, don't think so as it's been purchased through an Audi garage and no mention was made of it, nor on the papers. I think perhaps it's just the way I am changing the gears, does nobody else experience a similar reaction when chaging up from 1st gear?

    Audi S3 quattro 3dr (2010 reg)

    Cheers for the help with the radio. Another more general thing with regards to the car itself (and a question that will make me sound like an absolute newbie), when I make an effective change from 1st to 2nd gear (going for optimal acceleration), I notice that if I get it right the car launches...

    Audi S3 quattro 3dr (2010 reg)

    Ah OK, is there a way to correct this to be able to get access to the stations?

    Audi S3 quattro 3dr (2010 reg)

    OK so I tried that, no success. Only option on set up I could find was for 'repeat'. The system is reading the iPod in the dock as a 'CD' and all the songs (despite them all being named on the iPod itself) come up as 'tracks'. It's not exactly a major issue, just a minor preference I guess.

    Audi S3 quattro 3dr (2010 reg)

    Sorry, got yet another question (thought I may as well bump up this thread rather than create a new one). Music. So, I have an ipod plugged into the doc in the S3, and it will come up with tracks on the screen and I am able to flick through them with my steering wheel, but it will only get the...

    Audi S3 quattro 3dr (2010 reg)

    OK, so with some harder braking seems the brakes are getting better now! One thing I was also thinking about was the fog lights on the S3, do any of you have them on on a clear night too? I think it might be illegal, but I do feel fog lights and regular beam lights look sick at night, or is that...

    Audi S3 quattro 3dr (2010 reg)

    Hey mate, that may have been my car haha. It's 09, not 10 got that wrong!! I thought it was 10 due to the onboard sat nav system, which seems to only usually be on 10 reg's or later. It's a good looking car! Will give the advice given a go over the next few days and hopefully the sound will die...
