When headlights are off, or DLR running, my dashboard lights have a mind of their own. Sometimes they're of, sometimes bright, sometimes dim...! Any ideas if this is a setting dependent on how fast I'm driving? I want them on constantly.. Thanks

I'm in the process of arranging a remap on my 2008 facelift S3 with W8 Performance, and can't work out whether my Diverter Valve needs changing. The valve that's currently fitted says 'G' on it, and I was under the impression that it needed to be upgraded to a Revision D... but I've been told...

I really feel like my 2009 S3 has a lack of torque in Gear 1. It just doesn't pull like the other gears, and torque drops considerably at 6k RPM. Is this normal? My other gears start kicking in around 3k RPM until red line.

Is it possible to change what the lower portion of my dashboard computer says. I would rather it told my something useful, like oil temp, as opposed to what gear it thinks I should be in! Thanks

So I've had my S3 for a few weeks now, and got to be honest and say I've already got used to the power, and it doesn't feel particularly responsive to me. This could possible be due to me coming out of a BMW 135i which was twin turbo and had over 300bhp... I was wondering if the Stage 1 remap...

Hey, Recently purchased a 2009 Facelift S3, and had a quick query regarding the clutch. I've noticed that for the first inch the clutch is pressed nothing actually happens, it doesn't affect the clutch whatsoever. It just feels like it's on a little bit of a spring, and then afterwrds you can...

Someone has managed to put a small scratch (about 3/4 inch) on my glovebox! Not happy about this, and it really stands out. The glove box is a textured plastic and I'm finding it difficult to think of a way to hide the scratch as much as possible! Any ideas?

Hey, so after getting some great advice on this forum, I finally went and bought myself an S3. I'm looking forward to going out for a long drive today! I had a couple of questions about the clutch. The car has only had one owner and only 30k miles so I'm really hoping what I'm about to ask...

Hey, I'm about the purchase a November 2008 S3 that's in almost perfect condition (1 owner and 30k miles). I've had a vehicle inspection on it by Dekra, and the inspector said there is an oil leak between the engine and gearbox, which is probably the rear main oil seal. This is the only fault...

Hoping you guys can help. I'm on the verge of purchasing a November 2008 Audi S3, when I did some digging on the forum and read about the Valve Spring issues and similiar (TSB). It's got me quite concerned as I'll be purchasing the car without a warranty... Are there any mechanical /...

Hey, I'm planning on viewing / potentially buying an S3 in Manchester on Tuesday and was wondering if there were any mechanics free that could come and check the car out with me? Thanks!

Hey, Been looking to buy an S3 with Nav, but noticed that cars without Nav are up to £2k cheaper, and to me a sat nav isn't worth that much! (Can always use my iPhone) I was wondering what the standard head unit is like on a facelift 2008/9 S3. I presume the sound quality is the same? (with...

Hoping you can help me work out whether this S3 is a late 2008 facelift or not? I thought it was based on the silver air conditioning dials, however the alloys look older: 2008 Audi S3 2.0T FSI Quattro Hatchback 3d. | eBay Thanks

Hello, I'm looking to purchase a 2009/2010 S3 which comes equipped with the Navigation system, however doesn't seem to have the bluetooth interface (I thought it was all one unit). Any ideas if it's possible to have bluetooth fitted, and if so whether it's likely to be expensive? Thanks

Hi, Would anyone with an S3 and Black / Red Leather interior be kind enough to post a couple of photos? It's a strange combination which I haven't seen in the flesh yet and was hoping to get a preview! With Thanks.

Hey, I was under the impression that Sat Nav became standard when the S3 was facelifted in late 2008, but after searching through some used cars, it seems this isn' the case! When did it become a standard feature? Thanks.

Hey guys, hoping I could pick your brains as a little bit confused! I'm struggling to work out why the TTS list is £5k more than the S3. Apart from the added few bhp (which a map will do anyway), it has 3 less seats, AND less equipment as standard (such as navigation). Is the increased price...
