    Replacement Turbo and Rear Diff

    Morning all, I picked my S3 up yesterday after it went in to Audi for a few bits buy they also gave me some alarming news. My rear diff is shot and the turbo is on the way out. The price to have these rectified is over £4k. Has anyone changed the rear diff or turbo on their car? I can't afford...

    What mileage has everyone's car done? When is enough enough?

    Bit of a random question but my S3 is close to the 141k mileage mark and over the past 6 months I have started replacing tired parts in the engine bay. The latest edition is the huge pipe that connects to the air filter as it was old and the smaller pipes that come off it had collapsed. Also, I...

    Engine not getting warm

    Morning, I fitted the 2.0 TFSI coil pack last night which has sorted my misfire problem but I have noticed over the past week that the engine has stopped getting warm when driving, the gauge gets 1 notch above cold. I thought that would have been due to the coil pack but sadly not. It doesn't...

    Replacement Front Lights

    Evening all, I need to replace my front lights, the surrounds, not the bulbs. They have gone very foggy and the light the xenons put out is terrible due to the plastic being so foggy. Anyone know where I can get some cheap replacements or have some to sell me? I have a 2002 S3. Cheers Will

    Replacement front and rear S3 badges

    As above, I'm trying to get my hands on replacement badges for my S3. I have a 2002 model so the badges are slightly different and the ones I've bought on eBay so far either are not right or the quality has been terrible. Has anyone got any links? Cheers Will

    Stuttering on idle and under power

    Morning all, Just had a terrible drive into work in my S3. The past couple of weeks the idle when cold has been very poor and I've had to apply a little throttle to keep it from cutting out. This morning the car started fine but under power it would stutter. I had a similar issue to this once...

    Just bought an S3 but there are a couple of niggles...

    Hi all, I've owned my S3 2 weeks tomorrow (20/03) and so far it has been excellent. I don't know a lot about these cars so I'll list off the concerns I have and the few niggles I want to address. The car has 133k miles on the clock and has a good service history at the same garage for most of...

    Hi all (from Newmarket, Cambridgeshire)

    Hi all, Got myself a 2002 Audi S3 a couple of weeks ago. It's the BAM engine edition and so far I'm starting to wonder why I haven't had one of these sooner! Joined up as there are a few things that annoy me about the car and like any car I own, I was to know all I can about it. Cheers Will
