Just posting a brief update to my climate issues. It's been in to the garage and they've narrowed it down to the compressor switch or the compressor itself. Apparently they're unable to determine which of the two it is so given that the switch is the cheaper of the two parts I've opted to have...
The door closure sensor is part of the door lock mechanism so if you do need to replace it you have to replace the whole lock mechanism. The fixes suggested previously do work... for a time. The time they'll work for cannot be quantified. I didn't have any success with WD-40 or GT-85. If you...
Just undertaken this fix myself. Mine had come uncoupled in the trunking located in the engine bay. As a footnote for S3 owners - to remove the trunking lid to get at the coupling on the washer pipe you first have to remove the strut brace. This is simply a matter of removing 3 nuts per side on...
Very unlikely... I've had a myriad of performance cars prior to this one including a Porsche Boxster and a BMW B10 Alpina. All of which I threw far too much money at modifying. I'm actually enjoying the car in its standard guise... for now! Never say never. Thanks for the link.
Hi NHN and Sandra, many thanks for the welcome. I'll post some piccies shortly though my car is, to the best of my knowledge, totally standard with black bodywork and cream leather Recaro's. I'm based in Wigan, Lancashire.

Hi Phil, I'm no expert so hopefully somebody with greater technical knowledge of your particular model can help. With that out of the way I think Relay 106 has something to do with the ABS rather than the Immobiliser. If that's correct than that's not your issue. Suspect more information would...
Hi all, just a brief message to say hello... Hello! I'm relatively new to Audi ownership and have a series 1 S3 which is currently developing faults quicker than I can fix them. Being honest I've joined the site to pick the brains of other owners who may well have experienced the problems I'm...
I am new to Audi ownership and have a fault with the air conditioning on my 2002 S3 which I hope somebody may be able to assist me with? Essentially it is not blowing cold and I have done the following so far:
Checked pressure at air con filling point = reading zero psi
Re-gassed system...
