    Under trays

    Hi all, I've had my 14 plate S3 around a month now, apart from the water pump failing she's been running like a dream. However, there's always been a rattle to it which I've noticed more as it's been warmer and having the window open, its from the centre of the car underneath on rough roads /...

    Hi all, Two weeks in of ownership and it was all going so well.. ha! I gave the car some beans on the way home earlier and all of a sudden the red coolant light came on (2014 S3 with 82k on the clock). I drove it carefully home keeping an eye on the engine temp and then checked the coolant...

    Semi indicator rear light mod - just discovered my new S3 has them...

    Hi all, Hope everyones having a good start to the week. I picked up my 14 plate S3 last night, it drives like new, I'm very pleased. The poor seller just spent £1200 on it before he handed it over as there was slight misting in one of the dampers so they've both been replaced along with with...

    Thoughts after re-map and DPF removed

    I've just had the car re-mapped and had the DPF removed. I'm sure it's faster but doesn't feel faster as there's no jolt when the turbo kicks in, just a smoother delivery from lower revs which I'm sure is a good thing? My question is, people who have also had this done, do you feel the same...

    Occasional starting issue (re-mapped & DPF removed TDI 170)

    Hi all, I went to start my car today, about 24 hours since I last drove it. It started straight away but then spluttered and stalled. Then wouldn't start after three attempts and sounded like the battery was about to die. I waited a minute and finally it started but with a load of smoke coming...

    New Audi owner, couple of questions and the dreaded DPF topic, if you please

    Evening all, I've recently purchased a very nice 56 plate Audi A3 2.0 TDI S Line GMBH, I love the look of it as it's a little different. I paid just over £7,000 for her, she's black with leather, bose and the RNS-E sat nav. Full history with 88,000 miles. The only downside was that there was...
