    Audi S3 8V 2014 LED lights or not

    Hi I bought my Audi S3 8V 2014 from new. I specced LED lights, but was surprised to find out that the the Headlight needed manual adjustment and isnt LED. I am baffled. I paid £795 extra for LED lights. How can I confirm they are LED, surely LED dont need manual adjustment! Maybe only part of...

    2017 FL RS3 Questions

    Never been flashed or have an issue with Matrix lights. They are pretty clever, effectively feels like full beam is on permanently and lights up the whole road - they (on my 2017 RS3) are a million times better than the LED lights on my 2014 S3 (which when in auto mode, effectively switches the...

    £599 for brake pads

    But front pads have always been expesnive as you need so many. For my 2017 RS3 saloon last year, I tried lots of places including main dealers and they all were fairly similar prices for either stock front disks/pads or stock front disks/ uprated pads eg Ferrodo DS2500. All were approx...

    RS3 Brake Pads

    Mine passed but the idiot tester put an advisory that the sensor had been cabled tied off. Luckily they didnt fail it, then i wouldve lost my rag - ridiculous. How on earth did we cope in the old days without sensors.

    RS3 Brake Pads

    Had new stock Audi disks put on my rs3 saloon and Ferodo DS2500 pads. However, the pads dont have a wear sensor. Apprarently it can be an MOT Fail. Just so people are aware.

    Looking for RS Number Plate Clips

    Not surprise they went under. They talk about ugly plinth, but thats far more ugly and tacky. Prefer the audi sport holder myself (though i'd prefer it if it was a little less bulky).

    Audi extended warranty

    wow i managed to do a check on the warranty for the rs3 and its coming out at £1100. However, i think this is the normal not renewal rate as im doing the check 2 months before renewal. I did the same for the S3 and it was over £800, when the renewal was £400 ish

    Audi extended warranty

    I know, its alot but its good value to be fair, given how overpriced dealer labour is too Thats the difference between the first 3 years warranty you get with a new Audi and any extended warranty that you get with your warranty or years 4 or 5 on a new build warranty, the first 3 years...

    Audi extended warranty

    Renew it with 30 days of the end of the warranty. Do not wait until after, as it usually doubles. Its well worth having. Our S3 is about £430 i think for the max one £0 excess 10K audi oem parts. I think Warranty direct wanted >£1000 for less cover. It might be worth looking at the all in one...

    Waterless car cleaning

    If you spending that much time drying it, i would defintely consider using pure water rinse instead, no drying needed, just natually dries - i use a 11kg di vessel with pricey resin - i rinse the car for about 15 mins a car, - saves me a 2-3 hours or so drying 4 cars manually - but i am no car...

    Waterless car cleaning

    Why not wash the car normally, then use a pure water rinse. You just need to be quick that’s all. The pure water rinse means the metals in the normal water get washed away, it’s those metals that leave the spots If thats what you are worried about. just need a di vessel with a decent quality...

    Pirelli Tyres - Starting to break up after only 3K miles WTF!!!

    5 years old and 20km miles seems normal for a performance tyre. Performance tyres dont last as long as normal tyres you find on normal cars. If i get 10k miles from a full set id be fine with that. On my peugeot id expect to get over 15K miles / 5 years out of them

    Pirelli Tyres - Starting to break up after only 3K miles WTF!!!

    Thats odd, Pirelli wanted me to see them and test them first before issuing any refund. Not sure how they expected me to do that!
