    Heated seats?

    Never saw the point in heated seats, until I got the original TT, which came with them as standard. I've had 5 cars since then, and have specced HS on them all, as has my wife in hers since the TT, wouldn't be without now.

    Car Cam

    There are reports on this site that this camera suffers from resets when stop/start starts, and that if you don't use your car for a couple of days the date/time data is lost and has to be re-entered.

    Bad Photography

    I thought they'd captured the rust on the disc quite well!

    S3 Boost gauge ... why?

    I can't understand this new trend for car manufacturers to omit an engine temperature gauge, and in the case of a high performance engine like the S3's, it's bonkers. A temperature guage tells you of a building engine problem, unlike a light which only tells you the problem has arrived. In a...

    Acoustic windscreen, or not?

    Don't think so, as both Audi UK and the factory say it's an acoustic windscreen.

    Acoustic windscreen, or not?

    Having started this thread in March, my dealer originally said the windscreen was not acoustic, Audi UK said it was, and the factory, after many months also said it was. However, my Pilkington screen did not have either the word Acoustic nor the ear symbol, nor when tapped did it have a deeper...

    What don't you like about your A3

    Yes, there are a number of minor issues, clock display being one, but the one thing that really annoys me is the intrusive tyre noise, and I have standard suspension with 17" wheels and Dunlop tyres.

    What don't you like about your A3

    There is an internal hand grip on the right inside of the boot lid.

    Ordering S3 Glacier Saloon

    In fact, in this weeks Autocar, they discuss the need to replace an LED headlight on the magazines fleet A3 Saloon, which was broken in a car park, and the cost, an astonishing £1173 plus fitting! (and had to wait 3 weeks for the part to arrive)

    Ordering S3 Glacier Saloon

    Lewbo, great spec and the S3 saloon is a superb looking car. I would consider getting the Technology pack instead of SD satnav, you get a larger display with greater resolution, bearing in mind you plan on keeping the car for a while. To help fund this I would suggest you reconsider the LED...

    I So Want These 19's On My S3 Saloon ...

    Each to their own, but to me they look YUK!

    Sport Or Se Suspension?

    Well, I chose the SE suspension with 17" wheels on my Saloon Sport and I'm delighted with it. I'm lucky enough to also drive an R8 and the Saloon suspension is a real treat after the far stiffer suspension of the R8, yet handling is perfectly acceptable. I drove an S3 saloon a couple of weeks...

    Which is better looking - S3 sportback or 3 door S3?

    Saloon, SB then hatch. As for M3 or M4, (I've had an M3 coupe of 2 generations ago), I think they are both equally ugly, though obviously superb mechanically. In fact, I can't think of a single current model BMW that I like! they've completely lost the design plot.

    Air Con condenser - design fault??

    Yeah, that's the thread I had in mind. Good luck, you should get it repaired at no cost to you.

    Air Con condenser - design fault??

    This appears to be a common fault on the A3 8V, and has been discussed recently. I would have thought that such a poor design leading to frequent loss of environment damaging coolant would leave Audi open to legal action.

    6hrs of Hard Graft!

    Great result. Did u find some shade when waxing? Polish is slightly abrasive and so removes a thin layer of clear coat each time it's used, don't you worry about that if you use it every couple of months?

    car arriving with missing spec

    I'm not sure I would want the dealer fitting the front sensors. Are they going to drill the bumper? Are they going to use the Audi factory spec sensors with the correct car colour?

    Acoustic windscreen, or not?

    I'm still trying to get my dealer to get a final answer from Audi Germany as to whether I have an acoustic windscreen, I don't think I have, as there are no markings, and, an acoustic windscreen when tapped with your fingers should sound much duller than tapping a side window, mine sounds the...

    S-Tronic Sport Mode Weird?

    When I had a manual, I expected to use the gearshift and clutch; when I drive an automatic I expect not to have to, that's why I chose it this time. The point you make about the kick down is a good one, I'd forgotten about that will have to try it.

    S-Tronic Sport Mode Weird?

    No, I'll have to try that, have it in Auto at the moment.
