My S3 FL does it, seems to do it a bit more than the pre-FL S3 (though I've never timed either, so...!) The fan does seem quite noisy. I don't recall the fan on my V8 S5, bought new in '08, being as active or noisy.
@MikeSel^ It's easy to spend other people's money eh?! :) Ha ha... We'll get James in an Audi one of these days.
@Mac135 $76000 AUD is over £47000, right? (and the pound isn't worth what it was). Ouch. A mate of mine moved to Oz a few years ago and he was shocked at the price of just about...
Hi Mike! James told me that one of his friends was waiting on a delivery! A small world indeed :) Are you going with manual or automatic? I had a manual V8 S5 a while ago (after a DSG 3) and can't say I've missed changing every gear myself in the years that have followed! And launch control is a...
@Mac135 I bought the 70-200 F2.8L II at the same time and that is a really nice lens! A bit heavy perhaps but I love the quality. I wish they hadn't cropped 4K video on the mark IV (or gone for motion JPEG either, meh) but it is perfectly workable (and the crop gives extra reach which can help...
Thanks for the kind comments! I'm pleased with it so far... I've just slung some Meguiar's wax on and it seems to be doing the job. I've previously had Phantom Black Audis so it is nice to have a change :)
Enjoy your new car @Ja5on
PS to the photographers I used a 5D mark IV with 24-70 F2.8L...
Another 12GB/12 month 3 user here. Twenty-something quid on eBay. Bin it when used and buy another (cheaper than topping it up). Bung it in the SIM slot and it works immediately!
Hi everyone
My S3 arrived las week so I thought I'd post a few pictures. There don't seem to be all that many Panther Black photos so I thought I'd try to redress the balance :friendly wink:
It has matrix lights, which are great...
and the must have Audi beam puddle lights too!
It really...
My 2014 (now sold) Sportback had the same check last week when it was serviced. The guy I dealt with said they have been told to look for a particular number(s?) on the pump and if it is on the list then it should be replaced. I guess it is a faulty batch.
Just been for a drive in the dark to give the matrix lights a workout. Very impressed: they work extremely well and respond quickly to other road users. It is like magic, I think it must be some form of witchcraft that's behind it?! :)

My old car was sold yesterday so we're currently a one Audi...
First post(!)
I tried to find on the web the maximum supported AAC bitrate and couldn't; however my car is happily playing ("True") [T]VBR Apple-encoded AAC files at the highest quality setting. Foobar2000 reports that the bitrate of these files often peaks (quite some way) over 320kbps but I...
