    S3 not warming up inside

    Thanks John, yes am thinking something like that, but as OK last year and Audi dealer would have drained the system in the summer (when i didn't need / use the heater) to change the Thermostat housing, I am thinking maybe an air lock, so may try the flush first before replacing the matrix. None...

    @hopgop1, Did you ever find the cause of this? (sounds like the same problem I am having)

    S3 not warming up inside

    I am a bit puzzled :think: I have a 2017 S3 where the heater inside the car is very slow to warm up in the winter . This makes demisting or defrosting a slow operation in the cold mornings and using the heated seats a must! at first i thought maybe the thermostat was stuck open (or more...

    Audi A3 2005 boot lock problems help

    Not much help but my 2007 A3 sportback used to do a similar thing intermittently in the winter, where the boot open light would stay on (with the boot closed) and the boot would then ONLY open with the key fob, not the switch. Never got to solve it but Audi techy that serviced it was a common...

    S4 is diesel. Is S3 next??!!

    Damo, perhaps the current S3 isn't a bit a bit laggy compared to the older cars (you don't mention what) however IMHO compared to the a modern TDI or a petrol car with a smaller turbo it certainly is, as they can pull hard from 1.5 k rpm. what I am saying is if you can combine the...

    S4 is diesel. Is S3 next??!!

    My 2p worth...Having come from an 2.0 150BHP A3 S line TDI to a 310BHP FL S3, second thing you notice about the S3 is how thirsty it is (the first is how f*****g fast it is!). I did a 200 mile motorway journey at ~ 80mph to pick up the S3 in the TDI at an ave of 55mpg and the same return...

    Wheel nut cover confusion

    Yes mate I did but it already had black nut covers so they went with the wheels when painted, problem is they have discoloured due to the wheel cleaner used

    Wheel nut cover confusion

    Hi confused 2017 FL S3 owner here. Like others I have lost a few of the wheel nut covers since buying the car and covering about 1500 miles, so as advised in another post, I tried to purchase a set of “genuine” Audi covers on line. Now the original set of nut covers I have with the car are...

    Pressure washer reccomendations please......

    Jassy, Thanks for taking the time to explain! OK, so I guess you wash the shampoo off with the washer, spray on the Hydrophobic solution and then wash off again. That's my crimble pressie from the wife sorted :-)

    Pressure washer reccomendations please......

    Cheers Jassy, yes been reading in the above thread about the foam lances, but being a alien to pressure washers, what's the drill with the car. Pre wash with pressure washer with just water? then Citrus wash first, then allow to soak (how long?) then snow foam (again how long do you leave on?)...
