    S3 dirty exhaust tips solution!

    I've covered nearly 4k miles since taking delivery last October and after a couple of k miles I was concerned by the state of the chrome tips. I trawled the net for some ideas and I found an American U tube video in which they used P21S Polishing Soap on the pipes of a BMW and the crud came off...

    Audi S3 not living up to my expectations

    I absolutely agree with Steeve. I bought my S3 as the best compromise, consistent with my family profile and most importantly what I want in a car. It's not perfect but its what it is and I'm delighted with it, warts an' all. As one of the tiny percentage of wrinklies on the site, I like to be...

    Angry, protective, or just a case of ocd?

    This is a brilliant thread and I can relate to most everything that's been said. I know the S3 is a "family" car but there is a limit to the anguish I can take. In consequence, I have mandated my wife, daughter and grandchildren as follows: 1. scratchy bags, brollies and other paraphernalia to...

    Best and Worst Stealers

    Hi Jay That's useful to know. I ordered my S3 from Audi Stockport (also Inchcape) and collected it on 30 October '14. I've had no problems with Stockport thus far and the salesman has been excellent. However, as I live (more or less) between Stockport and Macc, it's good to know that I have...

    Few s3 8v Questions...

    I have the 3D black inlays as well, so as the adaptive lights reflect on the hedges and glint back on the inlays (which are non-dipping) I will presumably enter a trapezoidal cosmos?

    Jacking points A3 / S3

    I'm looking to buy a trolley jack and the online reviews indicate that the Clarke ctj2QM is ideal for the weight of the S3. It comes in a case with space for sockets etc and looks kinda neat. What isn't so clear is the bit that actually contacts the jacking seam so I searched Google for "jacking...

    New set of winter tyres

    I also had Nokians fitted a couple of weeks ago. I'd looked at various reviews on winter tyres and found that Nokian was generally in 2nd place behind Conti Winter contact TS850. This is somewhat at odds with the fact that the summer Conti's fitted as standard to the S3 are, according to reports...

    Truth or legend?

    I had to smile when I read this, danilotto! I think I'm in the lazy camp too, although not necessarily by choice. I've driven automatics for many years but nothing with as many gear permutations as my S3. I've had the car for four weeks and driven almost 500 miles. During that time, I've been...
