That sounds familiar.
I originally looked at a stock car at the dealer, but also wanted the 5 year warranty. Got told the same - must be added at time of order.
But I'm pretty sure I was told they could add the additional warranty to the car I was looking at.
Might be worth getting them to...
Hi there.
If you're going Black edition with Tech Pack Pro, then you get the sunroof and 360 cameras. Be aware that previously shortages have resulted in the 360 camera not being included - only a rear reversing camera. Before I bought in September last year , I put together a spreadsheet...
I've just been out and done a test.
I used a USB drive that's not been in the car before. I put one album on it (Depeche Mode - Momento Mori, 2023).
I replaced the folder.jpg with album art from another Depeche Mode album - Live in Berlin.
The folder on the USB drive looks like this:
Putting...
I've got the following setup with my FLAC files, hopefully it helps:
I haven't embedded the album art into the FLAC files
In each folder, I've got the album art in the file: folder.jpg
Image resolution in folder.jpg is 800x800.
As far as I know, it's using my album art rather than Gracenote...
Just done a puddle light 'upgrade'. I'd chosen quattro rather than the rings when I collected.
Now thanks to eBay - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/314893864965, I have this:
I'd say the S3 ones aren't as bright as OEM, but for the price, I'm not complaining!
Yeah - if you are in no rush makes sense to get a complete car. It would annoy me knowing it didn't have everything it should have.
The existing order I was able to amend was for build week 39 (25th Sept) last year. There's a few posts from me in the 'A3/S3 delivery lead time?' thread with...
Oh interesting.
I looked at an unregistered in-stock S3 with Tech Pack Pro at the end of August and spotted the 360 camera system was missing. Turns out there was a bulletin/advisory that mentioned some build weeks were missing it. They offered me £500 off the price as consideration. I...
I don't know if this helps - but I managed to find my old one on autotrader. I traded it in (I know, I know....) at the end of October.
63 plate like yours, full Audi service history etc. but only had 34k miles on the clock.

It was...
Collected the car this afternoon. Very fast turn around by the dealership.
I think it did arrive yesterday. Seems they had 5 cars on the same ship that were slow getting transported down - of which mine was one.
They wanted to hit their October numbers and had forecasted my sale in them. I...
Was that putting your reg no in?
My reg isn't recognised right now (picked up the car this afternoon).
If I used the drop downs to choose make (A3 Sportback special editions) and model (S3 TFSI Quattro Black Edition 5dr S tronic [Tech]) it gives me price of £386.85. Dealer told me earlier...
25th Sept. Sounds like you are a few days behind me.
Strange you've not heard anything more.
Here's my complete email timeline:
- "we're under way"/In build/"It's time to start bringing your Audi S3 to life.", received 12th Sept
- "our work here is done."/Final checks/"We're happy to tell you...
I was told week 39 which according to my calendar was week commencing 25th Sept.
Got the:
- 'in build' email on the 12th Sept
- 'final checks' email on the 25th Sept.
A quick update on my situation:
- received the In transit 'wrapped up, safe and sound on board our ship to the UK' email on 19th October
- dealer rang me on the 20th and having checked things - advised it was listed as state 39(?) (shipped I think) and would be heading to Grimsby
- collection on...
Saturday 28th (provisional) for my S3 Sportback Black Edition. Got the build complete email on Monday 25th Sept.
Just hope the 360 camera from the Tech Pack Pro is fitted. It was missing from the (brand new, unregistered) dealer stock that I drove - hence I didn't buy.
Seems there was a...
I also got the voucher today.
Car was serviced last month, so no good for that!
Thanks for the link to the accessories brochure - quattro/ring puddle lights and illuminated sills could be on the cards.
Washed it for the first time in months.
Also managed to apply a coat of Meguiars gold class clear coat liquid wax.
Took some photos that might end up in the reflections thread in the detailing section.
