    Facelift How fast or slow do S3 depreciate?

    I bought a one year old S3 with a bank loan. The spec pushed the list price up to about £36k and I made a substantial saving when I bought it. With a loan at 3 points, the sums worked out for me but there are always variables to consider that will be personal to you.

    What is the most popular colour on this Forum

    Glacier white. Love it when it's clean and the sun shows the sparkles in the paint.

    Is your next car going to be Audi?

    I can't see much else in the range tempting me apart from maybe an S5 but I hear they are somewhat uninspiring to drive. Lots of choice out there but if M4s keep depreciating the way they are right now, I might have to scratch the M car itch.

    What have you done to your 8V today?

    Did you let them do your wheel alignment too? I got 4 new tyres fitted by them two weeks ago and a wheel alignment too. They made a right balls of it having had two attempts at it. Ended up back to Audi to get it sorted.

    Sad news sigh

    I like your ambition fella and it would be lovely to fly about in an S3 at your age but have to echo the sentiments of some other guys on here. As a 35 year old I'd say blow the money on having as much fun as you can. 18 old years on and me and my mates still look back to lads holidays- drinking...

    Supermarket Fuel

    As Boydie said, limited choice here in Northern Ireland so I just stick with BP Ultimate. It's maybe about 10p a litre more expensive so I'm happy just to pay a little more for 97 RON over 95. My mate's wife has a Golf GTI and was only ever using supermarket fuel. He is a mechanic and had to...

    Boydie I'm thinking of going for the muffler delete and just wondered if you've any feedback to give on it? Cheers.

    Facelift What I will miss about my Golf R...

    I had the touchscreen head unit in my R32 and thought it would be the business but once I started using it, I found it flawed. Any slight road movement meant hitting the right part of the screen was an issue and it was definitely distracting trying to keep an eye on the screen. Having...

    Facelift Resonator Delete

    Plenty of videos on YouTube as well to give you a nice acoustic representation of the mod. I'm going to get it done as soon as Awesome get the kit back in stock.

    Buckled alloys

    Cheers Rob, I appreciate the offer. I've just bought new rubber for all 4 rums and they are for 18s so I'm kinda stuck with that tyre size. Thanks anyway bud.

    Buckled alloys

    Thanks for all the responses guys and sorry for the delay in replying- in Italy right now. No idea how it has actually happened but there is no obvious structural marking to suggest they've been bashed off curbs so I can only assume potholes have caused it. I'm in Northern Ireland so if...

    Buckled alloys

    So I needed new tyres and went with Goodyear Asymetric 3s as Kwik Fit were doing a really good deal on them. Driving home, I feel a vibration at 60 mph and above. I go back the following day thinking maybe a weight has fallen off, so all wheels off and tyres all off. Further inspection reveals...

    Coolant leak S3

    Fingers crossed this sorts it. It's booked in for a two day stint as I've also identified a knocking noise from the N/S front corner when cornering over uneven surfaces.

    Coolant leak S3

    I got a warning light only last week whilst driving and turns out my car is losing coolant as well with no obvious signs of a leak. Going in at the end of the month and thankfully under warranty.

    Painted my callipers and hubs

    Great job, I keep looking at mine and the rust is annoying me. Axle stands will be out soon for a full spray.

    Sorry, yes I meant Agnews. Cheers, all under warranty so hopefully there won't be any issues. Love the work you've done to date. Top job.

    2014 Glacier White Revo S3

    How did you find them to deal with if you don't mind me asking? Mine is booked in for a second service in 3 weeks but there are a number of issues that need addressed under warranty. I've had no dealings to date with them apart from an awful sales experience.

    How many miles did you get from a full tank (all engines welcome)

    It's purely down to demand I think. Even filling stations that offered 97 have stopped selling it and when I asked one owner why, he said there just wasn't the demand for it.

    How many miles did you get from a full tank (all engines welcome)

    I use BP Ultimate or the Texaco equivalent and everything seems to be smooth and responsive as I'd expect. I live in Northern Ireland so we don't get 99 over here and even 97 takes a bit of planning when filling up. It took 4 petrol stations yesterday to find one that had Super.
