Thanks Alex. Moving from a 90hp 1.5 Nissan Almera to an S3 was a big step up in terms of power and refinement. So moving from a 300hp 360hp wont be such a big step. Even though its not just about power why I chose my new car. But I would be very happy to be proved wrong. Reading your posts over...

Thanks. I really hope I will like it as I only took a test drive in a 1.4 sports back which I really liked. Otherwise its going to be a very expensive mistake.:slapped: I think it says a lot about how good the 8P A3 is when we keep them for such a long time.

Thanks Sandra. I'm a bit 50/50 about Catalunya red as the colour looks ST orange under some lights but then it looks really nice bright red in the sun. I'll live with it though.:sunglasses: Will do, even though the weather looks rubbish with heavy rain for Tuesday.

Well the time has come and I've decided to get rid of my S3 after 8 1/2 years (3100 days to be exact) and 65,858 miles of ownership. I sold it webuyanycar for over £2000 more than what the dealer wanted. So I'm happy with that. From collecting my car on 1st Sepetmber 2007...

I supplied the serial number details to an eBay seller (not the same one previously mentioned). But had an email back saying that the serial number was not found on the database. They refunded me strait away. They suggested either that the serial number was incorrect or had been blocked by Audi...

So it looks like Audi originally supplied the pin then stopped. Audi Customer Care did say the pin was free it was just the labour time at the Audi Centres is were the cost comes from. Does your unit ask for a pin every time it is disconnected from the battery? Has anyone got a 2007 RNS-E unit...

I've had a look through the RNS-E Operating Manual (dated 05.2007) and there isn't any indication of a perforated section. I've looked trough all of the owners pack and there is no pin. It looks like the pin is only supplied with cars after 2007. I can't understand why as security feature to...

It was installed when I ordered the car from the factory. I've had a look through all the handbooks and I couldn't find a printed number. The only number I have is the one in the plastic key ring which is a letter followed by 6 numbers. I'm guessing it's something to do with the radio code but a...

The way that Audi was talking it would be a special code each time. If its just the same code why couldn't they supply it on the plastic same plastic as the Radio Code (what ever use that is used for). :rage:

After disconnecting the battery RNS-E unit is asking for a pin to be entered:- This is the first time its done this even though I've disconnected the battery a number of times in the past as well as completely removing the unit. After reading this thread :-...

I don't know but after looking at this video and hearing how much vibration I have on tick-over I would say it must be single mass.

It was a Loba clutch and flywheel.

Mine does exactly the same since I had a new fly-wheel and clutch fitted with a Stage 1 Revo. I just thought it was the remap. Is yours running Stage 1?

You were right I started the car up today to drive home and the engine warning light was off. :) I've cancelled my appointment with the garage. Is it still worth getting the error code checked out via vcds (not at the dealers)?

I've never noticed that there is a vcds map option on the menu. :keule: There are two people near me so I will send a PM to ask. Thanks.

I thought it was a longshot asking about a warning light that could mean anything. I'll take it to the dealers and let them charge me for a 2 min job just to telling me that it's going to cost more money to actually fix it.

Last night the Check Engine Symbol came on and staid on. I left the car overnight but it was still on this morning. There is no problem with the way the car runs so I hope it's nothing expensive. I've booked the car into the dealers next week to have it check. The service desk said it's...

After a quick search I found a salvage company with a number of 8Ps breaking for parts. I called them and explained what I wanted. They came back with a quote of £45 delivered for a tested blower with a three month guarantee. I'm happy with that seeing that some of the second hand units are...

Just to update I tried the replacement unit and that didn't work either. I put the old one back on to make sure it was working and it did 1/4 turn. So the climate control system isn't faulty. I've now had a refund. I asked the local car breakers if they had any in stock but they said those unit...

The heater blower has ceased up and can only turn a quarter of a rotation before stopping. This hasn't come as a surprised because it started doing it moths ago but after a clean it has been working fine. So I need a new one. I phoned up the Audi dealer and they quoted over £300 for one. :wtf...
