If you are still not happy with your sorted car and can afford it then go for it but try and get more money off first .... if you don't ask you don't get as they say .
good luck and we need photos .....

I had a Suzuki grand vitara which started playing up and my local dealer( useless group of gits ) kept changing bits and it coat a fortune and thay said it was possibly carbon in the injectors and 4 of them could cost anything up to £600 so I traded the car which wasn't running right in but told the garage and they we were not fussy as it was going to auction ,Tiguan sport bought , 3 months later wifes astra sri abs light came on the local garage wanted over £1000 to sort it so it got traded in at the same garage but we didn't get as good a deal as it was a demo GTD we got but we were happy and the VW garage have been brilliant .
So if you get a good deal go for it . we did and are happy . mine has 40654 mls and wifes has 30754 mls and so far no problems and we are both in the special VW emissions car club .so will wait and see what comes of this cars still going ok .

May be a stupid question but does the whole tail gate open on the saloon or is it just the hatch?

Just the boot(like a mini a4 saloon)..

 

[SootySport]

Just the boot(like a mini a4 saloon)..

-----and the opening is very narrow compared with being used to Avants and Hatchbacks.
Long may your new S3 serve you Mr. pburv.

 

[pburv]

Thanks very much my man.....
The boot isn't that bad to be honest.I'm sure I will get used to it(I've always got the mrs car for the runs to the tip ha ha don't tell her)

Honestly some of you lot are naive. When are you going to learn audi are garbage now pure and simple. Btw the guy with the tock tock noise,your lifter is bad,it'll get worse. Expensive fix from dealers btw..in future give audi a miss and buy a 1.6hdi car.bullet proof.great mpg etc. Even skoda and VW are crap nowadays

Nice trolling pal - you're replying to a post that's over 4 years old - I'm sure these guys have fixed the issue or moved on. Your post was pointless unless you're trying to generate some chat.
