Yep, not sure I’m liking the new M3/4 grills!!! So I went with a newish F82 with only 5k miles. GT4 is a proper machine Tiger... congrats!!

After just over 3 years of ownership I decided to part ways with the S3, it has been a great car, no real issues and haven’t regretted buying it. Spent ages deciding if I should get a Golf MK8 R or a 20 plate RS3... but after many hours scouring Autotrader decided on a M4 Competition. Loving...

My S3 has just turned 3yrs old so had it booked in for MOT yesterday at Audi Ipswich. Thought I would share... MOT £49 Brake fluid change £70 Haldex oil change £80 I was going to get an Indie to do the Haldex having read on plenty of threads about Audi not cleaning the filter/gauze properly...

Just in case anyone is interested. My S3 manufacturer warranty will expire within the next 3 weeks. Quote from Audi to extend came through today, all components cover with £100xs is £372 (zero xs is £446 and £250xs is £297). Seems reasonable to me. The prices for names components is only...

My S3 came with factory PZeros which I found to be a decent Tyre and with the best rim protection I’ve ever seen on a Tyre!! Changed all 4 tyres at 19k I think, decided to go for Michelin PS4 which have zero rim protection.... but so far I’m finding them far superior in every way (wet/dry grip...

I’ve just ticked over 20k miles on my 67 S3 and have plenty of pad left looking at them visually. I guess it depends on driving style. I do plenty of motorway miles so that must help. I reckon lots of town driving with start/stop traffic with an auto can wear through pads much faster. On the...

Had the same thing on my 64plate MK7 GTI, had only done about 18k, with 230ps. There’s plenty of people that have had the same issue. Think the clutches are a bit crap. So made sure I went for the s-tronic (not that they’re bulletproof!) when I got the S3

This seems like a good deal and I fancy a change from the PZero I have at the moment. I was also looking at a set of Super Sports on Black circles as they have 10% off at the moment, but they only come up with BMW fitment, not Audi. Does this matter?!

Thanks will let him know

Hi guys, I have a FL S3 but a mate of mine has a B7 RS4 Avant and has had this light come up on the dash. Searched the internet and can’t find out what it is!!! The tyre pressures are fine (and this is a different light anyway). Any ideas? Cheers

That’s what I thought, but I put in my details, came up with my S3 and completed it online in the Audi garage. They were happy with it. Have had my plan docs etc through

For those people interested (sorry I did try searching the forum but it wouldn’t work on the mobile!) I have just purchased a service plan for my S3. I even went into the dealership in Ipswich (who were very helpful tbh) to check this as was told when I purchased the car that Audi didn’t do a...

I use Tesco 99 and can’t say I notice any performance increase but I’m pretty sure I get an extra few miles out of a tank (not scientifically calculated), which kinda pays for itself, so figured it can’t do any harm!

Got my gap cover from ALA, think they are decent price and well respected.

I was told a year ago too that Audi don’t do service plans on S/RS models. So I have just checked the Audi website, put in my reg and a price of £468 was quoted for the next 2 services. Think my first one (oil) is due in 3k. Again, not sure if this is good value either?!
