    S3 8V to RS3 8P... Thoughts

    Regards to the Bluetooth you can get the 'Tune2air' which plugs into the iPod connection in the glovebox meaning you can stream all your music straight off your phone, it shows up on the nav screen all your playlists etc. Both are lovely cars, I've looked at both as a possible replacement...

    Yellow Mayonnaise gunk in oil filler cap

    Unusual wheel spin

    Yeah fair enough, I hadn't had my car much more than 5 minutes when it started to spin the fronts so was happy the oil change sorted it, if it started to do it again then I'd change the pump. Not sure what mileage your on, mine was on 30k so was kind of hoping the pump hadn't gone already...
