You are absolutely right bowfer and yes I'll plank my **** in view of the service area while slurping "kid on" expensive coffee. You know its not so much the oil type I'm really concerned with here but the lies they told or the back tracking they did to cover their **** when i put Audi UK on...

Yes they will if you let them. Provide the screen wash and the oil. Thats what I'll be doing next time. Castrol edge (4l) is £44.11 at the moment at Halfords but I'm sure you could get cheaper. Point here being that 8l works out at £88 as opposed to allegedlly £95 for 6 litres.

My S3 has been in for its first oil change (not first service). I was told over the phone on booking that cost would be £165 inc vat. Ok you expect it to be pricey but you don't really know what £165 gets you until you see your invoice. When my car was returned washed/book stamped etc...

Ok not a total bank robbery but I question my stealership on Price and Quantity of supplied oil. S3 1st oil service change £165. Handbook says oil capacity 4.5litres including oil filter. Yet they poured in 6 litres? and that was 12 x 0.5litres (from a big drum??). So 12 x 0.5 l = £ 95.08...

Forgive me here but is that not the face lift S3 wheels:uhm:

Not keen. Ok I'm an owner of the pre-facelift but i would not rush out to change. I feel the jewelery DRL's are just that and an after thought squeezed in. Too many lines at front now too. And those LUGS. Sorry no.:huh: No I'll stick to my smoother finished model. Thanx.

As Phantom suggests. Yes the hair dryer method works. I did mine on my old sportback from Black to Chrome and back again when traded in. Do the 2 screws as well allows for a bit more play after heating the mirror. It will be easier to release from its fitment, then the 2 wires for the heated...

For me 1. They are good cars but overly priced and the resale is always less than what Audi themselves market as a premium brand. Can't work that loss out. 2. Dealerships.(Linked to above)They tell you your chosen options are this price and then they tell you when you trade in that they are...

If your going that far north well at least as far as the Fort (off up there myself Sat to do the Ring Of Steall) then i would also include A86 Spean Bridge - Laggan- A889- Dalwhinnie back onto the A9. This is a twisty lochside hoot of a road to drive. Several trips on this road of late in the S3...

Similiar but not quite. Genuine 2 piece BBS manufactured for AUDI with highly polished rim. Nice full stem BBS valve caps. (Although i take them off in toe-rag areas).

Heres the BBS Calitos on my S3 In Glen Garry April 08. Got mines from e-bay LearAutomotive for £425 delivered. Very happy with them. They fill the arches by + 6mm over standard S3 wheels.

S3 all the way. Fantastic car. Quality and pace. Enjoy. Welcome to the club.

You've certainly turned a spec Audi into something better. Looks great. Pat on the back there.:applaus:

Ah its nice to know you can get past Clydebank. Fort William maybees Aye maybees naw:jester:. There are Better roads than the A82 to test out the new mota. Yip. I agree a wee change on your wheels would look better. I like the Avant. Theres a nice black special addition S-Line round my way...

Awright mate and welcome. Made me laugh though.:lmfao: Up north? from Glasgow? Don't get out much then? Loch Lomond eh from Glasgow? Is that not your back door? LOL.
