    Facelift 2017 S3 8v - Coolant question

    Facelift 2017 S3 8v - Coolant question

    Thinking of buying a used 2019 S3 - advice

    Should really have had oil service in 2022 and full service in 2023 by my estimation but otherwise seems legitimate. Have you had a test drive ? Check for clutch slip and coolant leaks, chalky white deposits under the bonnet and around hoses . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
