    What shampoo

    Just taken delivery of Angelwax Enigma; been using Autoglym Bodywork Shampoo Conditioner of late - honestly, think it's pretty naff (reasonable enough slip but terrible for suds) but went with the brand on cost/accessibility/bundled in with the car (wifes)...prior to that I'd used Megs Gold...

    What dash buttons are these?

    Kinda concerning...are we (collective) envious of someone with an electric vehicle Think I'll go sit down for a while and have a chat with myself

    What dash buttons are these?

    I believe it's a button from the e-tron you're looking for...this was a discussion I had at length with the dealer and parts department :)

    DSG problems - 7 speed dry clutch

    I would recommend speaking with the dealer and loop in to conversation your regions head quarters if you're not getting satisfactory answers All work carried out by the dealer will have a warranty, suspect it'll be 12 months - I imagine it'll be in small print - sometimes found on the reverse...

    yourAudi - Track New Car Order

    Hi Kenny I had a similar scenario - additional checks (at the port). The collection date from the dealer ended up being 2 weeks after the original estimate provided upon ordering. Sit tight, try and be patient, all is fine...it is worth the wait

    Facelift Speccing my next Audi and learning from the current

    Hardly panoramic though is it when you compare to a true front to rear pano roof in a larger vehicle - there's that marketing machine again ;)

    Facelift How fast or slow do S3 depreciate?

    I've rewritten my reply a couple of times - I don't wanna upset you but the idea the S3 is rarer, I'm not so sure. Given how many I see on my travels I'd be inclined to say Audi make this model particular achievable with their finance options as a lead (wouldn't say loss leader but I suspect...

    Facelift URGENT! POST PICS OF ARA BLUE SPORTBACK WITH ROOF RAILS AND NON BLACK EDITION!

    Said it before and I'll say it again, rails. They really do suit the car, I'm a big fan of Avants and they certainly do 'lengthen' the car.

    Facelift Speccing my next Audi and learning from the current

    Just get the dealer to tick all the boxes for you, much easier buying process than agonising over everything...

    Glacier White and Ara Blue Your best bet jassy is to get white and roll it straight in to a paint shop...don't wrap, commit...it's only money, right?! :|

    What dash buttons are these?

    Those are known as 'expensive' :D Serious answers above (semi automated parking and radar parking sensors)

    Facelift URGENT! POST PICS OF ARA BLUE SPORTBACK WITH ROOF RAILS AND NON BLACK EDITION!

    I can testify to that, keeping Brilliant Red looking good was a bl**dy struggle. This was before 'nano coating' and 'detailing' became popular and the products advanced to where they are now. Really shows up swirl marks if you don't look after it. Mind you, was a flat red, so maybe the metallic...

    Facelift URGENT! POST PICS OF ARA BLUE SPORTBACK WITH ROOF RAILS AND NON BLACK EDITION!

    The dark side is lovely; too many white/grey/black S3s (SportBack or otherwise) (hesitantly waiting for the 'haters' now :| ) Spotted an S3 PFL in what I think is known as Volcano Red, in Lymington at the weekend. Now that's a colour that suits the car, subtle but definitely different.

    Facelift Matrix LED v LED Headlights

    Massive fan of the xenons in my wifes A3 - an improvement over the B7 S4 for sure (probably just a clarity difference in the lens)...and can't get over how well the matrix perform on the S3. Not once been flashed and work very well at illuminating everything except oncoming light sources. Very...

    How do you wash your microfibre cloths ?

    These sound like reasonably good advice, difficult decision though to separate out if you're only washing a few towels AmmoNYC Junkman2000 (affiliated with The Rag Company) I always wondered how long and if you could leave towels dirty so you could 'do a load'

    Extreme Parking

    Parking at Fleet Services - any closer to the motorway and I'd have parked on the slip road off the M3!

    Facelift Post Pics Of Your Facelift A3/S3 8V In Here

    Few photos from this morning when I picked up the S3 after being detailed. I'm unsure why I've blanked out the registration plate...seems to be the thing to do. http://www.audi-sport.net/xf/gallery/albums/audi-s3-8v-sportback-black-edition-detailed.4113/

    yourAudi - Track New Car Order

    Ah well if that's it, definitely you may have struck on a bit of a winner then by sheer luck. Enjoy the A4 Avant whilst you want, I suspect it may drive quicker than some S4s on the road ;)

    yourAudi - Track New Car Order

    I'd be enquiring as to whether they'd like to retro fit the lighting pack at the dealership (I'm unsure of what's in it) - also FOC given that's the specification you wanted; after all part of the whole buying a new car process is that you get the car you want/can budget for As for covering the...
