    Carista App Now Avaliable For the 8V A3/S3 - PFL & FL Covered

    Thanks for the reply mate, its not the fuel consumption, its the average speed of your journey, so for a 30 minute drive at 50-60mph most of the way, the average speed on my journey should have been like 55mph or at least 50mph, it was apparently 4mph (lol) for most of the journey and went up to...

    Carista App Now Avaliable For the 8V A3/S3 - PFL & FL Covered

    Hi mate, how do you mean? change it to what? It’s not changed from Kilometres to Miles, its like the computer was misreading the average speed or displaying the wrong average speed. Cheers

    Carista App Now Avaliable For the 8V A3/S3 - PFL & FL Covered

    Sorry to thread hijack but couldn’t find an existing thread to post this and this seemed the most appropriate one (short of creating a new thread). Just got my Carista dongle and downloaded the app, I made a couple of minor changes this morning (enabled oil temp on DIS, alarm chirp, and...

    New Audi S3 FL Dash Buzz

    Thanks for the replies guys, think I will have to take it in as it seems to be getting worse, today its louder and is present from a wider rev range (1,800-3,300), maybe something has just worked loose and needs re-tightening or padding. I may have the issue @carnutter mentions as I’ve now had...

    New Audi S3 FL Dash Buzz

    Yes mate I did come across those old threads, I think it was something to do with the wastegate actuator? To be honest I didn’t think that would be my problem as it was such an old issue, thought they would have fixed it by now! Not sure if that would cause the buzz/hum near the centre dash...

    New Audi S3 FL Dash Buzz

    Hi all, Hoping for some advice, sorry for the long thread. My S3 is just under two months old and yesterday morning driving in to work it developed a really annoying buzzing sound. I was on a call when I first noticed it so just assumed it was a dodgy line but after the call ended and the...

    Servicing & PCP

    There are some shocking ‘opinions’ on this subject, starting to think half the members work for Audi dealerships. I assume when someone is asking for advice they want informed responses, not scaremongering by someone trying to influence a stranger to ‘do what they do’, or passive aggressive...

    Servicing & PCP

    PCP isn’t renting, that’s leasing, PCP is basically the same as HP except your monthlies are essentially halved and the difference is paid at the end of the term if you keep the car. I’ll be getting an RS3 next but will still go to my local garage for services, its not rocket science changing...

    Servicing & PCP

    Don’t believe anything the dealers tell you, I’ve heard some corkers and I’m only on my second Audi, after I ordered my S3 the dealer called me the day after and said the 18” turbine alloys had been discontinued and they only did them in 19” now which needed mag-ride, unfortunately he needed...

    Servicing & PCP

    I can’t remember the exact law but think its an EU anti-competion/trust law to stop the monopoly dealers had, they would be in hot water if they tried to penalise you for using your local garage. Insurance companies do this with their line about only being able to use one of their ‘approved...

    Servicing & PCP

    Hi mate, I’m on my second PCP Audi deal, I went to Audi for the first oil change slash ‘interim’ for 200 notes, but the £300+ they wanted for the first main service on my A3 I thought was disgusting. I went to my local garage who are excellent and paid £120. When I traded it in they tried it on...

    Facelift S3 Delete Resonator YES or NO

    That doesn’t have the anti-drone pipe coming off so I would say thats basically what I had done, except I paid only £90 quid! I believe the anti-drone is a small curled pipe coming from the main pipe but I can’t upload pics from my phone, but you can see the pipe on any res delete with...

    S8 8V FL Stainless Fabricated Cat Back Exhaust

    Hi all, had a look around the forum (and net) but can’t find much info on this topic, like title says has anyone had a Stainless exhaust built from scratch fitted to their FL S3 at a custom exhaust fabricator? If so would you recommend one? Wondering what the sound is like from one of these...

    Facelift S3 Delete Resonator YES or NO

    Got mine done two weeks ago after deliberating for the last month, love the car but in my opinion its just too quiet for a 300 brake car. All the comments about drone and people getting the resonator put back on were putting me off, especially with the price of these anti-drone pipes and the...

    Facelift S-Tronic Overrun Pops + Bangs

    Did you get the res delete before or after opening your valves? Wondering if I should do it, but tbh it’s pretty decent sounding already with res delete after engine is hot. Out of interest did you get a proper anti-drone pipe? If so what’s the exhaust volume like on full throttle? I got a...

    Facelift S-Tronic Overrun Pops + Bangs

    Bit of a noob post as I’ve only had my ‘18 plate S3 for around 6 weeks now, just hit 1,100 miles in fact. I had to have a look on these forums to see if anyone else used manual mode in DSG as I just discovered it this week and.... wow! The pops, bangs and burbles are ridiculous and when the car...

    MMI / Rattling / Creaking problems

    Hi Richard, it was a great deal but a bit of luck, I used GB Cars who, combined with Audi got me a good deal. Think it was a case of right place right time after a few mishaps, bottom line is Sytners dealership wanted 29500 for basic 184ps and just tech pack which I ordered and paid 1k deposit...

    MMI / Rattling / Creaking problems

    Thanks guys, I am the pushy type but didn't know if Audi tend to argue the whole 'it's just an aesthetic thing' BS that some manufacturers do, and if they did then I wasn't too too sure about where I stood but based on your responses I feel confident it's not me being OTT whiney. I'll drop it...
