    Good bye my beloved S3 for now

    It wasn’t an easy decision , but I’ve swapped my beloved daily S3 for an F70 135. Before you guys start dropping bombs on me—I know... but 3,000 miles in, and what a car! I test-drove the Golf R and the new S before I swapped my car, wasn’t a fan of the A35, and I must say, the BMW is a much...

    What are you trying to achieve? A wider look? Look into offset, currently looking at this myself

    Facelift How many miles is too many

    That's very good question what to get next. I would love an RS3 but it's slightly out of my budget. Looked at all of them as well - Golf r, a35 and 135 but not sure if it will be any different really to my current S3 and not sure if any of them will be any quicker. Plus the image of S3 is not as...

    Facelift How many miles is too many

    I can't afford rs3 at the moment either, especially when it comes to almost £75k new with all the options, but had too many faults with my gearbox, mechatronics, and clutches previously, luckily was covered under warranty back then, and do not want to put too muich pressure on the old parts. But...

    Facelift How many miles is too many

    That is the reason I haven't done any mods, want to keep it original and always believe if you want something faster just get an rs3

    Tyres

    Was very impressed with Firestone Sport, very good handling and the longest lasting tyres more than 20k miles. Would get them again but no one does offers on them

    Facelift How many miles is too many

    Hi all, had my s3 2019 for 5 years now and done 70k miles. Most of them are motorway miles. But now I am being paranoid that the car will give up on me. Completely virgin car with no mods and full Audi service history. Should I be worried and what should I look out for? Thank you

    Audi A3 8V Knocking/Clicking noise when turning the steering wheel

    Same problem here, 33k miles since brand new FL S3. Took it twice to different garages and they cannot find the fault. It is really annoying. I have been very unlucky with my S3, gearbox and exhaust system replaced after 6k miles now the car is in garage again with Mechatronics fault and new...

    Exhaust system

    After 1 years and 8 months of owning FL s3 hatchback I have decided to upgrade stock exhaust. Dont mind the performance but would like to get the sound. Before you all slate me here, I know there are loads of posts here. Can you recommend something that won't break my bank account and add some...

    Bye Bye S3

    Lovely looking car, never thought I would say that about Seat. Bit might consider it myself.

    First Haldex Service

    Another cost then? I'm on 17.5k miles when it needs to be done?

    New Shape S3

    Agree with you as I was concerned that 8v will look like 8p, (which still looks decent for its age) after the new shape release.

    Facelift Problem after problem

    Mate don't even start, 2 months of ownership the whole car was vandalised, 8 months ownership gearbox replaced, 9 months ownership full exhaust system replaced and now to top it up the blooming undertray. And that is 18 months old car. Just because of that no more Audis for me.

    Facelift Problem after problem

    Facelift Problem after problem

    Another problem with my S3. Bonnet undertray came off and damaged the wheel arch. I,very been driving with loose undertray for a week before I could get an appointment and Audi response was that I have ripped it off by driving over a puddle or a stick. £326 to fix. I am fuming here as was not...

    First service?

    I have driven 3 different S3s, including mine and all of them where making seat noises which makes me feel like I am in 1960s caddy. And I'm having so many problems with mine ots unbelievable and unacceptable for £40k car

    First service?

    Mine is 68 plate feb 2019 and most of my miles are done on motorway and country lanes. Called another dealer nearby and they still have that deal for 374. Will have to fork out the cash as my car had to go back 3 times to dealer to replace gearbox, mechatronics and exhaust system and I don't...

    First service?

    At the moment I am just under 15,000 miles and never serviced it yet since I had the car

    First service?

    The car is only 18 months old and I was expecting oil change to come up around 20,000miles.

    First service?

    Need your advice please. My S3 is showing an oil change is due at 15000 miles. Called audi Guildford and they have quoted £400+ and for a first service it sounds a bit expensive. Never paid more than 250-300 with MBZ or BMW. Is it how much it is? Thank you
