    Sold 2017 S3 47k miles £18,000

    The car is in pristine condition, there isn't a mark on the bodywork. Wheels have recently been diamond cut so they are also perfect. Recently serviced at an Audi specialist with a mix of main dealer and specialist. In the last 2 years/15k miles the following has been changed or serviced: -new...

    ⚠️ALL S3 8V OWNERS COOLANT LEAK!!!!!!

    Took my car in because the coolant was disappearing. Guess what, failed thermostat. I only had it replace in 2021 with a genuine one, this means it's now on its third one! Annoyingly it's gone after about 15k miles, so not even a massive amount of driving. I'm aware there is a class action...

    Recall - issued 02/09/2022

    Trying to work this out from the post, if they update the car and it flags it's about to fail do they cover the work under a recall? Asking as my car is well out of warranty. Assuming the work is significant if the update flags it?

    Auto box slipping in manual mode

    does it only happen when you go past the kick down bit at the end of the pedal?

    Haldex service

    I paid £80 at an indy and they sent me photos of the clogged up filter, cheers Audi for not bothering when they did it 8k ago... https://pinnacle-automotive.co.uk/fixed-price-servicing

    The blue lagoon

    I like the standard wheels but just not blacked out. Thought about getting them diamond cut?

    Facelift Tyre Time

    Thinking about it the rim protection on the P4 is pretty useless. I kerbed my wheel on the lowest park of a drop kerb. Tears were shed...

    Facelift Tyre Time

    I have Pilot Sport 4 all round on my 18" wheels, the grip is spot on. If you buy through BlackCircles with code PSDEAL you can get 4 for £374 fitted.

    Typical mileage for brake pads and discs?

    Just done my fronts at 33k miles, could have probably pushed it a bit longer but think they only had a few mm left. Rears are due soon too.

    Discs not wearing evenly

    I was pretty careful and didn’t use much grease (used pad goo), also cleaned the discs fairly with brake cleaner after fitting. Will probably just leave them a bit longer and see what happens, worst case I guess is just stick another set of pads on.

    Discs not wearing evenly

    I’ve recently changed my front discs and pads on my s3, fitted OE Brembo. One side is fine but the other has a band at the top and bottom of the disc. When initially fitting I did accidentally bend the anti rattle clip but managed to bend it back. I also cleaned all of the contact points with...

    S3 exhaust tips

    I couldn't get mine off on my facelift either, tried hitting with a hammer and block of wood from the back. Gave up in the end.

    S tronic Shift Lever Broken Ring

    Got the super glue out, not sure how long it will last for.

    S tronic Shift Lever Broken Ring

    Mine has also broken, wonder if anyone could 3d print one. Seems pointless to buy a whole new gear knob for a bit of plastic. Any thoughts?
