Hi all, i'm intrested in any information of the average clutch life in miles on the s3 . mY car has done 104 k happily but i'm starting to wonder at what point the clutch is likely to let me down ?
Also any idea what the replacement cost is from a main stealer ?

I recently bought my s3 and shortly after found a super chips ltd customer key hidden away in the glove box . No mension was made from the dealer which made me wonder wheather or not it had been chipped .
After a mate of mine drove my car and compared it to his i turned out mine has been...
Thanks for the advice above. Im not really bothered now about the air con panel the old one looked like it did more but thats wrong !! as for the seats maybe down the line i'll install them but not suree yet . thanks for the cruise control link alijames
Thanks for the reply, for the heated seats is the wiring likely to be there ?
Also i fit the older style heater panel ?

Hi all i have just bought a dodgy cable and software on ebay but ntaurally its got limited abillity, and through looking through some links form here i have found that Ross- Tech sell a licence for $99
Has anyone gone this way round ? It seem's like you can buy the license to fully activate...
I'm glad i've seen this thread ! I did wonder at the 115m cambelt !
My s3 has doen 63k and had a service at 58k from Audi but i don't think they did the cambelt !
How hard is the cambelt on these ? and how much is the kit from audi ? For the belt etc
As with most modifications of this type ie - ported throttle bodie etc . No gains in bhp are ever found but small benifits in throttle response are generally noticed , So considering its free and you have the time i can't see why its pointless but dont expect to much ?
