Thanks for the replies, i have owned an 8P S3 in the past and i would say this is by far more evident with this car than the previous model.
I would have expected a slicker gear change but like i said it doesnt sound like an issue just feels a little notchy.
Cheers
Hi, just a quick question is the 8V S3 known for having what i would describe as a notchy gear change, this is more noticeable in second and thrid gear.
Its not a definate mehcanical issue just different in second and thrird than the other gears.
Thanks

Its exactly the same commute, not combined MPG just on each journey. I now average between 32-35 when previous it was always 30-31 if taking it easy. 8 mile journey on A / B roads at 06.30 though. Could there be something faulty?
Thanks
Hi, has anyone else noticed that the On board computer has displayed an increased MPG. I am doing the same journey but it has on up by about 3 - 4 MPG recently?

Hi, Just noticed today what I think looks like a bit to much Mayonnaise in the oil filler cap. Just wondered what other peoples look like? I know there will be some and this is normal. Mine was covering the filler cap and some around the edge of the neck. Thanks in advance.

Hi, has anyone got any ideas on the cause of the stange noise coming from what I think is my heater blower. It sounds like a whirling / whining sound that can be stopped by turing the heater off. It isn't constent and changes frequency. Never heard the noise until today.
Thanks
Hi just a quicky I am having a debate with a guy at work who owns a impreza. He leaves his car running for a minute of so after driving to allow the turbo to cool etc. Is this still the case with modern turbo engines ?

Hi drove through flood water last week, didn't realise how deep it was :(. Car starts fine but water has mixed with the oil. Possibly hydo-locked and ideas?

Thanks for your replies, I had thought about the rusting bit myself. I will book it in the same time as the MOT is due. £49.00 so its not the earth.

Hi, just got off the phone with the main dealer, they suggested I have the brake fluid changed as it is 3 years old. They told me it will not affect my warranty if I decide not to have this work done. Do I need to get it changed. Or is the dealer trying to lead me on telling me its a safety...
Not sure on the cause but I had mine replaced under warranty. It was knocking at a a certain point from lock to lock every time you did it. Dealer tried to blame the weight of the engine at first but I wasn't having any of it. Sorted now. Also had a a new clutch and fly wheel replaced weeks...
