    Boot size compared to 8P and other Q’s

    Hey guys, Currently selling my S3 8P, got a few options but may just upgrade to an 8V. Is the 8V boot much bigger? Noticeable or not? I kind of need more space, but could easily persuade myself the purchase was a practical and sensible one if the boots bigger on the 8V. Also, any buying...

    Auto leveller headlights too low

    Is there anyway to reset the level that your headlights go? When I turn em on they do the usual up and down. But they settle so low down, can’t see anything further down the road.

    Odd noise! S3 HELP!

    What the ****** **** is this all about!? Sounds like a diesel, pulled over after a long journey (couple hundred mile) and it sounded like that, so I had a look. Did it for about 10 mins then stopped. It’s been back briefly since but goes after a while. Oil level fine (slightly on the low...

    Tiny bit of lacker/lacquer peel (preventative measures)

    So I took my S3 back to Audi as it’s under its approved used warrantee still, they sent me to their repairs folk to have a look. Unfortunately the panel it’s on has already had a repair job done (paint on that panel twice the depth as the other) so they won’t do the work. Is there anything I...

    Play in the steering (video inc)

    Alright chaps, Got a little play in the steering wheel when at motorway speed. Other than that the steering feels fine but is that a normal amount of play on S3's? 2010 8P No wobble at speeds upto way over the limit so tracking etc is fine. Excuse middle lane hogging but it was 04:50 and I...

    OEM Sub volume (S3 8P)

    Hello! Is it normal that the sub seems to fade up and down on different radio stations? It's stable when playing through the phone but some radio stations (especially pirate esqe ones) Is that to do with the way the car receives the signal as opposed to the Sub itself. Nice one

    Can only hear it when at very low speed. Engine mount? Had MOT and service the other day and I asked them to have a look about, said all seemed fine, nothing dangerous. Anyone had the same?
