I was involved in a serious car accident when driving on the motorway and a car crashed into me while changing lanes from left to middle without noticing my presence. Long story short, I'm fine but the car is dead. My insurance company is saying that the car is a total loss from experience...

Is there an easy fix for this issue? That plastic part is supposed to stay attached to the armrest but it keeps sliding out of place. Surely some hot snot would be a cheap way to fix this but I'd like a better solution as surely the stealership will be asking for a lot of $ for such a simple...

So for a while now I've been noticing a harsh mechanical noise when accelerating hard (right corner) makes a lot more noise then left or straight driving for some reason. It's like something goes out of alignment when the noise happens but I can't figure it out. The Audi service specialist...

I would like to install an oil catch can on my S3 however I'm not ready to pay hundreds of dollars for one. Has anyone got one from Aliexpress? If so how satisfied were you with the unit and which one did you buy specifically as there are many models to chose from but I'm not sure which one...

So I was having some fun powersliding on some empty wet roads with traction off and I was getting some scary jolts (TA TA TA) and it felts like i was hitting a a sequence of potholes. Is this something to be worried about? It doesn't seem to be a normal occurrence.

I've recently taken my car to the dealer for servicing and they changed the coolant tank as it was "leaking". A couple of days ago I got terrible acceleration hesitation upon kickdown and got an EPC light and the car went into some kind of limp mode. The problem went away the next day. Today...

I've been hearing metallic clunky noises when going over harsh speed bumps that kind of sounds like some issue with the gearbox as it seems to come from below the gear lever. I have another problem that I believe is related to the same one, when I drive the car hard while turning to the right...

I want to get a 525r turbo and wanted some opinion on what exhaust to chose from Milltek? I want the oval tipped chrome exhaust but I am not sure if I should get the resonated or non-resonated version / valved or non-valved. I already have a BullX cat-less down-pipe and I get a lot of drone...

I want to upgrade my turbo of my S3 but I am not sure which one to go for. There's the TTE 470 and 525r and i saw a video of an S3 running some TTE6XX turbo doing 100-200 in 5 seconds with a built engine. I want performance without any more lag than the stock turbo. Could you please recommend...

I repaired my car at my local audi repair shop after suffering a mild accident from the side (truck hit the rear passenger door at a red light) and ever since the repair I noticed a lot more creaks coming from the interior of the car. It is quite annoying and I would like to know if there is a...

How can it be done? Is the boost gauge enough to tell is there is a leak? In other words is there a boost sensor reading the boost pressure or is the boost gauge programmed to display boost pressure? I have installed a turbo muffler delete and a diverter valve myself so could they result in...

So yesterday I decided to clean my steering wheel with some leather cleaner and a microfiber towel but got a bit over excited and ended up causing what seems to be a friction burn on the steering wheel (line that stands out from the rest of the surrounding leather) by rubbing a bit too hard...

My biggest gripe with cars these days is the fact that they are all moving towards a turbocharger instead of NA or supercharged. Not a huge fan of them since they introduce a terrible amount of lag in some cases making the drive experience far from enjoyable. I would much prefer a trend towards...

I am sick of having to cycle through the driving modes to get the exhaust valves to open as it does not always do so when driving so I am contemplating the idea of physically removing the exhaust valves from my S3. Is this possible or will I need a new Cat-back exhaust? Any pics or tutorials on...

So I've been suffering ever since I installed a catless downpipe . It drones pretty bad between around 2-3k rpm especially under full boost with a deep bass tone Is there any way to make the drone disappear as it is getting very irritating at this point.

So I've owned my S3 for about 2 years now and although I fell in love with it when I first bought it, at this point in time I can see its flaws a lot more clearly. I am seriously considering selling it and buying something else that is more comfortable for daily driving over rough pavement...

So ever since I decided to go catless for more power, I have noticed a nasty metallic rattling noise at around the 2000 rpm mark. My guess is that the less restricted exhaust gases are causing the valves inside the pipes to vibrate making this terrible noise. Has anyone else experienced such...

So I heard this weird crackling noise when i was driving very hard in my S3 going uphill and taking fast corners sounds like it came from beneath the gear lever and goes away when driving straight. What could be causing this weird noise? maybe I was pushing it too much or could it be a sign...

Firstly, let me wish you all a happy new year! Ever since I flashed my ECU with Stage 2 software, my S3 has been showing an amber EPC light with many faults with driving aids. I've noticed this happening at 160 km/h under WOT acceleration and seems to be hitting a rev limiter and then the...

My car's esp light has been blinking more than usual the last couple of days so I turned it off completely and floored it in first and second gear and the front tyre slip a lot. Seems like the haldex awd system has failed on me. What to do?
