    whats my car worth?

    I sold my 02 S3 will similar spec to yours with RS4s etc a couple months back. It was in autotrader and even when i dropped the price to 6k I received very few calls. I ended up trading it and only got around 6 for it and that was a battle!! Second hand cars of this type are not selling well...

    New S3 brakes

    These are the very brakes i was talking about. Thanks adbus. Anyone with past experience of them? I know a few folk on here are not big fans of the Red stuff pads but it does seem like a good deal if the discs are decent enough. I'd appreciate any info on them - good or bad. Iain

    What Oil for S3 (Again)

    Castrol long life III. That is what they will sell you in the Audi parts dept. Also, can be found at Halfords though it's no cheaper there. Still about 14 quid a litre!!

    Windows steaming up/condensation, etc.

    Just found a similar prob in my 02 S3. Windows steamed up this morning for the first time, they are normally totally clear. Just seems strange that it changed in one day. I hope it's not the compressor, though it does sound scarily like that. Will check the carpets for damp later.

    HELP - Speckled pain on the S3

    Thanks Rich Those links are handy. I am a clay novice so i will probably go for the product shown. I do have a couple more questions - would one bar be sufficient and could i use it on the trims? Thanks again Iain

    Replacing the rubber grommit around the roof aeriel?

    It is obvioulsy badly designed if all these Audi ariels are packing in after just 5/6 years! Does the Audi replacment pack include the "Whippy bit"? The whole ariel including the base and the seal is cracking on mine so i am as well to replace the lot at once. Also, i thought the S3 ariel...

    HELP - Speckled pain on the S3

    Hi Pretty much as the above says - I have a Ming blue S3, about a week ago i washed the car and found that it was covered in speckles. Over the paint, trims, wheels, everything. At first i thought it could be concrete/cement dust or paint overspray. But it is on all sides of the car...

    Fiat Coupe

    Cool. Looks good, def goes good, shame about the brakes!!!! I had one about 9 years ago. I reckon it was probably quicker in 4th than my S3 in 6th! As someone above said though, build quality isn't up to much but still great value for money. Cool.

    S3 MPG?

    it reads 33ish from mixed driving though i find it hard to believe. one day i might bother to actually work it out myself. as someone said above, i think the mpg increases with higher octane.

    Rolling Road + Scotland

    Sounds like i'll be going the star direction then. My only issue is that the S3 has now done 58k and i'm slightly worried the clutch will give up fairly soon and a remap will only speed this up. Not sure if i'm worrying unnecessarily or if i'm going to end up with a bill for a new clutch one...

    Rolling Road + Scotland

    Are the power increases you get with a star remap typical of a 'true' figure? I know from breifly looking at other sites they reckon they can acheive larger power gains. Though i know they will be prone to bid up the claims.

    Rolling Road + Scotland

    I've been looking at remaps for a while now and i am due to move back to Edinburgh at the end of the month. Are the star remaps any good or are there any other companies you would suggest in the ed area?
