Took the plunge and used the launch control for the first time last night and it is addictive. Scary how quick it takes off . Went for a second run but must have done something wrong as it only went to 2k revs and the clutch was trying to pull away . Bit of a novelty but the grip off of stand...

Went out this morning and during a gentle drive in eco ( warming the oil ) I pulled away from some lights . I got to 30 and then there was nothing . Car was still in gear but no power or revs so had to roll luckily into a lay by and turn the car off and then back in and it was fine . Once...

Just swapped my 8p s3 for an s-tronic 2017 ara blue s3 . Picked it up this morning and I’m impressed. It holds the road a lot better than my previous s3 and has a great sound. It has mag ride with a noticeable difference between dynamic and comfort Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My s3 is nearly 5 years old so is due cam belt/water pump . Am I right in thinking I should change the cam follower whilst its apart? It's a standard car with 45,000 miles Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Driving down the motorway Sunday night I noticed my clutch slipping. After a test I found it slipping in 4th,5th and 6th. From what I have read the standard clutches aren't the best but the car has only done 44000 miles and is a 2012 reg. it's still under Audi warranty so I've booked it in and...

I work away now so my s3 is sat on my driveway for two weeks at a time. My drive is on a hill so I put the handbrake on and then leave it in gear once switched off. Went to move it today and after the handbrake was released the brakes were still stuck on .After quite a big noise from the rear...

Just been topping my oil up and looking straight at me were these marks on the belt. They have a slight indent ,maybe something has hit it? Or is this a special Audi thing [emoji120] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I used to use the motorist centre near Canterbury but as I Have moved they are now a bit further away. Does anybody from Kent ( Ashford area ) have any recommendations for servicing etc. East Kent Audi are out the question as their service has been terrible with me. Any comments appreciated...

This has probably been asked befor but I can't find a thread with any decent opinion . I recently brought my 2012 s3 and it is on an Audi long life device plan. I have seen some horror stories regarding oil pick up pipes blocking. I am also used to the usual yearly or 10,000 service on my...
