    Loss of Radio Signal when rear heated window turned on

    The shark fin contains antennas for phone, GPS and satellite radio if equipped. Terrestrial radio antennas are on the rear glass. If you have 3/5 door - there also may be a small grid on the left and right side luggage compartment glass.

    Loss of Radio Signal when rear heated window turned on

    Most likely there is a short on the rear glass heater / antenna grid. The grid has the AM / FM / DAB integrated. Is the glass tinted aftermarket? That would be the first place to look.

    Top 5 or 10 VAGCOM options

    I noticed this issue was fixed when my MMI software was updated to allow satellite view with the replacement of Google Maps. If you are still under warranty, it might not hurt to give Audi a call and see if they can fix the issue via software update.

    Plus 1 for the DRLs off in the "0" position. When waiting for the wife in a parking garage and backed into a space... Everyone driving by thinks you're leaving with DRLs on. Easier to turn them off via switch while waiting... Forever I might add. :icon thumright:

    Missing subwoofer adjustment control

    I do not have the number handy but if you let them know there is a bulletin for MMI software update to get subwoofer adjustment, they should know how to look it up to apply it. You can always call up and confirm before booking the appointment to be sure they know what you are referring to.

    Missing subwoofer adjustment control

    Yes, there is a MMI update for those with B&O installed without subwoofer control. They should be able to update it for you if under warranty.

    Esc, hill assist faults!?

    Yeah, sounds like something electrical is going on. Do you have an Autoscan? You could always try posting in the VCDS forums since you have the tool.

    Esc, hill assist faults!?

    Did you code the battery to the car? The alternator profile will change once the car is told a new battery is installed. If yes to those you might have something deeper going on electrical wise.

    Best and most unobtrusive/up to date high res dashcam

    I have experience with 2 dashcam brands. Blackvue and Garmin. The Blackvue is hardwired into the S3 and is certainly more noticeable than the Garmin. I installed in right in front of the rearview mirror so I cannot see it while driving. The app and video quality is really clear and I have had...

    Esc, hill assist faults!?

    What is your typical drive cycle? Do you do a lot of highway driving or more around town / short trips? The latter would put a bit more strain on the battery as it does not have as much time to charge back up after sitting. I assume you have had the battery changed before or is this the...

    March 2019 brake fluid change

    Common misconception to spell it as "hydro" thinking water. It is actually hygroscopic. I constantly got corrected in auto school for that one and now lives with me forever. On another note, those tools are very helpful. I have the tests strips myself.

    Correct. Haldex fluid done every 3 years regardless of mileage.

    Facelift No heating on foot well?

    There is a known issue with flap motors on the HVAC system for the 8V. First step is to save the fault codes, clear them and then run the end stop calibration within basic settings. Usually this fixes the issue the first time. If the fault returns, most likely issue with the flap motor. There...

    March 2019 brake fluid change

    For us stateside it's 2 years straight out from delivery. Would make sense that Audi can get another year from the factory since it is more of an controlled environment. It can take up to 8 months for some over here in NA to receive their vehicles so I guess they kept it to 2 years.

    Goodbye Vauxhall (sort of), well hello Audi S3

    My apologies that I forgot to clarify engine type. You may be 80,000 for the change if B-cycle model:

    Goodbye Vauxhall (sort of), well hello Audi S3

    Interesting to see this for the 7 speed. I have a 2017 with 6 speed so filter changes still applies for my side. I would be curious to see your filter condition when the time comes (if you ever change it that is). I assume your 7 speed still has the filter housing on top of the transmission?

    Goodbye Vauxhall (sort of), well hello Audi S3

    Where did you see it listed for life? DSG fluid and filter should be changed ever 40,000 miles according to my service documents (for the S3 that is). Of course they do modify these quite a bit over the life of the car but it would be crazy to not change the DSG fluid and filter at regular...

    Facelift Rear Wheel Stuck on !!!!!!!!! SAFETY warning!

    Sadly common on VW / Audi models. I use a wire brush and clean the hub surface as well as the inner wheel. Then I apply a very light amount of anti seize compound. Only clean the lug bolts (no compound).
