    Hatchback vs Sedan! What to buy?

    Sedan is much nicer - Looks a bit like the old RS4 B7

    RS3 Post & pre WLTP drag race. Interesting !!

    I've owned a facelift S3 and ran against a pre facelift S3 a few times... If pulling half a cars length or so is classed as 'left for dead' then so be it!:tearsofjoy:

    Facelift High Beam Failure

    That is strange indeed. The headlight was installed at a dealer but they informed me no coding was necessary. The headlight supply error is a strange one also. Today I tried a basic settings of the headlights on obdeleven and both right and left headlights came back with the same supply error. I...

    Facelift High Beam Failure

    No problem buddy thanks for the info. So assuming mine are full LEDs there will also be seperate bulbs for the high beam?

    Facelift High Beam Failure

    Mine are LED Xenon's (non matrix however). Think all new S3s come with Xenon's. That's interesting so it could be the bulb for the high beam that's bad also. Just adds to the mix of possibilities great!

    Facelift High Beam Failure

    Thanks buddy. I will ask my dealer to have a look at the contacts today. Am I correct in assuming there are no seperate bulbs for the high beams? On previous cars it was just a separator that opens/closes.

    Facelift High Beam Failure

    Hi all, Recently replaced my passenger side headlight after developing substantial water ingress after discovering a small crack in the lens. This previously led to the main beam, high beam and cornering lights all going out . Installed the replacement headlight unit today (identical part...

    Facelift S3 8V gearbox malfunction at 13K mileage

    I would say if you can still drive it may be ok. When mine went it would not budge. Could not select gears nothing in fact the gear selector was stuck completely. Could even try a DSG reset if you have obdeleven. A lot of the problems with the dq381 seem to be related or caused by the software

    Facelift Headlight Failure

    Anyone know if the xenon headlamps from a facelift A3 sportback and facelift S3 are directly transferable?

    Facelift Headlight Failure

    I have managed to get a small crack in my passenger side headlamp on my 2017 S3, this has led to water ingress and now the dipped beam has gone out. Unfortunately not covered under warranty as it's cracked. What's needed to get this working again? Replacement units part number 8V0941043F seem...

    Dragy

    Yes I have one! Absolutely fantastic piece of kit and invaluable if you plan to modify your car. I've stopped posting so much about my dragy times/mods in this forum as seems this place is much less receptive to performance comparisons/figures than other forums

    Facelift Modifications and Warranty

    Makes sense and my understanding also. I have kissed my engine drivetrains and gearbox warranty goodbye the moment I tuned it. Seems there is no link in my case between a tune and a headlight blowing out so it should be covered . No it's not.

    Facelift Modifications and Warranty

    How does modifications affect new car warranty? For example, you tune the car, turbo goes boom, clearly this is a big risk to warranty as the tune is clearly attributed to the failure. The owner in that instance rightfully so should fork out his own pocket for a new turbo. But what about...

    Facelift PCV Valve Leak

    What are the usual signs of a leakage in the PCV valve? I have a 2017 S3 and over the past 6 months I have removed and reattached the PCV breather hose several times as I have changed my turbo inlet pipe a few times. On my current turbo inlet pipe which is a forge one piece turbo inlet the PCV...

    Facelift Unicorn Stage 1 ECU Dragy Times

    It was 380hp/400ft lbs on stock cooler I would think around 390hp now with the intercooler! Adding the IC feels at least that much stronger anyway. Unfortunately not, I have however recorded 0-60 verified 3.3 seconds and 1/4 in 11.57!

    S3 stage 2 v RS3 stage 1

    Was the S3 Facelift or Pre-Facelift as the Facelift tend to be making a fair bit more than the Pre-Facelift on Stage 1/2 Maps . Need clarification as to whether we're referring to Prefacelift or Facelift S3s. If the latter I'm not sure I would agree with you that a properly set up Stage 2 FL...

    Facelift DSG DQ381 Torque Capacity

    I did not say it was a common problem but simply referred to that thread as an illustration of another DQ381 car experiencing similar issues. Of course it is not a common problem, for starters there are probably not enough tuned facelift cars out there with stage 1 running high torque in order...

    Facelift DSG DQ381 Torque Capacity

    I was of the same opinion, apparently we are both possibly wrong. Documented here and plenty of other threads with the DSG 7 Speed struggling with HO maps: https://www.golfmk7.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42995&page=2

    Facelift DSG DQ381 Torque Capacity

    Car did not exhibit any of the symptoms referred to yesterday on my drive this morning. Very strange behaviour indeed. Booked in for a DSG Tune tomorrow morning so will update you all whether that will provide the fix. I am confident it will do.
