    My S3 nearly went on fire after a service

    OK maybe the title is rather dramatic, however driving down a high street seeing this is quite worrying (51 seconds in): A bit of backstory: My S3 was in for a service at West London Audi and to my surprise the thermostat was leaking. It was replaced under warranty and stayed overnight. The...

    Dashcam gem

    Driving through Central London late last night, a very noisy M135i tried it on with me, resulting in a nice camera flash for him... :whip: Before anyone mentions it, no I wasn't egging him on or speeding, in fact it was the opposite. I'm not going to be a nob in Central London or any populated...

    Embarrassing squeaky tyres!

    Anybody else with an S3 have the odd occasional tyre squeal when turning out or into junctions where the tyres squeal? It's becoming increasingly common in my PFL S3 even under light acceleration, as this video shows here: It really is quite embarrassing, especially when driving through quaint...

    Potholes! Can I still drive on this tyre?

    Spotted some alloy damage on my S3 as the photo shows. Friend suggests it's from a pothole. Am I allowed to drive on this tyre?

    So pops and crackles for the PFL is apparently possible...

    Not sure how to feel about this. A company on Facebook have confirmed to me that they can get crackles out of the PFL S3 as they have the available software. They say not a lot of people have the software in the UK. They've proposed £350 for a stage 1 remap including crackles and dyno. Figures...

    Has anyone gone ahead with retrofitting a sound system?

    The stock sound system in the 8v is simply shocking at motorway speeds. Around town it's bearable but the distortion when turned up is horrific. It's getting to the point where I'm considering modifications to rectify this. I've seen previous posts with people saying it costs a bomb for a B&O...

    Ruined my pride... and my alloy!

    So this afternoon I lost all pride as I've curbed my first ever wheel... and it's really not a pretty sight. As I approach a very narrow laned motorway (Chiswick Roundabout for those in London), I see a van wanting to merge into the second lane. To help ease congestion I let him through, not...

    S-tronic on my PFL showing wear...

    Hello, I've been loving my PFL S3 for the month I've had it now. However something that's raising concerns is the s-tronic. Referring back to my previous thread I've now noticed a further problem: http://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/s3-pfl-confused-s-tronic-gearbox.318826/#post-2974155...

    S3 PFL... confused S-tronic gearbox?

    Hi all, I've now had my new (to me) S3 for over a week now. Every once in a while the S-tronic gearbox gets freezes for a few seconds when downshifting into first gear at speeds of 20 and under, something that's proven to be incredibly unsafe at the worst of times! After a few seconds the...

    Deposit down on a Panther Black PFL S3!

    Hello, Thought I'd introduce myself on here I've been constantly following the thread on here ever since I placed the deposit on my 65 plate S3 two weeks ago. :yahoo: I can't pick it up until April as that's when I get my 2 years no claims bonus - being 20 years old meant waiting until I could...
