Recently sold my 2017 S3 8V Sportback, which I'd fitted OEM rubber front and rear mats to. So I have the original OEM front and rear carpet mats for sale. These were taken out of the car at 2,500 miles, replaced with the rubber ones and kept in clean dry storage ever since. Excellent condition...

Not a post I expected to be making anytime soon, I had planned to keep the S3 for the long-haul. But then COVID happened and I don't need to commute - working from home has become a long-term reality (which the dog is super happy about - the wife less so, lol). The car just hasn't been used...

So, the reliability issues surrounding the Karcher K4 are pretty well documented - after a while they will wet the bed. I've counted myself lucky that mine has lasted 2.5 years before losing bladder control (others on here get through one every season - a certain @jassyo06 is probably on his 5th...

Too ruddy quiet on this forum these days, so here’s a topic to hopefully get a little light hearted conversation going, lol. Last night was a bit cold. I took the dog out for a walk first thing and there was a little bit of frost. Well, I say frost, more like cold dew on the grass. But don’t...

Was out on my drive washing the car this morning, when a black Golf R screamed to a halt on the pavement at the end of the drive, and 3 lads piled out, all wearing ski-masks and hoodies. The 3 of 'em came at me repeatedly shouting "GIVE US THE ****** KEYS'. One of 'em right up in my grille...

If you’re reading this, you probably like detailing. A bit too much. And you’ve probably got a few products sat on your detailing shelf that you’re not using. So why not pass them onto someone else on the forum who could make good use of them? A couple of examples... I had a tin of Hammerite...

So, on the way to work this morning the tiny little original Mini in front of me obviously had an inferiority complex (little man syndrome, lol) and kicked a ruddy great boulder at my windscreen. Annoying as I was just admiring it - was a nice example! Thought I'd got away with it (bar a...

Been wanting to tackle my rusty wheel hubs and protect my alloys with a quartz coating for a while now. That’s obviously a wheels off job. I don’t put a lot of faith in the scissor jack supplied with the car (aka the Widow Maker, this is for emergency use only IMO), so I set about researching...

So, I’m 6 months into owning my S3, loving the experience and proud to own my Audi. I don’t consider myself a ‘badge snob’, I just like decent motors and in the past have enjoyed owning and running quality variants from VW (Corrado), SEAT (special edition Leon), Honda’s and even an MG (don’t...

Inspired by a couple of quality posts on another thread, this can be a place where we post pictures of our pride and joys under the flattering light of garage forecourt/multi-storey car park LED lighting to really show-off how amazing our cars look after they’ve been properly detailed. A few to...

The card version? Specifically the expiry date on it? The date next to ‘4b’ on the front of your card? Was v. surprised to spot tonight that mine had expired recently, and I hadn’t received a reminder to renew it:blink:. I’ve obviously sorted this out straight away online on gov.uk (really easy...

Trying to establish if this... http://www.audipartsdirect.co.uk/product/Audi_A3_Sportback_Semi_Rigid_Load_Liner_8V4061180 ...will fit my 2017 Sportback S3, but the details I can find online are a bit sketchy. I already have the matching front and rear rubber floor mats, and v.happy with the...

Anyone else have these? Thought they were standard but then realised most S3’s don’t seem to have ‘em. Are they purely cosmetic, or do they perform any useful function?! Rear (near side): Front (offside):

As per thread title really, want to seal my wheels, and will go down the wax route for now rather than a ceramic coating. Have the matt titanium v-spokes with diamond cut face (and the matt titanium paint has a slight texture to it) so interested in opinions on whether PoorBoys Wheel Sealant or...

So, I’ve been reading this forum for a while, and saving up for my (nearly) new facelift S3 Sportback for quite a bit longer. I’ve started posting on this forum today, but I’ve realised the correct etiquette is probably to introduce myself as a newbie and say “hi”. I’m no boy racer, just a...

Met up with an old mate the other day, who now works at Audi. It was the first time he’d seen my new FL S3 Sportback and he commented that next time it’s in for a service Audi would be pulling out the ‘phone box’ in the armrest which connects my mobile directly to the car aerial for better...
