    Uniroyal Tyres

    Anyone ever used Uniroyal tyres? Any good? I’ve heard good things about the Rainsports in the past and mine is due some new tyres shortly. I’ve been looking at these and Goodyear Eagle F1 assy 5’s. Had Michelin PS4S in the past and didn’t rate them for the money.

    S3 Coolant light?

    I’ve got a 68 plate S3 and whilst on my way home ten minutes ago, the check coolant warning light came on and then went off. It did it again a few minutes later and went off again! Pulled in and looked at the coolant tank and it was below min but the engine had been running but couldn’t see...

    Servicing query

    I've currently got a 68 plate S3 saloon. The servicing schedule is set to flexible as I mainly do motorway miles (I know there's different opinions on this but that isn't what I'm asking!) and I'm coming up to needing its first service. My question is, and apologies if it's a stupid one, which...

    S3 service schedule

    I’ve got a post WLTP 68 plate S3 which is slowly coming up on 10k miles. The servicing schedule is set to what I believe to be the longer intervals between servicing (17k I think?). I’m mainly doing motorway miles at the minute, so I’m tempted to keep to the longer interval. On my Golf R I...

    Virtual Cockpit display

    I might be being thick but is there a way on the virtual cockpit to display mpg? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Also, is there an option on the S3 for customizing the dials? I've seen on the R8 they had boost, oil pressure, etc, not particularly fussed about having it but was looking and...

    Ending PCP early

    I’ve had my S3 saloon since early January which I bought brand new as a factory order. The cars mint but it looks like due to a job move, I’ll have to have a company car. They won’t offer me an allowance or anything. So realistically I’ve now no use for the S3, I’ve had a look around and my...

    S3 Saloon detailed

    Recently had my new S3 Saloon detailed by a good friend of mine, Matt at Obsidian Detailing. Unbelievably good at what he does. This is the second car of mine he's done and his work is immaculate. Some images on his FB page...

    Drivers door handle?

    I might be being thick but I've only just noticed that the drivers door handle has the lock exposed. Does it normally have a cover on, i.e. like the Golf R which had a cap which sat over it. Can someone with a recent model S3 confirm if it should have a cover or have I just not noticed that it...

    Buzzing noise?!

    On the way home this evening, I heard a ‘buzzing’ noise when the cars at low revs, mainly when I’m off the accelerator and it’s using the engine braking. It’s around 2000rpm or there abouts. I can’t pinpoint it at the minute. Cars a 68 plate S3 saloon. Anyone any ideas?

    2018 S3 front assist?

    Does anyone know if the most recent S3’s (post wltp if it matters) are fitted with the front assist braking system? The one that senses something in the road and slams on the anchors? Can’t say I’ve noticed the radar on the front and I’m away from the car so can’t check.

    Insurance drama

    I picked my brand new 68 plate s3 saloon up on Wednesday. I’ve come to insure it today and none of the websites can find it by the reg. I’ve then tried finding it by model and it’s giving me the options of S3 190ps, s3 310ps and s3 fsi t quattro. Now I’m positive it’s not a 190 or 310 as...

    S3 Saloon additions

    Can anyone recommend some bits for my new S3 saloon that’s due from the factory just before Christmas. I’m after some S3 logo mats, realise these will probably have to be custom. Also, can anyone recommend some good sill protectors? I’ve got Lockwood on my Golf R but they don’t seem to do...
