    Audi A3 8V Knocking/Clicking noise when turning the steering wheel

    Same problem here, 33k miles since brand new FL S3. Took it twice to different garages and they cannot find the fault. It is really annoying. I have been very unlucky with my S3, gearbox and exhaust system replaced after 6k miles now the car is in garage again with Mechatronics fault and new...

Before you all slate me here, I know there are loads of posts here. Can you recommend something that won't break my bank account and add some...

    New Shape S3

    Agree with you as I was concerned that 8v will look like 8p, (which still looks decent for its age) after the new shape release.

    First service?

    The car is only 18 months old and I was expecting oil change to come up around 20,000miles.

    First service?

    Need your advice please. My S3 is showing an oil change is due at 15000 miles. Called audi Guildford and they have quoted £400+ and for a first service it sounds a bit expensive. Never paid more than 250-300 with MBZ or BMW. Is it how much it is? Thank you

    Yes, wheel brace would be handy to have as well. This is the worst flat tyre experience in my 30 years of driving

    Guys, thank you very much for your replies. Had a very bad evening and first annoyance with my S3. As there is no jack and did not want to use the weld in a 3 days old PS4 tyre.
