    Gearbox malfunction - Parking Lock fault

    It really put me off to be honest. It's years since I had any issues with cars as I always have nearly new or new and this one having that issue so early on put me off. I know I'm really fickle but I started looking around and telling dealers what I wanted for it and ended up getting the same...

    Gearbox malfunction - Parking Lock fault

    Just an update on this. When I arrived at the dealer, they had ordered the part ready to fit. It was the parking lock actuator microswitch that needed replacing.

    Gearbox malfunction - Parking Lock fault

    Good evening everyone, I just wondered if anyone has experienced this problem with their new 8y S3 model? I selected D yesterday and it went with a slight 'clunk'. It set off ok but a yellow message came up saying 'gearbox malfunction' (and something like ok to continue driving) so I drove...

    Glacier white vs normal white (forgot the name)

    I have a glacier s3 and I can see the metallic flake in it when it’s clean and sunny but I wouldn’t pay extra if I was buying new. It was a used one with 5k miles

    Golf R v RS3

    I bought a brand new unregistered polo gti in Sept 2022. It was quite a good spec with pano roof, camera, upgraded factory alloys etc. I couldn't get comfortable in it. It felt like I was sitting on it rather than in it if that makes sense. Even with the seats on the lowest setting, it just...

    Exhaust tips

    I've got the 8Y model and I agree, the tips do look bigger than the 19 reg I had.

    PCP and ownership

    I’m on my phone and can’t seem to get a link. They have 30 a3/s3 and it’s the highest priced one. I searched using used/a3/auto/petrol and it shows 30, a mix of a3 and s3 .

    PCP and ownership

    If you go onto the jct600 site and search a3/s3 it’s there. Think it was Navarra blue. I’ve just bought elsewhere but was looking to see if the white hatch I test drove had sold.

    PCP and ownership

    The prices I quoted £35500 for a Dec 2021 S3 saloon with 5k miles on that I bought and the brand new one was available for just under £40k were cash without any finance offers/savings. If you watch autotrader, S3's do come on there at reasonable prices. Coulsdon audi (which I think is...

    PCP and ownership

    I don't know what spec it is or extras it has on it. I did take pics of the outside of it though while I was waiting in the showroom to collect mine. He offered it me when I contacted them about the 71 reg. He gave me the choice but as I pay cash for my cars, there was a £5k ish difference...

    Audi new stock at local dealer

    I collected a 71 reg s3 saloon just over a week ago and was offered the same colour (glacier white) brand new in the showroom but I went for the used one. It was Sytner Leicester I'm sure he said it was a cancelled order. I've dealt with a chap called Amar if you are interested. He was great

    Facelift New headlights, erm, why ?

    Thanks I'm enjoying it so far. It's into the dealer on Wednesday for the UTR fitting that I had fitted in my s3 and only used for a few hundred miles. They are fitting it for free due to their s line car coming with film and not privacy glass as it should have. They didn't tell me it hadn't...

    Facelift New headlights, erm, why ?

    I didn't want to go over the £40k new as I only drove 2k miles in the last year and only insure for 6k miles anyway It's a tdi s line avant 4 months old in glacier white. I downsized in September from a c43 to a bmw x2 but have gone back to an estate. The x2 was quite basic, cloth seats, no...
