    Recall - issued 02/09/2022

    Trying to work this out from the post, if they update the car and it flags it's about to fail do they cover the work under a recall? Asking as my car is well out of warranty. Assuming the work is significant if the update flags it?

    Haldex service

    I paid £80 at an indy and they sent me photos of the clogged up filter, cheers Audi for not bothering when they did it 8k ago... https://pinnacle-automotive.co.uk/fixed-price-servicing

    I like the standard wheels but just not blacked out. Thought about getting them diamond cut?

    Facelift Tyre Time

    Thinking about it the rim protection on the P4 is pretty useless. I kerbed my wheel on the lowest park of a drop kerb. Tears were shed...

    Facelift Tyre Time

    I have Pilot Sport 4 all round on my 18" wheels, the grip is spot on. If you buy through BlackCircles with code PSDEAL you can get 4 for £374 fitted.

    Typical mileage for brake pads and discs?

    Just done my fronts at 33k miles, could have probably pushed it a bit longer but think they only had a few mm left. Rears are due soon too.

    Discs not wearing evenly

    I was pretty careful and didn’t use much grease (used pad goo), also cleaned the discs fairly with brake cleaner after fitting. Will probably just leave them a bit longer and see what happens, worst case I guess is just stick another set of pads on.

    Discs not wearing evenly

    I’ve recently changed my front discs and pads on my s3, fitted OE Brembo. One side is fine but the other has a band at the top and bottom of the disc. When initially fitting I did accidentally bend the anti rattle clip but managed to bend it back. I also cleaned all of the contact points with...

    S3 exhaust tips

    I couldn't get mine off on my facelift either, tried hitting with a hammer and block of wood from the back. Gave up in the end.

    S tronic Shift Lever Broken Ring

    Mine has also broken, wonder if anyone could 3d print one. Seems pointless to buy a whole new gear knob for a bit of plastic. Any thoughts?

    Washing Observations

    I used http://www.kcgdetailing.co.uk/ for a two stage polish and then application of Gyeon Can coat. Did a great job and wasn't badly priced. https://www.facebook.com/KCGvaleting/

    S3 waterpump and thermostat

    As far as I am aware there isn't, think they are on something like revision K for the part number. Really ****** me off how Audi take no responsibility for this, even a discounted labour rate would be nice. My car is a 2017 with full Audi service history, absolutely no flexibility from them...

    S3 waterpump and thermostat

    I had the same thing Audi saying it wasn’t a common issue, both Audi UK and the dealer. The best comment was that I shouldn’t trust what I read online as they aren’t qualified Audi mechanics, I pointed out a large amount had been diagnosed by Audi… Can’t remember how many but I think there’s...
