    Installing an S3 grille on an A3 S-Line

    You are lucky to be able to order it, as in the UK you can only order parts to the spec. of your car chassis number, so you wouldn't be able to order an S3 grille if you had an A3.

    Climate Control System

    You can still have the window open with the climate system on, and if you have the temperature set to the outside ambient temperature, and the A/C and AUTO button to off, the climate system will be doing nothing, but you will have instant access to the switching of the recirculation button...

    Climate Control System

    I'm with AdamInKent, I don't understand why you are turning the whole system off. If it's about economy, the centre button allows you to to turn off the air con, but you still have the other controls available, just set your preferred temperature (mine is 20°), I doubt you'll notice any...

    Does the S3 exhaust start popping when it’s got a few k miles on?

It can be set manually in the individual mode (Engine Sound...

    Does the S3 exhaust start popping when it’s got a few k miles on?

    I thought the popping was just the cabin fed acoustics (through the speakers), and not the actual exhaust ??

    Non-Drill Roof Rails Installation on Audi 8Y 2022 S Line? Seeking Advice

    Not sure what you are after, as you say roof rails, and then refer to roof racks, and you say you don't plan to use the roof rails for real use. Do you just want roof rails for the aesthetics? If you want a roof rack, then OEM roof bars are available, think mine cost just over £200. Picture of...

    Audi s3 8y s tronic oil change interval question

    Not unusual for manufacturers to extend service intervals, always improving oils, maybe better filtration, analysis might show longer intervals..... if you're nervous about following the recommendation, I'm sure the dealer will happily take your money and do it now, in fact I'm surprised they...

    Windscreen Wash Spray Pattern

    Mine is December 2020, my spray pattern is not quite what I would describe as fan. There are three distinct jets on each side, but there is also spray which fills in the sections between the three primary jets, but at a lower pressure if that makes sense, so I do get full windscreen coverage of...

    S3 common issues?

    I went from an 8P S3, to the 8Y, and I would say the brakes have a very similar feel, I have no problem with them at all.

    Where can I find the original window sticker for [make]

    The sticker should also be in the front of the user manual supplied with the car. They used to be in the front of the service record book, but since service histories have gone electronic, they are now put in the front of the manual.

    Pre-sense braking

    I've had the car apply the brakes a few times now, once was a bit disturbing, as I was driving along a city road with cars parked either side, there was a car coming in the opposite direction, and we were approaching a cross roads where no cars are parked, and as I've done probably hundreds of...

    As an English person, I would say take the trunk out the boot, and the rattle will go with it.
