I have owned my car since last September and on a few occasions i have thought my brakes weren't working as they should. Basically i have been approaching a roundabout for example, pressed the brake pedal, and i slow down, but not at the rate i should. The pedal feels firm but doesn't respond...

I've just bought a 2008 A4 Avant Sline with sat nav and i have to say my TomTom is far better. I have tried two addresses in the last couple of days and neither are on the map. When i bought the car the salesman was giving me the demo and tried my home post code which didn't come up either so he...

Is it true that xenon headlights must have washers in order to pass an mot test. ie Like the S3 pop washer jets. Nik.

Not S3 related but VW Golf. A mate i work with has a mk4 Golf GTI and today his outside temp display stopped giving a reading. Anyone know where the sensor is located ? (possibly door mirror) Thanks Nik.

Can anyone recommend a sat nav system around the 100 quid mark, i have been looking at the RAC 200 and Tom Tom One V3. Anyone got any views on either of these or suggest any others i should consider. Rac costs 89.99 and Play.com are doing the Tom Tom for 120 delivered. Thanks Nik.

Tonight i had a knock on the door from a neighbour informing me a little scrote had just ran across my bonnet :wtf: Luckily there doesn't appear to be any damage. I am a bit miffed the alarm didn't go off so is there anyway of increasing the sensitivity so if theres a next time i can catch...

Turned the lights on tonight and nearside not working, turn off and back on again and it lights up :think: Problem in the making i think to myself..... Not having a clue how these headlights work is it as simple as changing a bulb? Any help appreciated chaps. Nik.

I had my headlights reset three months ago and tonight the drivers side light decided it would point striaght down :wtf: Anyway when i arrived home i turn the engine off, restarted and hey presto the light went back up to its correct position. My question is....now the lights are where i...

Just noticed one or two minor scratches on the old body work and was hoping someone could recommend a product to remove them. Is T-cut still around or is that old hat now? Nik.

Having looked in Autotrader etc i have noticed that S3 prices are or can be quite inconsistant which makes putting a value on a car quite difficult. My car... 2000 X facelift. Ming Blue. 29k miles (loads of paperwork to verify) Full service history (Audi/specialist) Recent timing belt & water...

Whilst in the process of re loading the cd multichanger in the boot, which i have done once before, i couldn't work out what the changer was sat on. It's located in the LHS storage compartment in the boot by the way. The mystery object is looks like a speaker of some sort but probably its not...

On a long motor way run, no exciting driving, is it worth getting more petrol for your bucks by putting normal unleaded in the tank. Just a thought as i am covering a few miles this weekend and figured super unleaded may be a waste of cash. Nik.

Should an S3 give quite a kick under hard acceleration? I have never been in an S3 until i bought one so am not sure how fast these cars are supposed to feel. The car feels a little disapointing as i always thought of the S3 as a very quick car. I'm wondering if the build quality and lack of...

Afternoon everybody. Had my S3 for a month now and am thinking about a remap to unleash some more ponies. Previously had a remapped Impreza which had 305bhp, i do realise however that this figure is a bit out of the Audi's reach at the moment. The remap on the Impreza all in was around 1750...

As title what fuel are you supposed to use in an S3 (my00 210bhp). Reason i ask is i use Tesco's super unleaded and a guy i work with uses normal unleaded in his 225 TT. Am i wasting my money? Nik.

Anybody replaced their standard air filters with after market jobbies such as Green or K&N, if so any benefits? Nik.

Not had my car too long but one thing that is bugging me are the headlights. They dont seem to shine far enough ahead, about ten feet in front of the car. I have read about headlights moving up and down but mine are permanently in the same position. Is there a simple way of adjusting them? A...

What is the noise i can here when my engine is turned off (S3) Sounds like a pump or something. Similar sound on a V6 4 Motion i used to own. Nik.

As a new owner to the Audi S3 i am wanting some expert advice from fellow owners. I was talking to a guy today who informed me that the particular engine in the S3 is prone to water pump failure, is this the case? My car is a Nov 2000 face lift S3 with 25k on the clock. One last thing can...
