The indicators on my 2002 S3 have started to play up. If you indicate they seem to signal for 2/3 seconds and then just stop - it doesn't make any difference whether it's left or right. The fuse is fine and l'm fairly sure the bulbs are OK, so l guess there must be a suspect indicator relay...

Despite regularly replacing my wiper blades (usually with decent Bosch) they are noisy - squeak, etc. and it's really annoying. Also, last night whilst driving in the rain l noticed the drivers side was almost 'lifting' off the screen and not clearing the screen - actually quite dangerous...

.....for a 2002 S3 225 bhp (BAM engine). From what l understand there are different types/qualities. Thanks.

Got a Brembo front brake fitted to my 2002 S3 a few months ago and left all the original brakes in a box in my shed. However, we're moving house soon so the Management Committee has "suggested" l sell them rather than lugging 'yet more car parts' to the new house. Bless her ! So, someone make...

Might be a stupid question (so I apologise if it is) but if my 2002 S3 is now out of warranty, will the Stealers still replace coil packs free of charge?

I was wondering what settings you are using? I've played around with several settings, but still get "fluttering/very slight hesitation" particularly in 3rd gear hard acceleration. It feels like the ECU is pulling back the timing a little. I'm fully aware this had been discussed countless...

I know that the weather has changed and it is wet & damp, but l'm finding the rear window and rear side windows 'seem' to be permanently steamed up. I always have the climate control on and the windows are all closed properly. Admittedly l don't have it hot inside the car as l don't feel the...

Fitted the Brembo GT front brake package earlier in the year and they are awesome. But now, the standard rear S3 discs look a bit small and weedy so I would like to get new larger one's for the rear which match the front and are drilled. I will also need some adaptors to 'space' the calipers out...

Contacted my local Audi dealer (Amersham Audi - Wayside) today to enquire about extending the warranty on my 2002 S3 which runs out next month. The bloke was very helpful and suggested I first talk directly to Audi and he would also email me prices/details about the warranty that the dealer...

.....the cambelt and water pump changing if it is a 2002 S3 and done 43k miles. I asked my local specialist about doing a service and he 'advised' the cambelt and water pump should be changed. Car does approx. 6k miles a year and has a full Audi service history. I thought l could put it off...

.....how much should l expect to pay? Seeing as the car is still under the Audi warranty do l have to get a 'stealer' to do it or will a competant specialist do a better job? Thanks.

The engine management light has come up on the dashboard of my S3 and according to the vag.com it is the coolant sensor. However, the temp. is dead on 90 and it hasn't lost any water/coolant so is it just a faulty sensor? Where is it and how easy is it to replace. Can I do it myself as a...

A warning light has appeared within the 'speedo dial' on my S3. It is a picture of an engine, but I can't find any details in the owners manual about it. I think it came on after I pulled away hard with the ESP turned off - l felt a little bit of wheelspin and then it gripped as normal. What...

I know there are lots of posts about Haldex, BUT in layman's terms what does the upgrade do? So far, the best way it has been explained to me is if you drive round a roundabout in a standard S3 quicker and quicker then eventually the front end will understeer. WITH the Haldex upgrade you can...

I want to change the spark plugs in my S3 2002 225bhp, but I have read they are not that accessible. What is the best/easiest way to change them. I'm going for NGK PFR6Q gapped to 0.8mm. Cheers.....

Had my S3 Revo'd earlier this year and noticed soon after a slight "hesitation/fluffiness" when accelerating hard, particularly in 3rd gear. Had the MAF changed to a brand new one but it still isn't quite right - it's as if the ECU is 'pulling' the timing slightly back. It's been suggested that...
