Hi all, My 2015 3.0 V6 TDI C7 broke down a few weeks ago.... horrible misfire while on the motorway, switched engine off and it wouldn't restart. There was a code relating to fuel pressure. (Sorry, didn't get a chance to record full code) It's been recovered to a VAG specialist and their first...

Hi all, I have "the noise" coming from my rear diff and I HAVE READ the existing threads on this but I have what appears to be a new symptom.... I have owned the car for 4 years and have put up with a small amount of noise from the rear diff for most of that time. It recently stopped...

Hi all, Wondering if the accident repair centre have fitted the wrong wing... according to ETKA, the front (left) wing on a pre-facelift S3 is 8L9 821 105. The post-facelift part number has an 'A' on the end. How significant is the A? Does anyone know whether or not there is a difference...

I've put up with this for a while but it's got to the point that it's doing my head in..... at tick over the engine coughs and does the same when maintaining speed or pulling away (both using low revs) under accelleration or breaking the engine seems fine - no coughs or splutters til I come to...

I want to buy a more recent CD/DVD for my Navigation Plus - does anyone know what I should be looking for? What is RNS-E? A picture of the head unit can be seen here (if it helps??) http://www.chrispegler.co.uk/s3/IMAG0032.jpg. Thanks :thumbsup:

Suffered several weeks ago when a drunken t**t drove on the wrong side of the road into the front of my much loved S3...... got my car back from the accident repair centre last week and have not been happy with the work... I have returned it so many times, they've told me they've had enough...

Does anyone know how easy/difficult it would be to replace the ECU of a pre-facelift S3 with a second hand ECU from another pre-facelift S3? Thanks

I seem to have oil leaking from the back end of the car (next to the back box) is this from the diff? Could it cause a slight grinding noise when dipping the clutch to change gear when the engine is cold? Thanks!

Hi all, Recently fitted new outer track rods and track rod ends and one new tyre on the front of my 1999 S3. Ever since (about 2 weeks now) I have had extreme torque steer when accelerating. Happens under gentle and hard acceleration. The tracking has been checked and is spot on...

Please can you advise how I adjust the alignment of my drivers-side headlight? It has been pointing straight down since I changed a bulb on that side a few weeks ago. P.s. I've checked the connections to the auto-levelling sensors and all is working normally. Both headlight motors move, it's...

I have sourced a replacement climate control unit for my S3.... when I went to chage it over, I found the new one (from a 52 plate) has an extra connection on the back. It has the 4 brown multi-pin connectors as the original unit but also has a 2 pronged connector on one side. Does anyone know...

Last time I asked for help with this, I didn't get much of a response... I'm trying my luck for a second time. I am in the process of installing a 'facelift' centre console into my pre-facelift S3. I'm nearly there and just need to see pictures of a facelift centre console (with different...

Hi all, Just wondered if anyone knows whether or not the DVLA will accept a completed form if I have printed it out from their website...? Thanks in advance. Chris.

Hi all, Basically, to help with a small dilema, I am looking for pictures of centre consoles from A/S3's. I would be very grateful if you could post your pics here. Pre and post facelift pics appreciated! Here's why (if you care)... I have a pre-facelift S3. The previous owner fitted the...

My alarm hasn't been working correctly for some time now. It doesn't seem to set when the doors are locked and the lights on the doors don't flash either... Recently, it's started a new habbit. When I start the engine and reverse off my driveway, the alarm beeps four times and then stops...
