    Removal keys stuck in RNS-E

    Help! 2 of the keys have become stuck in my RNS-E. Problem is, I have no Audi anymore so I can't slot it back in and try pull it out again. Will a screw driver or something gently slipped into the side of the key move it a bit or has anyone got experience of getting stuck keys out some...

    Sold the S3 !

    Hi lads.. Haven't been on here in AGES! After months of debating between a new A5, demo S5, Cayman S and BMW 335i M sport I finally made a choice yesterday! First off, the S3 was sold to a prestige cars dealer in Dublin but on a private sale effectively.. And yesterday I went for a demo 335i M...

    Recall on the S3 - dealer just told me

    Guys, have my S3 booked into dealer tomorrow morning as one of the xenons seems to be working one minute and not the next and they also told me there's 2 recalls on the S3. One is a change on the ECU and one is to check the fan. Not sure if it's ROI only but just thought I would give the...

    Clarkson reviews S3 in Sunday Times...

    Anyone see it yet? He spent most of the column talking absolute rubbish and then says "buy an R32". http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/driving/jeremy_clarkson/article1776405.ece

    S3 stepping out is doing my head in

    Here's the scene...Heading for 80/90/100 mph, need to brake hard enough and although the car is clearly slowing, the back starts to step out so off goes the foot, let it clean up a little and back on with the brakes. It's only the 2nd time it's done it but it was the same experience and...

    My S3 gets it 3 times a week!!

    Last Thursday week I filled up. I drove from the east of Ireland to the west and on the way, on a Sunday, I had to fill up. I did a bit of driving down there and back to Dublin on the Monday and by Tuesday, I was out of petrol again. I have never in my life had to fill a car 3 times in 5 days...

    Anyone else get asked this when people see your car?

    Why didn't you get an Audi TT? I think it's the one question which sums up what type of driver you are. When you tell them your "A3" was actually more expensive than the TT then that's it, you nearly have to pick them up off the floor. I've been asked about 10 times now since getting my...

    Gave in and bought an RNS-E !

    Bought one on ebay last night from Topsatnav. The unit looks brand new and comes with all the bits. Anyone know if I just have to take out my CD based sat nav unit and slot in the new one and away it goes seeing as my car came with the older sat nav factory fitted?

    The only 2 complaints about my S3

    I've knocked up nearly 4,000 kms on her now and it revs more and sounds louder than it did on day 1. My two complaints ! The rear parcel shelf makes far too much noise over bumps, my A3 2.0 TDI did this also - very annoying. And the second one is to do with the speakers. When the radio...

    S3 top speed limited?

    Now before anyone asks, yes this really was a private road. But, on Saturday I was very lucky to be given the chance of seeing just how much the S3 had. According to the car's digital speedo I reached 160 mph before I just decided enough was enough. The revs were above 6,000 rpm in 6th but...

    S3 MPG - what are you guys doing??

    I have yet to manage more than 240 miles / 390 kms out of a tank ! Computer pretty much says 22/23 mpg most of the time. I have a mate with an Astra VXR and he gets 600 kms out of a tank sometimes?!

    Got the S3 this morning..

    Very sleepness night due to excitment and being sick with cold but at 7.15 this morning I got my hands on the S3! All I could do really was drive to work so I can't tell you an awful lot about it apart from that it's fast and has so much more grip than the GTI in the little bit of driving I...

    New model A3 losing radio reception a lot??

    This has happened the last two weeks just while driving? ALL the stations go crackly and I just get "white noise" instead of the station! I know the aerial is in the rear window but the CD player/tape etc works fine - it's just the radio. Also the leather cover on the gearstick is cracking in...

    Anyone else get a river when they open the boot??

    Right, it's taken exactly a month for me to find something that pi55es me off with this car and here it is!!! When it has rained and you open the boot, water runs down the inside and spills all over the inside of the boot, a lot of water. Now I work as a DJ so I have CDs in my boot 90% of the...

    Is my TDI a little heavy on juice?

    Just a simple question really for existing 2.0TDI owners - how much did the consumption relax by when the engine got to about 1K on the clock? Reason I ask is this, the odd, odd time I would see 29MPG on the computer and it generally around town with average driving sits at about 33-36MPG...

    Anyone got a new model A3 with a sunroof?

    I had a loan car last week and I opened the sunroof that it had and at anything over 20mph I got that DREADFUL wind noise that you sometimes get when you open the rear windows on a 5 door car on the motorway. It is clearly a major design fault, was just wondering if anyone had experienced it.
