The price was good and I managed to agree that anything we paid would be fully refundable if the paperwork wasn't right, but just way too much hassle. The place is absolutely huge (they claim the site to be the world's largest dealership), so no concerns about the car being anything other than...

Thanks for the help guys - my mate bought the car yesterday, lovely motor, very nice condition bar a couple of stone chips and kerbed alloys - hopefully it'll give him a fair few years enjoyable motoring now. One thing though - huge warning about ever buying a car from Cargiant in London -...

Thanks guys, no obvious sign of auto lights or wipers but will check it out. In terms of things to check for - what are the most expensive things to fix on these? It's a manual so clutch? Turbo?

Hi guys, I used to be an avid reader of this forum a few years back when I owned (and loved) an 8L S3. A mate of mine is currently in the market for an 8P A3 and asked me for some advice...not knowing much about them I wondered if some of the friendly folk on here might be able to help offer...

No sun near the garage otherwise that'd be great, how do you turn the alarm off?

Cheers boys, no power in the garage so no option to trickle charge without taking the battery out every time. 540 A definitely the right power then? Too much like hassle to disconnect every time, think the reality is that I need to sell it, anyone want an S3?!

Apologies for starting a new thread on this, but have scoured the forum and can't find the answer... I don't currently drive the S3 much, it can spend 2-3 months at a time just sat in a garage, so I appreciate the battery is gonna have to be fairly decent...but I've had about 6 batteries...

I went for the £50 option this time I had my MOT, only later realised I'll probably not still have the car next year. I'm pretty sure I had a look and the paperwork implies it covers the car if I own it, but not the next person. Could be wrong though - good luck mate.

My S3 has now done over 100k, engine is great - replacing coils/anti roll bars/thermostat/alternator/battery etc is the painful bit! just be aware that the mileage will have taken it's toll on several components is all I'd say!

Does anyone know if the buttons on the chorus stereo pop out in the same way...then if anyone has any spares!

Cheers Maz, I grabbed an S4 unit a while back and hoping the buttons are the same, hadn't yet worked out how I'd tackle getting the buttons out!

Nope, just me lying on the floor poking a camera up there

Cheers guys, will be talking to the dealer first thing tomorrow, not happy at all - paid audi labour rates for peace of mind...

I think it's resting on a bit of the old coil... This was done at an Audi maindealer...

Err...just had a coil replaced, this is what it looks like...

Anyone got a photo of these fitted? Interested to see how noticeable the colour change is...

Hi guys, I've tried searching but no joy. Can anyone tell me what my options are for changing the existing single din Chorus tape player in my 2002 S3? I've got some button wear on it, so as far as I understand (assuming I can't be bothered to mess around with a double din cage etc) I...

Really geeky & uninteresting I know, but has anyone else noticed the online RAC advert where the van has Avus alloys?? Just interests me that a graphics designer has decided S3 rims are more likely to make people sign up for breakdown cover - maybe they're gently suggesting that their patrols...

Anyone else's discoloured like mine has? Not sure what the previous owner did to it Not a great photo - but to me it looks like it could have been caused by heat, rather than something being spilt on it. Can this bit of trim be picked up from Audi? (First time using Photobucket so...

Mines been like this for at least a year now - really annoying! Had it thoroughly investigated from the interior side and the chap found absolutely nothing. He greased every surface he could find (and most of my footwell) but couldn't find anything wrong. He was confident it was safe though...
