I'm considering coming back to S3 ownership after a couple of years in beemer-land. I'd inherited a 53-plate E60 530d, which although is a fantastic motor, has proved very costly to keep on the road. BM servicing is an absolute killer, and with a new set of run-flats needed every year at £200 a...

I've been fortunate enough to acquire a new car, and as much as I want to, I can't really justify keeping my current S3. The money is not as important as the ease with which it is sold - I'm terrified of a private sale with the inevitable band of tyre-kickers, I don't want to trade it in for...

I have a 2001 51 S3. This morning, backing out of my drive, I went over a small 3-inch kerb lip with a bit of bump, then as soon as I went to move forward there was a very loud grating kind of sound, as if something was actually scarping along the ground. I think I've narrowed it down as coming...

Hello I've got a 2001 (51) S3 on the long life service plan. Has just done 53,000 miles, and had a service on 45,000 last December. The computer is telling me it's another 10,000 miles to go before the next service. I had planned to get another service done in December, but that's only about...

On several occasions now, I've noticed my fuel gauge playing around. I'll start the car up, and it will read half full, then when I turn the engine off and start again, it's at virtually empty, and the computer is telling me to fill up. It's happened too often now for it just to be a one off...

Think this query may have been posted before, but does anyone know if the 18-inch Avus alloys which come with the S4 will fit the S3? I've seen a few S4's recently, and they really do look the business. If so, what sort of prices? Thanks for any assistance.

Hello, I'd be grateful for some advice on this matter. I have an '51 S3, heard a little ping on the windscreen on Saturday, looked over only to see a 2-inch hariline fracture from the edge of the windscreen inwards. Was only doing around 30mph as well. Never had one of these before, doubt...

S3 owner for six months, have noticed the suspension "creaking" quite a lot lately, almost like floorboards. Haven't made any modifications to the wheels, suspension, or any of the chassis. It's mainly over rough roads when it happens - lots of driving in the Yorkshire Dales - and you can...
