I had this happen to me .. Gearbox at 24k miles imploded for inside to out .. I looked into it and could see a clear trend with facelift models 17/18 .. Having bought 5 S3’s from Aberdeen Audi I will now never give them any business again due to the treatment and lies I received .. I asked them...

*UPDATE* Well its been a long road but finally Audi UK admitted my gearbox implosion was exactly due to the recall issues! My box was sent to Germany and they have taken over 2 months to conclude this...I was told they have been checking all logs from my car to see if there was slightest...

Aberdeen Audi confirmed my gearbox suffered the exact issue regarding the recall but I’m now waiting to see if it will be covered as the repair was done a week before the recall came out Gearbox went in July , surely can’t weasel out of it…

This is what happened to mine, something internally burst through the casing and Aberdeen Audi refused to investigate root cause! I’ve not been given any explanation of what happened but I have the 381 gearbox … Was told any investigation was to be funded by myself yet the part is an ‘ exchange...

Car is totally stock… Update from Audi uk this am confirmed the recall is directly related to bolts coming off the hydraulic pump causing internal damage to the gearbox! Opened a new car case with Audi Uk and motor ombudsman case also updated with this recall info..

I find this very interesting!! I just got stung with zero help from Audi for my 2017 S3 (24k miles) gearbox to the tune of £7k! Something came loose in gearbox and caused a hole in the casing.. All my research led to a definite issue with the facelift gearboxes but I was met with total disregard...

So, these were the parts that the mechanic found on the tray below the gearbox .. Been quoted £7k for Audi to repair and currently in a battle with Audi Uk to take some form of ownership.. My local Audi dealership not really giving any assistance even though I was lining up my 5th S3 from them!

I got it diagnosed by a local garage to me but has to go into Audi to be re-diagnosed to attempt to get any good will from Audi uk .. Not holding my breath Thanks for all replies tho!

Car just turning 5 years old but completely agree .. My 5th S3 so I’m hoping I get somewhere with Audi ‍♂️

Complete wrong spy above - Diff went and has punctured the gearbox - New gearbox required Worst possible outcome …

This seems to be the source.. Just below the prop shaft it looks like a plate or similar missing and a seal etc is visable right where the leak started … Anyone know what this is ?! Car gets picked up tomorrow to go to the garage..

No, no warning lights or anything showing up! This is my 5th S3 and I’ve never had any issues with any of them to date either…

Don’t think I’ve ever launched it, obv gets driven across the board but I only do about 400 miles a month!

Here’s hoping 5years or 60k miles but I’ll not hold my breath !!

S3 8v 25k miles : About 1 mile from home I heard a ‘Pop’ and by time I got home there was a lot of oil all over the bottom of engine bay and was leaking heavily. It’s not engine oil and is clear and odourless. My guess was power steering but that’s fine, when I went to drive car just off the...

Hi, I’m looking to change from S3 to an RS3 and had it out for a test drive .. My S3 is 57 plate so facelift and the RS is a 65 so preface lift .. I noticed the MMI screen has a much larger border on the RS - Can you have this updated / flashed to increase the size ?! ( sorry if this has been...

I had in my last 8P S3 and i fairly noticed a difference but i found that sometimes with the boost being less 'laggy', that traction control was coming on a lot more than stock..Anyone else found that? I now have 8V and i am swaying on ordering as i didn't want a repeat but performance wise i...

Hi guys, Just wondered if anyone has fitted this to their 8V and has any +/- feedback? I had this on my 8P and was quite impressed but i had read up on a good few reviews prior to taking the plunge! Cheers Gnic

Hi Guys, Looking to pull the trigger on this car next week and it is a good distance from home so just checking if anyone knows the car and if any dodgy history etc.. Thanks Gary
