    Propshaft damper bush split

    Hi all, got a vehicle health check done whilst in for my transmission oil change. I was told that the propshaft damper bush is split and needs rectifying and they're not sure yet if this will be done under warranty. Should this be covered by warranty or do I have to accept it's excluded and is...

    Dash cam location?

    Hi guys - i've ordered a Garmin Dash Cam 55 and was wondering about fitment. It looks like it can be fitted pretty much anywhere in the windscreen, but i wondered if any of you had one fitted, where you located it and if it's pretty easy to tuck the cabling for the power underneath the trim?

    Help!!!! Coolant warning!

    Hi, may be a basic issue this but i'm in a rush and have never had this issue before. Just about to get home and the "Switch off engine and check coolant level" warning in my S3 came on. I've checked and it seems to be almost 1cm below the minimum level. I'm only in work tomorrow now (meetings...

    Experience of handing a car back at the end of a PCP?

    Hi, has anyone much experience of handing a car back at the end of their term? How "picky" are the dealerships? Normal wear and tear and mileage in line with the agreement are assumed, but for example do they look to bill you for every stone chip and minor scratch (which I would see as wear and...

    Order now or wait...?

    Hi all. My 4 year PCP on my S3 Sportback ends 1st September next year. I have been considering changing for a March 2019 plate (concerned at impact of Brexit) so figured i'd look later this month while my car is in for it's first MOT (as expect Sept/Oct order for March delivery?). Looking at...

    New S3 questions

    Hi all, back on here after some time away mostly because the last near 29k miles and 32 months in my monsoon grey S3 Sportback have been excellent. I am on a 4 year PCP, but considering placing an order for delivery in March/April 2019. I admit i'm concerned at the impact on pricing when Brexit...

    Headlamp washer cover

    Hi all, Not posted on here in a while, been very busy but been enjoying my S3 anyway over the first 9 months of ownership. Quick question - I noticed yesterday that my near side cover plate for the headlamp washer jet is missing. I can see no sign of any damage so I can only assume it may...

    MMI Navigation Pro addresses / iPhone integration

    Hi - after coming from my BMW which infuriated me by having direct access to my iPhone's perfectly structured contact list, yet when I went to navigate to an address in my contact list it would think it was in the Netherlands I was hopeful my Audi would be different... it kind of is, but... My...

    Fin

    No, not the end. I'm delighted with my car so far but one minor thing, the roof aerial or fin looks to be pointing off-centre. Anyone happen to know if this is easily adjusted?

    Quick DAB question...

    In the list of available channels I can select 'Radio 5 Live' or 'Radio 5 Live Sport Extra' - the latter looking almost like a submenu of 5 Live although I can select either and they are playing different content. If I go to save the channels into memory however it only lets me save 'Radio 5...

    Service plan - worth it? Cost?

    Seen some conflicting info. on this for S3 owners, but as i'm 3 weeks (and one day) away from picking up my S3 SB i'd like to know what others have been quoted for service plans, whether on an up front cost or preferably for a monthly fee? I'll be doing 10,000 miles pa and have a 4 year PCP...

    Finance rates

    Morning all - quick question to those who ordered their car on a longish lead time and on a PCP deal... Did Audi hold you to the interest rate on the deal at the time you signed up, or if the rates have lowered between ordering and collection did you benefit from a lower rate? Not naive enough...

    Tyre advice

    Morning all - opinions sought please... Firstly I must add i'm not one to take risks with safety. My front tyres look to be down to maybe just over 3mm (not down to the wear bar yet) and I would normally change them around this point, or at least I had originally intended to change them before...

    For the love of cars

    Not Audi related, but for any car nuts who haven't seen this gem of a show before, series 2 starts on C4 8pm 19th April. Saw the first series and thought it was fantastic, well worth checking out IMO.

    iPod Classic 160Gb 6th Gen - artwork

    Tried searching to no avail for a current thread that answers this. Does the current infotainment system (Tech pack high with connect) finally show album artwork from an iPod classic? If so is there a specific cable I need to make sure I have? Will be so frustrated if the latest version still...

    Eagle eyed spotters...?

    Since I ordered my S3 last week the configurator now shows the identical build as £40 more expensive, but the basic RRP hasn't changed. Is it a particular option that's got more expensive or has the OTR element increased by £40?

    Drive select

    Quick question as i know there are plenty of FAQ's and threads on this... Can you change elements of the pre-configured settings (i.e. can you change the suspension in dynamic mode and it keeps the change every time you select it until you change it again) or is it only the individual setting...

    Just been reminded how beautiful my 8P looked. And I thought the wait for my S3 was going to be easy!
