    Hi all As the title suggests I am looking for minimum brake disc thickness figures. Done a couple of searches but not found what i'm after. I expect its something like 2mm less from new. It would also be interesting to know how many miles/years people have got out of their standard sets...

    Front Left Turn Signal Error - Any ideas please!

    This is really getting my goat now - keep getting an intermittent warning on the DIS about the front left turn signal. The warning doesnt stay on long though, when I shift the indicator stalk to indicate left, I get the rapid flashing for a few secs as if something IS actually blown then it...

    Concert 'CD ERROR' in 2007 S3

    As the title suggests I have encountered an error! My standard double din concert system has always worked fine for the last year or so I have had the car but recently whilst playing 'CD's (which is very rare as I have the crappy ipod dock) the CD freezes and won't eject. 'CD Error' and...

    Random audible warning

    This morning I got the single audible warning noise that you would get for low fuel/screenwash on start up but nothing on the DIS. Repeated the start up again and heard the chime a second time but not a 3rd. When I got to work I started it again after parking up and nothing again. As I said...

    Hub painting - any tips on the do's and dont's ?

    I have noticed that the rear hubs are showing slight superficial surface corrosion what with all the bad weather etc. During the summer months my Autoglym trade wheel acid brought them up as good as new and for a brief period they were returned to the original silver colour. I am looking to...

    S3 Heated Bucket Seats - Temperature Issues

    I bought my 2007 S3 in June and have only recently been using the heated seats in the cold weather. I only realised there might be a problem when I noticed the passenger seat was more effective than the drivers seat on a mid range level 3 heat. I'm beginning to wonder whether i'm getting any...

    S3 Power Steering

    Hi guys - was hoping someone might be able to shed some light on this one for me... Within the last week I have jumped into the car and started the engine as normal only to be greeted with an audible warning noise, the same one as the 'Please refuel warning'. Everything works as normal and...
