To cut a long story short, I've gone over my agreed mileage on my PCP by around 20,000 miles. I'm not sure whether I wish to stay with Audi or switch to something else yet. Naturally, I've had the letter from Audi stating I'm in the final few months of my contract and this charge will be...

Fans, So it's decision time on the S3. This October the PCP ends and I've done nearly 50,000 miles on it. It's currently out of warranty. I'm led to believe I'm currently in balanced equity territory after speaking to Audi/VW. I'm debating two things currently: 1) Whether to renew the...

Hello Forum Dwellers, The S3 is making a bizarre noise as of late. A whirry sort of whiny noise that amplifies as I go faster/put my foot down on the throttle. Putting the S-Tronic into Neutral, the noise goes away. Has anyone experienced this before and knows what it is? I've heard multiple...

So had a friendly female passenger open my door onto a high pavement (damn the S3 being so low) and took some minor paint off the bottom of the door. Gone right through to the metal. Been thinking of buying a touch up kit from Audi, anyone had good experiences with them?

Pad light has come on. 37K. Audi advised discs need changing too. Is it still the case of having to change discs at same time as new pads? What age have people changed their discs at?

So as Audi have announced that they're no longer going to be making A3/S3's in 3 door variants, do people think the residuals of the PFL/FL 3 Door S3 8V hatches will now hold more value/make gains? I personally think the Hatch is the best looking S3 in the range, but I am slightly bias. On the...

Anyone noticed a marked increase in their S3 car insurance this year than the last? I'm getting quotes of £200-400 more than last year on average. I'm guessing the IPT hike and the amount of S3's stolen at the moment has caused this?

So, had my car detailed the other day, so the S3 badge was visible again after the filthy weather/grit/dust/dirt etc had been hiding it for the past 6 months. Now, normally after the S3 badge is visible again, I notice a difference in the distance the cars behind give me. However, there's...

Hello All, It's been a while. I've been having some peculiar issues on the S3 lately. Dimming instrument panel at sporadic times from full brightness. This has happened in the day, and at night. Wondered if anyone has experienced the same? The dimmer flick switch to the right of my Headlight...

Guys, A couple on you have said recently that the old GY Eagle F1 Asy 2's are better than the new 3's. Can you confirm if that's the case and why? I've heard the 2's offer better rim protection. Looking to get a new set on my S3, and finally rid myself of the horrible conti's from the...

Anyone seen this yet? Cracking bit of footage. Thoroughly enjoyed, thanks for the giggles if it was anyone on the forum. Peugeot looked like it was into a bit of crash 4 cash and got karma delivered by the A4.

1000 Char Limit? Is that it? What is this crap? Just spent 5 minutes having to edit a decent 3,000 char review down to 1,000. Sort this crap out.

So on the weekend I placed my order after much deliberation on a S3 HB S-Tronic Spec: Glacier White Comfort Pack SSS Black Styling Pack B&O ILP Hold Assist Mono.pur Folding door mirrors Front/back parking sensors Reversing Camera Privacy glass Sat Nav One thing been bugging me that I found...

Hello all, Looking for some clarification on something as I'm being told conflicting information from Audi and my local Audi specialist. I have a 8P2 57' Plate 1.8TFSI A3 and would like to know if it has a cambelt or a timing chain. I've seen threads from others stating that they've had the...

Hi, Lots of discussions regarding bose setups on this forum but not much related to the non-bose (presumably ****ty Blaupunkt?). I have a front speaker thats nearly blown and am looking at replacing the front 6.5". Is this a direct replacement, can I just plug and play or is there more work...

Hello Everyone, Thought I'd introduce myself this evening as I've been browsing this forum a while now and seems like there's a decent community here. My names Julian and from the South West area. Bought myself an A3 8P2 1.8TFSI on low mileage late last year and been enjoying it since! Want...
