    Wet driver's footwell

    I've had a quick Google and couldn't find much on the 8Vs getting wet footwells apart from a few with sunroofs. Got in the car today and thought it smelt damp, turns out there is a damp patch in the driver's footwell. I've checked the drainage holes in the windscreen scuttle and they look fine...

    Bulb error message after changing

    I've just finished changing the xenon bulbs on my 2007 s3 and the car is now complaining about one of the headlight bulbs being out. It's also stopped leveling the lights when turning them on, I assume this is because it believes there is an error with the bulb. Both bulbs are working and on...

    Steering wheel removal

    Quick query - I need to remove my wheel on my 2007 S3, I know the steps to remove but was wondering at what point does the battery need disconnecting. Is it prior to starting the work? is it after the airbag screws have been removed but prior to unplugging? I'd rather not have it blow up in my...

    S3 clutch query

    So finally the clutch has really started to slip quite noticeably. I've had a few quotes for a standard LUK clutch, slave and DMF which is coming in at about £1100. I queried with the specialist I think I'll go with about potentially putting an uprated Sachs in just in case I remap it eventually...

    Got the S3 on a rolling road today

    Wasn't expecting much as the only mod I've got is a Milltek catback. With that in mind I was quite pleased. The result: 276.4hp 293.6lb-ft Compared to standard (Parkers): 261bhp 258lb-ft I'm happy with that!

    Clean S3 pics and a quadcopter video.

    Took some pics of the S3 after a good clean and a full machine polish a month or so ago. Also my friend has recently bought a quadcopter so we tried making a video with that and a few go pros. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWNFYl93T9s&feature=youtu.be and also an exhaust video...

    New guy with an S3!

    Hey! Thought I'd put some pictures up of my S3 which I bought last week, only mod so far is the Milltek as the insurance don't seem to like too many mods at 21! Having said that there isn't really much else I want to do at the moment, apart from drive it!
