My MY15 S3 saloon (55k miles) also has a bad rear diff, I’m currently looking at options for replacement.
I’ve owned since new and always had it serviced at Audi but I’ll be getting an Indy for this job once I find a replacement diff. Anyone know what VRS Northampton charge for supply & fit of a...
BTW if you set it up correctly the car will rev freely to about 4000rpm and sit there at 4000ish, even with the pedal to the floor, if you feel the car pull at all it’s not in launch mode. It should feel like you’re revving it in neutral.
What usually catches people out is not pushing the brake...
Fixed now, it was the front left level sensor, good as new now.
FYI, with the dead level sensor the Mag-Ride and the various ADS steering modes didn’t work, it seemed to default to Comfort Mode for the steering and the suspension was very bouncy. The various engines modes in ADS all worked fine...
Just had two warnings pop up on the dash when I started the car, anybody got ideas what the cause could be? Haven’t modded anything or hit potholes, they just came on yesterday morning.
The headlights still do their up/down sweep when starting the car.
Definitely, the extra power is very noticeable when you push it but it doesn’t spoil the character of the car.
I had the same dilemma and wondered how much difference there would be but I’m very glad I did it and I definitely wouldn’t go back to stock even if I was offered a full refund.

Car’s been great, no issues at all, runs as well as standard but with a nice bump in power.
I always let it fully warm up before pushing it since it’s possibly more fragile now. I drive it steadily most of the time so I don’t expect any issues.
I never did get round to doing the TCU software...

S3 Saloon here, I did the APR Stage 1 map a few months ago and wish I did it sooner. The car is now much more fun and the launch control is nuts.
It behaves so well when cruising through town at slow speeds you’d hardly know it’s mapped but now has the acceleration I expected when I bought the...
I've just had my thermostat and seals replaced on my 2014 S3 while it was in for a service and MOT, they noticed a bit of residue below the thermostat housing and recommended replacement so I've had it done before it gets worse.
The dealer also gave me a bottle of coolant in case it burps more...
