So I took it back. Said i wasn’t happy and it was working before. They said they’d get their diagnostic fella to take a look since they aren’t a vag specialist.
Turned out to have water corrosion on the unlocking latch causing the motors to sit and wait for a signal that never came.
So purely...
Mine has 220k on it currently and drives lovely. It’s just the bodywork and alloys that need love. Interior is damage free and freaky hides it’s age.
I just had a clutch and dmf done that wasn’t cheap but hey ho. I guess I’ll keep it now
Clutch position sensor fault. Car thinks you’ve still got the clutch down.
mine works 1 day and doesn’t the next. Got a new clutch master cylinder but haven’t got around to fitting it yet
Clutch position sensor is faulty as other have said. You’ll need a new master cylinder.
mines on the blink too. Sometimes it doesn’t auto disengage, although mines coded not to need a seat belt on too.
cruise control doesn’t work
hill hold assist says unavailable on the dash

Finally repaired my power boot!
It has been a bit intermittent to close on the first press of the button and when it finally stopped I bought a new button. Only this didn’t fix it. The only way to shut it was to pull it down a bit until the motors took over.
couldn’t find any info on the...

my power boot hasn’t been closing off the switch for a while and I knew there was corrosion on the switch from a previously leaky wiper so I popped a replacement switch on. Only that hasn’t changed a thing...
switch still lights up. Looks like someone has replaced it in the past as...

Both fronts were a few...
Yeah just wondered if there was a vcds tweak that can set them to minimum by default instead of maximum. Every time I turn them down it’s back on max the next time I drive the car.
i retro fitted footwell lights a few weeks ago and all works good but the background lighting settings always revert back to max when I turn it off and leave it a day. This means the footwell lights stay on while driving. If I turned them down to minimum they only light up when you open the door...
I used autoglym interior shampoo with good results on my half leather seats. I use their leather cleaner too as the S3 has full leather so keeping on top of keeping that clean too.
This was the water afterwards!
My S3 forgot how to do one-touch and down on the key. I went into measuring blocks on VCDS and saw the bits saying up, down, end point learnt. Did it for both doors and the key remote worked again. one-touch worked again afterwards. If that's the reprogramming method in VCDS I found it by...
