    No New S3 !!??!!

    lets not judge the 3.2 on its interior... & I too drove a manual 3.2 tt and thought it was nothing special. Lets me say though - I drove a 3.2 Dsg A3 and bought it on the spot. My S3 was well sorted - but the new A3 3.2 is any match for an S3. I've been progressively throwing it down the...

    S3 Front Suspension/ steering

    Hi, Can anyone post an exploded parts diagram of the above? I replaced the discs and pads on my motor yesterday and noticed that a rubber seal about the size of a bagel near the engine bay has become worn and failed. It appears to be part of the steering - but not sure what its called. I can...

    Other than the coil pack fiasco, what recalls have there been on the S3 MY2002 onwards? I only ask as my cars currently in the shop and they are refusing to give me it back until all recall work has been completed... Something to do with being a german car and first time its gone on the Audi UK...

    how do i drive the s3!!!

    All good advice, but a little more detail. The engine comes in to play around the 3000rpm mark. But bear in mind that the turbo likes to spool up, so keep it ticking at 3000 before flooring it. This is also useful to know when changing gears, so that you don't come completely off the...

    Nissan 350Z vs A3/S3

    yeah having though long and hard about a zed, this is the major thing stopping me.. Its bad enough on a normal good car, but seems like nissan have a problem. Maybe they need to start using feather brushes like other good quality car manufacturers? With every new production model I assume its...
