agree, 1 x audi, 8 yrs, 120K never let me down. Up to a point its not the make of car its how it is looked after that counts.

latest update is that the join between the propshaft and rear diff/haldex type thing is 'falling apart' so i'll let you guys know if it helps with the symptoms...

yep, that's probably because no one has figured out what the problem is... mine is still doing it 1 year on and 3 different garages have'nt figured it out either.... v annoying,.

dela, love the car, love the wheels - good look. I would colour the pipes matt black (a textured finish if possible) - that would look great. Thats my 2p's worth

agree, i just check the underneath of mine about once a year - years on and still looks mint... jacking points are the only areas that have been scuffed but even the bear metal there doesn't seem to rust - didnt know they were galvanized.

hmmm im quite confused about when they operate... Last night the mirrors came on initially when i started the car but when i checked them again (after 40mins of driving) they were off... Do they only come on for the first few minutes of driving ?

Hello all, I know lots of us are starting to clock up impressive milage but what i want to know is how long has your clutch lasted ? Clearly this depends on a lot of factors - specific type of car, remap, driving style, number of launches etc but im on 120K and still going strong and want...

mine did the same... i just rubbed it really hard until all the paint came off and now its all silver which looks fine and was considerably cheaper.

I think he said it was on a private road... wise. :busted_cop:

my heaters are on all the time... adds to great fuel economy ! I dont think there is anyway of turning them off is there ? seem to be on in the summer too...

there is a thread on this very subject a few weeks ago - have a look on the search function. I think the average furthest traveled was around the 150K mark with no major troubles reported.

just to drag an old post from the grave... has anyone got the rev software ? im still looking at this (just seems slicker than the liquid S3) and i love my iphone... does anyone know if the rev app will show oil temp ? Ta

"The S3 is Mika Hakkinen. Cool. Detached. Handsome. And much, much faster than you'd think" :iagree:

:idea: have to keep that idea.

with regards to courtesy car - would you be better off buying a cheepy for £500 with some tax on it - could use it as a trade in when you buy your next car (plus the cash if its written off) ?

just to add, look at the rain gutters on the roof, the outer edge can bubble and corrode. Common problem with a/s3's. Can be repaired under warranty but its a hassle. high milage cars are not necessarily bad - depends on type of miles / care of car etc. Main problem with my S3 has been...

ive heard of people getting up to 200K with no problems at all.

I have found the cause of a most annoying squeak and as i am so chuffed that i am that little bit closer to interior driving heaven i thought i would share it with you all in case you are having the same problem. The little clear plastic spacer fell out from under my door card on the...

If you lower an S3 by no more than 20mm, do you need adjustable thingymajigs on the rear - cant quite remember their name (tie bars?)? Have been searching for the answer for a while but cant quite see a definitive answer. Obviously i would'nt HAVE to, but if i dont what is the tyre wear...

the body shop i have taken mine to is an approved audi / VW one (think its actually run by the same group as the main dealer). They say they have seen millions of roof rails going on all sorts of VAG cars - lupo's, golfs, a3's etc. The roof is aluminum but the side stripes (which form part...
