    Warranty - Wheel Change

    I hit a pothole in my S3 at the beginning of the year just before I sold it. It buckled the wheel badly but managed to get it fixed... had a whirling noise when driving etc prior to fix. They said is was "at the limit" of being fixed/straightened....whatever that means. After the fix, I still...

    Facelift Google Maps - taking ages to load/doesn't fully start

    I don't know if it's a system wide problem but my 2017 S5 Coupe had the same issue last night. Same this morning until I went in to connected services and read some news stuff and then went back to google maps and was working. Prior to that it would sit at the blue startup of google maps and...

    Air Con condenser - design fault??

    Well after having my Aircon "service" ie refilled in June car is 2 years old at that point, I used it a few times over the summer and it seemed "ok". Tired it again a few weekends ago and no cold air at all. I booked it in under warranty as they serviced it and also carried out a health check...

    2014 - S3 Brake replacement

    I have had a advisory from the dealer whilst in for a service 2 weeks ago that my Brakes are 75% worn. It was suggested that I would have about 2-3000 Miles left. Yesterday the warning light came on the dash! So I imagine the warning comes on a bit early. They quoted me £482 for front disks and...

    S3 Trade-in value

    Trade in Prices do seem to be all over the show at the moment for S3! I have put too many miles on mine to be honest for my PCP and when asking a dealer how much against an R3 (3 months old) he wanted to give me the "we buy any car value"!!! In the CAP guide it was worth a grand more! Also the...

    Michelin Pilot Super Sports

    Well I went to Costco over the weekend and replaced at 4 with PS4's. I have about 2.5mm on the rears and 1.9 on the fronts so decided to get all done. £404 all in and from driving 60 miles so far seem MUCH more pointy than PS3's and the original conti 5's. Lots of grip but would have due to...

    Air con bust

    It seems that there are lots of these threads popping up now... it also seems that the A3 is due an Aircon service at 2 years... my car was about a month off 2 years and the aircon wouldn't get cold... cost £70 quid to re-gas even though I have a service pack.... In the 17 years I have had...

    Michelin Pilot Super Sports

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone has fitted them to their 2014 S3 8V with 18" Wheels? When I had a puncture last year I could only get hold of PS3 as the PSS were on back order but rumours on some forums suggest that they were being discontinued. I have phoned around and if I put the 225/40 R18...
