    Extra Security for New S3

    Hi guys Just to add my 2p worth. Get some very strong security that is separate from your keys i.e. a pop up post in the drive behind the car. My pride and joy was taken from my driveway last week. They smashed through my patio doors which a slab of concrete and got the keys and were off...

    Rear bike rack S3??

    Ah thanks that's good to know. Didn't realise they could fit without factory mounts. I will have a shop around. Guess it means leaving the rails on the car all the time otherwise fitting rails and rack and bike each time would become a pain lol Thank you

    Rear bike rack S3??

    Thanks. Can I fit roof mounted to my S3 if it doesn't have the silver roof rails? I.e. It was not built with any roof rail support?

    Rear bike rack S3??

    Hi peeps, Has anyone managed to get a bike rack on the rear of their S3 at all? Trying to find one that might fit. Car is a 3 door hatch S3 2013 model. Looking for a 2 or 3 bike carrier. Don't have roof rails so I'm guessing roof mounted is not a retro fit option? Cheers Ro

    Wheel swap/tyres and ALL the warnings!

    Exactly, this is what I understand to be the correct way to have tyres, but the tyres ive had fitted are very grippy in the wet so I wanted those on the front so I can slide the back out easier on corners in the wet; hence my "I have my reasons" in my post :-) Thanks guys for the replies and...

    Wheel swap/tyres and ALL the warnings!

    Hi guys, Just thought I would run this by to see if anyone has had this before. Yesterday, rear tyres were low so had new tyres fitted and also asked the fitter to swap the rear wheels with the front wheels so the new rubber on the front (I have my reasons). When I then came to drive the car...

    How good is the new B&O sound system!?

    I thought that about the 2/3rds volume. I regularly have it around 18 or needing some sounds then push it to 23 or 24 but I'm sure that's less than half volume? What does it go up to? 50? Any higher than 25 and I would be bleeding from my ears and I'm in late 40s so my ears a pretty poor lol...

    How good is the new B&O sound system!?

    Hi I have the B&O system in my S3 and it is very good. I'm no music enthusiast but I read a lot on here people very unhappy with their stock Audi sound system. The B&O system is very configurable and allows for loud playback without distortion, well not that I can notice but I'm not in my 20s...

    USB mmi dongle

    Sorry, it's Fat32 not basic FAT. Yes I may have to try a smaller USB pen drive and see if that works. The only SD cards I have are 2GB which is how I got the media onto the internal drive but had that issue of duplicating media with successive copies so I was trying a larger USB drive to copy...

    USB mmi dongle

    hi guys When I plug in a 32GB USB pen into the car via MMI cable it comes up as unrecognised and won't access it. It's formatted as FAT. I have tried wiping the pen/dongle and just putting 1 album of songs on it and still no joy. It once allowed it and I could play the songs and after a power...

    JB1 fitted and I'm blown away!

    Yes I was worried it might be bad on the insurance and on how many companies would actually cover it. On previous message I would never drive without any insurance or with invalid insurance. I just asked to see how hard it would be to get cover on such mods not that I would go under the...

    JB1 fitted and I'm blown away!

    Thank you. Does it stay under the insurance radar or do you declare these? Big hike if you do?

    JB1 fitted and I'm blown away!

    Excellent. Sounds a good result. I'm tempted by the box fit rather than full remap. Can I ask how much you paid? Thanks

    Stone Chips: ReSpray, Wrap or Full Wrap?

    Quick after wash update. Washed and dried the car as per usual. Didn't take it any easier than a normal wash. A bit of the polish has been washed out but I would say a good 70-80% has stayed in place and the bonnet still looks very good. I'm guessing every 3rd wash or maybe 4th wash will need...

    Stone Chips: ReSpray, Wrap or Full Wrap?

    I was sceptical if it would make any difference and when I started applying it I didn't think it had done anything. But I did a few coats and buffing and was taken aback just how different it is. You can hardly see any of the white speck on it now. It truly looks so much better.not washed it yet...

    Stone Chips: ReSpray, Wrap or Full Wrap?

    Yes I put a layer of wax on it to try and seal it in to prevent it coming out when washing. Will see how it goes I guess. Just happy it looks good for now

    Stone Chips: ReSpray, Wrap or Full Wrap?

    Just a quick update. I bought a bottle of turtle wax color Magic, I got the black rather than blue as my blue is very dark. Polished the hell out the bonnet and to my surprise it looks very much better. Ok, it's no respray and won't last but for 30 mins elbow grease I'm very pleased with the...

    A3/S3 bonnets same?

    Anyone know if the A3 8v bonnet is the same across the entire range? I.e. will for example an A3 TDI bonnet fit the S3? Just wondering if I can find a 8v bonnet in the right colour/condition if it will fit the S3 If anyone knows...? Thank you
