Well I guess we can all have a bad day, but I've given enough chances to rectify it, and sadly lost some faith. Shame as he's a nice chap and from the community who seemingly does a lot more complex car programming. Anyway, now I need to find someone with a VCDS local (North east), unless...

Hi all, Had my S3 serviced recently, and the chap couldn't reset the service indicator (using VCDS). Can anyone advise or help in the north east area? It's an 09 S3, if that should make any difference. Cheers.

Hahaha. I was tempted to try it for real yesterday when I got home....but chickened out! When I first read cardboard box I thought you meant my winter scraper! Hahaha! :O

Having got my new S3, I needed to have some coding done. I looked on here at the map and found Jonny from JMB Retrofits was nearest. I went to his unit yesterday and what a friendly fellow he is! Totally took time out to show me lots of little bits and bobs, and we even tried activating more...

Few shots of my new addition. I really could do with some cooler locations to take pics. The single day of recent sunshine was an ideal time, however there was always people at the spots I wanted to use. Obviously they were basking in the glorious weather too. Anyway:

(Ahem...:yes:) Well didn't take too long to find the one I wanted. I picked it up around a month ago. Spotted it just after I posted and went to buy it. Been really busy so no chance to post about it yet. Excuse the crappy phone pic. Nice spec on it, sportback with pan roof, FBMFSW, black...

1. Welcome ch11zzy 2. Thanks - off to compare! :D

Ahhhh - that's what I've been thinking! How rubbish as the quote was really good! (approx £290). I called audi to check the car over as began to think it could be a lookalikey! Fortunately not - phew!

Hello, Quick question. I'm using the online quote sites like go compare and money supermarket. I'm putting in the reg plates for S3 sportbacks but the results come up A3 2.0tfsi 5 door 1998 onwards. This happened with 2 of the cars. So I thought that's strange, and instead put in the option of...

Thanks, and I'm hearing what you're saying. Though i'm after a specific set of options (colour, spec etc), so they come up rare. The garage deal with very high end cars and from my research seem to have a good profile, but that doesn't give the full reasurrance when it comes down to black and...

But I'm not. I'll be buying from a car dealer, but not main dealer as I'm after a particular set of options (being picky and all that). :O I was goign to ask them to either include an extra year's warranty in the price or drop the price and then I *could* buy the extra warranty, or bung the...

Worth thinking about. Alternatively if something does go wrong - get a 0% credit card, then pay it off regularly. I just seem to always air on the side of caution as I'm blessed with luck of the bad variety! :O

Sounds a bit more reasonable. I guess there was an option to pay monthly?

Sorted: A3 = 4238mm S3 Sportback = 4302mm Difference in length = 64mm. Therefore the S3 sportback *should* fit in my garage and I will be able to open the boot. This is good news as I actually cut the back of my house out to give extra car room in the garage (whilst shortening the kitchen in...

Hahah - that helped by making me chuckle. My garage roof leaks too - going to get a new one when I re roof the whole house this summer. That'll stop those pesky leaks! Funny how we're more concerned about buying cars than fixing roofs, and squeezing around them so they're warm n dry! haha I...

I don't blame you taking the cover on an RS6! :) I've looked at that site, I think I stumbled upon it the other night. Anyway, typically I need to call during working hours for a pin. Yeah it is a gamble like you say, though in some respects your mate almost benefited there as the repair was...

Apologies. To clarify: I know the size of the S3 sportback. They were supposed to loan me a sportback, but an error meant they loaned me an A3. The A3 fitted fine with space to spare at the front of my garage (whilst the boot is able to open). I have 300mm clearance. Therefore if the difference...

Well I took that advice as it seemed a good idea. So phoned them up, they said yes = great! got there today (20miles away), and there was a 'mix up'. Sooooooo they could let me test drive a 3 door A3 - not sportback. Obviously a bit miffed, but thought I'd got there so might as well! :) Going...

Hi trups - no, I was calling audi customer services, but jeez louise! I knew it would be pricey but over 1k! I imagine there are alternative warranty companies? Car I'm looking at still has warranty, though I know my luck and thought for the investment of 20k extra warranty could be worth it?

Hi all, I tried calling audi today but just missed the closing time for the customer services. Anyone know the cost of extending audi warranty on an S3 Sportback? They list prices for A3's on audi site, but not sure if that's buying the car new (probably). It would be a second hand car dealer...
