audi s3

Hi everyone, First day on the forum and first day with my new Audi S3 8v PFL and I must say loving it. It's great having the s-tronic but it will take me some getting used to it having come from a manual. My previous car was a stage 3 golf GTi that consumed lots of my money but I still loved...

Hi all Have been experiencing misfires under part throttle at midrange (3.5-4.5k) RPM. Curious to see if anyone else had the same issue & what they did to rectify it. In brief, this only occurs at part throttle in the midrange, the car does not misfire at full throttle. You can hear the boost...

Hi currently have a stage 3 in for custom mapping & was told the rear Miltek Catback (Resonated) was restrictive. Advised to replace for BCS full system. Popular opinion is that BCS systems are the best performance-wise followed by the Milltek etc, which I agree however did not see the need for...

Hi Guys, I've been looking at some new alloys on Demon Tweeks who do some pretty reasonable finance options and I was wondering what size I'd need to go for? I need the width (options: 7", 7.5", 8" or 9"), diameter (I'll be going for 18"), PCD (Think this is 5x112?) and offset (35, 40 or 45)...

Hi guys, As some of you may already know I recently purchased an Audi S3 8P. The car I wanted was very specific and I managed to get everything I wanted minus the roof bars. With a quick search I've managed to find non OEM ones on Ebay that simply stick on with what I assume is some very...

Hi, Just wanted to give a shout-out to Gloucestershire Police. Pulled me yesterday due to discrepancies with my docs, valid. We're nice guys who just wanted to make sure my car wasn't stolen :) When you experience bad things it's cool to know there are good people out there doing a good job...

Hi all.. May be a stupid question, but I’m not ‘engine’ minded. I have a MY19 S3, had it from new. Car as just done over the 10k mark and tonight whilst driving, it told me to stop the engine and check the coolant. I did and it’s on minimum, why is this? Or should this be happening to a car...

Hi 59 plate S3, would like a clear clarification if an LPFP is needed, the aim is for 420-430 BHP. The suggested LPFP would be the TTRS/RS3 one since this is best suited for the S3 8P. If an LPFP is needed please clarify the limit of the stock LPFP & if the TTRS/RS3 can work with stock...

Hi all Looking to replace injectors for a new set was curious to whether anyone has installed the new revision RS4 injectors. Are they a direct fit for the AUDI S3 8P facelift apart from the plug/connector. Existing RS4 injectors are maxing out at 360bhp to a setup that's supposed to be on...

Hi all, I've got the problem with my S3 that there is a "whine" at higher RPM and in gear changes, most pronounced between 4th and 5th. After a lengthy battle with Audi they are saying the car needs a new DSG box at an estimated cost of £7-8k? They will not give me the exact gearbox fault as...

Hey Guys, I was randomly browsing the internet and thought I'd check if there had been any recalls on my Audi S3 (2018) 8V Saloon S-Tronic, to my surprise it was announced on Friday that it needs to be recalled (see image) Anyone know why the car has been recalled? Has your Audi Been...

Hi everybody! I have an issue with my Audi S3, 8P 2008 year's model that keeps draining the battery overnight so that the car doesn't start without a jump start. I've narrowed it down to fuse 19 in the engine bay compartment that is the issue. When the fuse is in and I check the drainage it's...
