Hello all - long time reader; first time post.
I'm the proud owner of a S3 - 6 months in and still loving the car. However yesterday I noticed on the off side just behind the front wheel arch a bit of plastic cover hanging off. So I got down and had a fiddle and managed to seem to click it back into place.
Leaving work later had a look on the drivers side and lo and behold... same sort of plastic cover hanging down !
Any one else had this ? its a pain in the chalfonts getting the car to the audi dealer I brought from and I'm kind of ****** off that VAG seem unable to produce covers that stay on the car !
 
You could always super glue it back down? You were saying it's a pain getting the car to the dealer you bought it from? I guess it's quite far away, any Audi dealer can do work on your car, doesn't have to be the one you bought it from.

Cheers MA3RC - thats good info that I can use any dealer - I have one close to work that I'll book in with.
My wife always defaults to the super glue route when things break - however I'm always the one who has to remove her "fixes" and do it properly later when it invariably breaks again !

Been through any deepish water recently? There's a lot around and quite a few people drive through standing water a little too quickly, often resulting in plastics being ripped from clips etc
 
That's a good point - although I'm pretty careful not to hammer through water after a painful incident in my youth. Cars now checked in with local dealer as I've got some other little niggles I want them to look at..
 
Its probably one of those mods audi will release a TPI for to fix when in if they come of easily, so I would ask the dealer if they have a TPI for this issue, could as said just be road debri or water has caught them, easily resolved :)
