    Previous owner of '19 FL RS3 - TR**GAG, YH**DAP

    Hi all I moved across from an S3 saloon to an A35 AMG saloon a year or so ago and am now looking at moving over to a FL RS3. I've found one for sale online that is decent value, with only 1 previous owner since new. I've done a few checks on the car and it seems to have had 3 registrations...

    Leaving the S3 scene...

    thank you! I toyed with the idea of a c43 but at over £50k and poor residuals, the a35 made more sense. thanks for the recommendation on top cars- I’ve not come across them before so will drop them a line.

    Leaving the S3 scene...

    Hi Guys I’m not an avid poster, but have been an avid viewer of the site since I got my S3 saloon in 2016. I’ve learnt loads from the forum and the help/guidance everyone offers here is second to none. However, I’ve just put a deposit down on the A35 saloon (pic attached) so will be selling...

    What make are you going to buy next?

    Been seriously looking into a Porsche Cayman, and researching the 718 and predecessor 981. Whilst a 911 is the dream, the running costs put me off. The 981's are holding value much better than the 718, seemingly down to it being the last n/a flat 6 engine, with the 718 and its 2 litre not...

    Attempted theft of my S3

    Smashing the window is absolutely crazy, especially with all the deterrents obviously on show. The sentences these cretins get are a joke- that is why they have no concerns about doing whatever it takes to get your car. They truly will stop at nothing.

    Attempted theft of my S3

    The Golf R owner was actually visiting someone on the road where the attempted car jacking happened, so she isn't from that area I believe. Not sure she will be back any time soon... Stay vigilant everyone.

    Attempted theft of my S3

    Thanks all. Not a nice experience but glad they didn't succeed in taking my pride and joy. I'm going to look into security posts too. As for the Golf R, a very lucky escape for the owner and the kids.

    Attempted theft of my S3

    So last night I got home from work around 6.10pm. At around 6.15pm, I received an alert on my phone from my CCTV system that there was motion on my driveway. I opened the video clip it sent me and there is 4 masked guys, hoods etc walking across my driveway. The security light comes on and they...

    Facelift Extended Warranty - All Component or Named Component?

    My Audi warranty is up this month too, however when I bought the car (it was 6 months old) I got the dealer (Listers Audi) to throw in the extra warranty to cover me up to a total of 3 years. I now know that whilst this, "Listers extended guarantee warranty" isn't the same as Audi warranty, it...

    Facelift Finally picked up S3, now has to be returned and exhaust sounds meh!

    Res delete is the best 'pound for pound' mod you can do on an S3. Mine is a FL 66 plate and it sounds superb. Exhaust warranty no doubt voided, but not exactly a part that often goes wrong so happy to take the risk.

    Best person to complain to Audi about a used car purchase?

    I went straight to the MD at the time when I had issues. He called within half an hour and set up a file for me which he monitored personally Everything was sorted very quickly as you could imagine.

    S3 19k (ish) Inspection

    I've just called Audi again to get to the bottom of this. Given my oil was changed around 11 months ago and i've only done around 6k miles since then, that would not need to be done as part of the service. All the inspection service would entail is a thorough walk round the car, checking levels...

    S3 19k (ish) Inspection

    I've got the same thing, albeit mine says in x days rather than x miles. A few other threads on this forum suggest the inspection service isn't just a walk around the car and a tick box exercise: https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/difference-between-service-inspection.267322/ I believe...

    Inspection service??

    About to have my 2 year inspection service on my FL S3 - been quoted £110 for inspection service or £230 if it needs oil change. That’s with family discount. Good deal? Surely the inspection service is more than just a tick box exercise?
