thank you george for your reply and diagram. still not been able to see where this fits without tearing the car apart or ending up in traction. further research indicates the part is not critical so i will reluctantly place in the glove box and hope my brake pedal doesnt fall off. thanks again

hello all have finally tracked down an annoying rattle in my recently acquired s3 8v and now am at a loss as to what this part is and its function. it was behind the plastic panel by the drivers right knee,the one that covers the diagnostic port. have managed to undo the 2 bolts on the bottom...

thanks for your replies....i'll stop fretting now.

hello all, my new (to me) 2016 s3 8v has a post shutdown whirring and beeping noise. sound like something running for aprox 20 seconds,can anyone tell me what this is and is it normal. still learning about this car so expect more questions soon. thanks in advance

i had the same problem.....found it behind the cubby hole panel at the left hand rear of your boot....there is a screw fixing at the top which isnt obvious...undo and pull out the panel and the sticker is stuck inside...hope this helps.

i had a similar issue on my s3 8p....changed the pcv valve which sorted it. i didnt have any backfiring issues but the reving at idle sounds the same...someone on this site suggested a pcv prob so i took a punt and changed it,easy job and not expensive.

thank you....ordered and on the way as we speak. cheers

Thanks for that Abi...will have a look tonight.

hello all, my original 3 button key shell is getting really tatty so i purchased a replacement and cannot get the pcb out of my old casing as it seems to have special fastenings. i cannot find a small enough tool to unscrew these (tiny, like watch screws) and am having difficulty even telling...

much appreciated....will have another look later.

anybody???

one of my rear seat passengers has badly chipped the hard shell on the back of my wingbacks,it looks too big and deep to do any kind of touchup so i think it has to be totally resprayed. can anyone tell me how to remove the shell from the seat...i cant see anything obvious but i will bet i am...
