Thanks for the replies fellas, so how can I find out which are the more powerful models, also do I need to worry about mileage?

So I’ve decided to sell my S3 and get something more suitable for daily duties, I commute 50 miles a day and mainly sit in 40mph A road traffic so the S3 is totally wasted. I thinking something like a diesel A3 with dsg would be a good choice but looking at auto trader it seems the 2.0tdi only...

Yes mate, I would be interested, how much are you looking for it? Rog.

Thanks mate, I’ll have a look out for for.

Good morning all, I have a 07 S3 with stock RNS-E, I dont have an aux input, just a CD multi player in the glovebox and a telephone cradle in the centre arm rest, I'm more that happy with the way my phone (iPhone XS) connects to the system for phone calls but I've love to able to play my...

Good afternoon all, I have a 07 S3, I was wondering if there a way the telephone volume on RNS-E can be turned up. I’ve turned it up as much as possible on the volume knob but it’s not loud enough, is there a way of making it louder? thanks. Rog

Morning all, so I was going to do an oil change this morning and whilst I was under the car remove the sump and change the oil pick up, however I've read online that the S3 needs 5.3 ltrs and I've only got 5, other sources say 5 ltrs is enough. So what's the correct answer? Rog.

Think this might be different to yours mate, its not like a torx, more like a security wheel nut if the makes sense. Rog.

Holy tread revival, I just got a VW roof rack for my sons Polo, it uses the same arrangement as the Audi roof racks and and I need a HS coded wrench, did anyone find a good source for replacements or even an alternative? Rog.

Is it a good idea to replace this or can you simply remove it, clean it up and replace it? Rog.

Thanks for that, very much appreciated, opie is local to me so I'll give them a bell.

Interesting read but I have a question, my S3 (BHZ) is on 82k, it has a slight tapping sound once the engine is hot and at idle, seem to go once the revs pick up, I'm thinking due to the mileage maybe a slightly thinker oil is required and am considering a 5w40 instead of the current 5w30...

UPDATE, just had a email conversation with Paul from AKS, postage was selected as Scottish Highlands, he edited my account and sorted it all out, postage now £4.50...result, two thumbs good for AKS.

Thanks for that, I was just about to order it but the postage is £24, thats seems to be way too much, any other suggestion where I can get a cam follower kit. Rog.

Good evening all, So my 80k s3 (BHZ) makes a tapping noise when warmed up, I'm assuming its probably the fuel pump cam follower and the fact that the car is on 80k suggests its probably still the OE one. Been looking on the bay of E and is seems Febi is a popular brand, are they any good or...
