My car does this too. Has been for about 6 months or so from memory. It had its annual service the other day and I forgot to mention it to my mechanic. Oh well! I don't drive it very much it these days, it turned 14 earlier this week and only has 142,000kms on it. Still going strong though. :)

A belated bump for you to say thanks for this write up. I guess 11 years before losing a bulb is not bad going. Need to replace my driver's side globe.

Google brought me to this thread, hoping for a part number on a RHD driver's side armrest please. (You never know your luck!)

Bump! Still got my S3, it's about to do 100,oookm, which I'm not looking forward to. I'll be covering 1400kms or so this weekend, which for those of you still living in the 1950s is just under 900 miles.

On dirt roads and/or wet roads I've had the **** of my S3 out several times. True, it's not as tail happy as a RWD car and you need a fair degree of safety margin (on wet roads, dirt not so much) but to say it can't be done just means you haven't tried hard enough.

Yep, mine's going through an especially noisy period too. Another trick you can try (which I need to do as well) is find a quiet stretch of road and do a handful of hard braking cycles from 60mph or so. In theory getting some decent heat into the brakes is supposed to help. If I've been for a...

The brakes on my S3 have been squeaky since day 1. But inconsistently, they just go through random cycles for some reason. One day squeaky, next day not so bad, next day nothing. It's damn annoying though and they squeak more often than not.

After a Mk1, haha. :yum:

Awesome! So long as she starts first go that's the only creature comfort you need, haha. I love my Mk1, but it needs to go unfortunately, for a number of reasons.

The Mk2 will be fun! Is it yours?

I'm biased, of course, but Ultraleggeras look awesome on S3s.

I think the 8V RS3 will be out a lot sooner than the 8P was. The days of RS models coming at the end of the product life cycle are over, I think. :racer:

My RS6 wheel was plug'n'play, but I already had the right airbag as I had a FBMFSW from factory. If you don't have a circular shaped airbag then you may need to add that to your costs as well. It's a very good mod though, I love this wheel. It's much thicker than the standard FBMFSW, which is...

My fingers are crossed for you mate.

Am loving the Milltek and with the Stage 2+ tune the car has a lot more pep. It revs out much more freely now and is heaps more linear, pulling pretty strongly beyond redline. Just need to sort out an intake now after the other one I had lined up looks like falling through.
