    Squeaking Noise

    Cheers, I’ll have a look at the tyres and brakes first. I changed the top mount bearings with oem new ones when I got the new eibach lowering spring put in a few years ago hope I don’t need to replace them again in the space of 13000 miles.

    Squeaking Noise

    So my S3 has just hit the 5 year mark with only 35k on the clock and has developed a ever so slight squeaking noise coming from the front when the steering wheel is turned slightly to the left and is audible mainly between 20-40mph any higher than that and it’s drowned out by the road noise...

    Looking at getting a S3 but.....

    Going to be honest but paying that much for a facelift S3 without VC, and a manual box (personal preference), and the colour of the alloys would put me off regardless. It’s seems to be a low mileage but it’s only done 3 miles between the picture on the dash (28/10/20) and the mot test date which...

    New front brakes scraping sound

    Who fit the brakes pads ? They look like they’ve been installed the wrong way round by looking at how the pad is in contact with the disc. They would be working backward which is why they would be making a noise.

    Facelift Servicing & Additional Work Schedule

    The details aren’t in the manual, but are/should be provided in a separate booklet which has info such as your pr codes and the stamp for the registered dealership.

    Facelift Servicing & Additional Work Schedule

    If you read one of the fine manuals which came with the car (audi service schedule - for vehicles with digital service history) it explains all the service requirements + additional work.

    Coolant Question

    So my s3 is approaching 5 years old with 34k miles and the low coolant light only came on once (within a year of me owning it). Given the history of how many water pumps can fail or loss of coolant on these engines would you say it would be wise to change the coolant along with the silica bag /...
