Hi, is there a downloadable version of the owners manual or virtual cockpit? I managed to sell the old s3 8p with the wrong manuals. New owner ignoring me. Audi want to charge me for the pleasure of replacing them. Cheers

I have a 2010 S3 in Ibis White, the front sill below the radiator is all black and currently stone chipped to hell. I was looking for a temporary fix, any recommendations on what paint i can use? I think i will end up getting it wrapped, but for now wanted to tidy it up in the interim. Thanks

Audi told me 68 reg onwards are PPF included.

I finally found the part number.. so if anyone needs it: Offside for RHD: 8P0 941 030 BF Nearside for RHD: 8P0 941 029 BF

you know what... i didnt check that! I will see if its visible.

exactly! or translated - "we dont want to give you the numbers because then you can go elsewhere, but whilst you may still pay over the odds for a replacement part, we prefer you to pay an additional premium on top of this with us"

Hi Audi wont give me the OEM part numbers for the two front headlights which i need to change as the LEDS have failed, but struggling to find them online and be sure which are for the RHD model, as the web is awash with suppliers from Germany that sell on a .co.uk website but they are all for...

This is quite worrying. I have just started looking around at changing cars and the s4/5 was on my list to try. Hmm... certainly will watch out for this in a test drive.

You are right, ive had 2 bmws and 2 audis.... had more "major" issues with Audi, but then i prefer their overall build quality. I will leave the decision down to pure driving pleasure!

Good man, cheers for the info.

Thanks. Ahh, they have twin scroll turbos which sit in the V don't they? Yes i did read about the tuning box (the one you have) and have considered that, typically steered away from those things and stick to ECU maps but might be a good temporary solution, sounds like a lot more power is...

I have seen a few articles saying that the 3.0 V6 unit are the same albeit the later model has switched to twin turbo v the previous having the charger. Is this correct? I had the b8 version and with a revo stage 1 remap was pretty awesome all round. Loved the car. I ended up selling it due to...

So, i just had it confirmed by garage (went to independent - my father in law!), and he confirms it is the head gasket, but it has CRACKED and he says they should never crack? potential warranty claim? Any opinions on this?

they also checked compression and all cylinders were fine. did a block test on the expansion tank and also clear... weird.

Just heard from garage... they had it on the ramps too and they cant see any coolant loss from any pipes etc, bone dry underneath. they took the sparks out again and reckon they can see water in the cylinder 1. He says its an 8 hour labour charge...and dont know what state head is in either...
