    2017 S3 LED headlights levelling ?

    An Audi S3 should have this stuff. Never understand why all this stuff is an option - HBA, folding mirrors etc. Is the S3 not the 2nd highest in the range before the RS3? You'd think it would have all the options as standard. You're not missing much with this anyway I never use mine really.

    2017 S3 LED headlights levelling ?

    Nice colour of car you have :D, are the headlights not self levelling when you turn the engine on? Mine go up and then they go back down to level themselves.

    Strange adjuster on back of washer stalk?

    My 2016 Sline has the red lights on the doors and heated seats but I think Audi started removing that stuff in 2017'ish :( Didn't know they were removing the red warning lights lol wtf how much does that save them :crying:

    Strange adjuster on back of washer stalk?

    Is that not just the rear part of the front wiper intermittent adjustment knob/switch/wheel? No doubt the rear part of the knob will move along with the front part.

    LED or Xenon headlights?

    The S3 does have the headlight washers but the same LED headlights, probably just a not-required gimmick. Audi would have been better equipping all S3's with something else like folding mirrors. :P

    LED or Xenon headlights?

    Have you actually seen them working? I have headlamp washer covers but no actual headlamp washers. I have the LED headlights too on an A3 sline 2016.

    Wastegate rattle

    Hello. Was it a new genuine turbo? I would go back to the garage or where you bought it tbh. It seems to only be an annoying noise but a brand new turbo 800km on it? I'd be wanting that swapped almost instantly. My turbo has been rattling for nearly 2 years. Same engine and I have been...

    Facelift Cambelt change, Audi prices & underwhelming Indie advice

    If you have any doubt about using an independent garage (hopefully a VAG/Audi specialist) then go directly to Audi as soon as possible and just pay the higher (and slightly eyewatering) price to settle your own mind. Not sure why a VAG/Audi specialist wouldn't have the required tools to change...

    Do you have a pic of the modified clip in situ and does it stop the rattle? :D

    A3 1.4 TFSI Wastegate actuator rattle

    Sorry what? What exactly did you pay £300 for? @JaegerStriker I did not buy it yet. I got my wheels refurbished and got MOT soon, not really bothered about the wastegate noise right now. The part number I have is 04E145220. An Audi branch can order it in and it's around £9. You can google that...

    A3 1.4 TFSI Wastegate actuator rattle

    I did not. It was not in stock then I never went back to it. I am getting my cambelt done tomorrow so hopefully he can look at this too.

    Audi A3 8v 1.4TFSI 150 odd engine sound

    Not completely convinced that this rattle is much to do with the COD feature in these engines. Mine (same engine at OP) will happily rattle at 20mph or 30 or 40 or 60 in 2nd or whatever gear for as long as I sit on the accelerator. It will even happily rattle in neutral sitting stationary if I...

    timing belt + water pump cost?

    Hello. I got a quote of £480. Audi A3 1.4 TFSI CoD 2016 Facelift. This includes: Fitting new timing belt Fitting new tensioner Fitting new roller It's £350 without the tensioner & roller. They didn't mention the water pump. Should I change that at the same time? and am I getting ripped off...

    A3 1.4 TFSI Wastegate actuator rattle

    I am actually surprised that there are not more topics about this. Surely there are thousands of cars having this noise but the majority of thread concern the previous model of A3 pre facelift.

    A3 1.4 TFSI Wastegate actuator rattle

    I know it's more annoying than I want to admit. Anywhere I looked it was new turbo time. I did find this: https://www.oemvwshop.com/04e145220-spring-clip-for-turbocharger-note-p235823/#gallery Unsure if this will help us tbh I have not looked to see if this will fit. it says 8v in this video...
