    Face lift grill ?

    Looks nice. Was that straight forward swap? Some says cutting foam, any idea what that’s about?

    S3 brakes

    Well think it’s time to replace disc and pads all round. Just been on a weekend run in the highlands with a few car guys and I think I need a new setup. They held up ok but started to fade and now it feels like a disc is warped. Discs are factory 6 years old so not too bothered having to...

    Cannot rev past 4k rpm - S3 2020

    Just a rev limiter when you are not moving. Most Audi’s have it.

    Facelift 2017 S3 8v - Coolant question

    Mine was just the seal, everything else was fine. It’s one of those things that just get worse. Started out odd drip then a few more till I couldn’t clean it off my drive. When the dealer saw it it took a few diagnosis for them to figure out where it was coming from cause it was that slow.

    Facelift 2017 S3 8v - Coolant question

    I’ve had that gearbox seal replaced under warranty. Get it sorted before it stains your drive. Might as well do it a gearbox service as all the oil needs drained.

    Facelift 2017 S3 8v - Coolant question

    my original factory one lasted about 4 years under 30k. This one is almost 2 years and about 12k. Due to Covid and working from home I don’t drive as much now. Maybe sitting around doing nothing doesn’t help it.

    Facelift 2017 S3 8v - Coolant question

    Not to put a downer on things. Mine was done about 2 years ago and I’m noticing coolant going down ever so slowly recently. Still in warranty so might have to go back for a second one.

    Audi Service Plan worth it, just for the extra warranty? 6 year old car

    New s3 looks good from some of the articles and looks like it will have all the stuff from the golf r that was missing from launch.

    Audi Service Plan worth it, just for the extra warranty? 6 year old car

    At the moment with zero commute and working from home the s3 went from my daily to getting used a few times a weeks to do errands. Mileage is around 40k so not much point in getting rid of it for now. With crazy car prices and crazy APR not much out there I fancy. Was offered a crappy trade in...

    Audi Service Plan worth it, just for the extra warranty? 6 year old car

    Might work out well for me. Plan ends 31st July but but not 6 years old till a week later.

    Audi Service Plan worth it, just for the extra warranty? 6 year old car

    I’ve been looking at this. Max is 6 years old but it’s unclear if that’s at the start of the activation or at the end of the 2 years term. Mine will be exactly 6 years old when my all in warranty runs out.

    Engine Warning

    Check the battery. I had all sorts of weird errors on dash when my battery was in its way out even though it started the car. These electronics are quite sensitive to voltage fluctuations

    Semi indicator rear light mod - just discovered my new S3 has them...

    If you have vcds or obd11 you can code them out easily. I don’t believe they are road legal either.

    Semi indicator rear light mod - just discovered my new S3 has them...

    most likely pace car mod done on vcds. Should be able to undo it with coding.

    Roof wrap on FL A3 saloon - shark fin removal ?

    Not had any paint work done in years so not sure who’s good nowadays. Alaris in buffies brae used to be good in Dunfermline area. If it’s just a diffuser any mechanic can surely fit that.

    Roof wrap on FL A3 saloon - shark fin removal ?

    Headliner is a bit easier to remove on hatch and sportback as you just open the boot and start working around it. On the saloon the window is in the way which increases the risk of creasing the head liner. I would also consider replacing the rubber seals on the aerial while you are there as...
