    45 TFSI Quattro saloon mpg

    Hi all, Traded in my 8V S3 today as it’s too small for two teenage kids. Picked up my Nav blue 252bhp Sline saloon. Love the refinement and the space. What kind of mpg are you guys getting. I realise it needs to loosen up but I was at least hoping for mid to late 30’s.

    How many miles on a set of rubber?

    Hi guys, I'm driving a 3.0tdi coupe and am wondering what kinda mileage you are getting from a set of front tyres. I'm at 9k and they already look pretty worn.

    A5 3.0tdi Quattro S-tronic first review

    Hi all, After a 15month spell in an S3 I decided to return to an A5 coupe for reasons of practicality and the fact in my opinion it's one of the best looking cars on the road. I managed to source a nearly new Daytona Grey model one week before a 2500mile trip around France. I can honestly say...

    Audi active exhaust?

    Anyone know anything about it or have it fitted? I'm assuming it's just a sound actuator? Like the 8V S3.

    Back to the A5 family

    After a mixed dabble in an S3 it's back to the A5 coupe family for me. 3.0tdi stronic Daytona grey coupe with quite a few toys. Looking forward to a 2000k mile trip around France if I can get through the tunnel. Good luck in your S3's guys

    What are my chances? And who to contact.

    As some of you may know I have owned a S3 sportback for about 18 months and have had numerous mechanical issues. This has finally reached a point where I have no confidence in the vehicle and am getting shot of it. Granted the vehicle was purchased ex demo from a Midlands Audi franchise and all...

    S3 broken yet again!!

    Following numerous issues, most recently a new high pressure fuel pump, my S3 has decided it prefers to run in limp mode. Sadly awaiting the arrival of the AA at home to see if they can trace the problem. No way on earth I'm keeping this once the warranty is up as the warranty parts and labour...

    8P forum a wealth of information

    I have to say the knowledge pool on the 8P forum is so much more detailed than next door on the 8V, and yes I know the car is older etc etc. great to read about real car issues rather than what colour to buy or what air freshener smells the best!!

    Driving home tonight, after the car had warmed up I had a strong odour of fuel through th AC. Checked under the bonnet, I found evidence of a small oil leak around the LHS on the head and the same strong petrol odour. Anyone else experienced this with their S3. Off to dealers first thing in the...

    S3 to Cayman?

    After 12 months of fun in the S3 I'm considering trading in for a Cayman GTS. Has anybody had any cayman experience. I'd obviously loose the cabin space but want to experience that Porche handling just once.

    Replacement tyres due!!

    Hi all, Just wondered what kind of mileage you are getting out of your s3's tyres. Mine seem to have worn pretty evenly across all four at 24k miles. I'm guessing most of you are <20k miles at the moment.

    Washer Jets On My S3

    Evening guys. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that the windscreen washer jets are prone to moving? I find I have to readjust them every month or so. I guess it's down to the stiffer suspension or my drive it like you stole it philosophy! :audibash:

    Great value?

    Jumped in the S3 this morning to find the oil change light on at 15K miles. I rang the dealer for a quote. That will be £290 +VAT sir for a first service which constitutes an oil change and pollen filter. Is the pollen filter gold plated or am I missing something? I realise running an S car...

    Evening guys. Two days after collecting my car I noticed a intermittent issue with the EPC light coming on and slightly rough running when cold. Took it to the dealers who diagnosed a knock sensor issue and replaced it. And no before you ask I haven't been ragging the a*** off it when cold...
