Hi, After carrying what was probably too heavy a load a while back (don't ask) my car hasn't been handling right since. There has been too much body roll on bumpy roads and it hasn't been tight going around corners. So I took it into Fontains to get it checked out and just had a phone call...

Chaps, have a look at this: http://www.motorauthority.com/cars/audi/the-400hp-audi-s3/ Me want. :) :rockwoot:

http://www.autocar.co.uk/News_Article.asp?NA_ID=223616 Volkswagen has just unveiled what it claims is the internal combustion engine of the future. Called the Combined Combustion System (or CCS for short), it mixes the most favourable characteristics of both petrol and diesel technology to...

Just a couple of observations on remaps that I want to run past you guys to make sure my memory isn't playing tricks on me... I had the Revo trial recently and I was very impressed with the low down torque and throttle response. It made the car very driveable around town and in normal...

can you get any these days?

Will be in Houx Annex. Looking forward to seeing Audi bring home a diesel clean sweep.

If I get a trial version of a remap on my car and let it time out, can it cause problems if I was to try a different one at a later date? Dave

Got my second AVS service coming up, but I know some other work needs doing. If I get it done at a specialist like Fountain will it make a hell of a lot of difference to resale value? Dave

A US Audi dealer walked away from a crash that completely destroyed his TT on Friday. The car was crushed between an artic and an approaching bus as the truck went out of control and swerved across all three lanes on the motorway. The whole thing was recorded from onboard the bus. Warning -...

Well my christmas has just been ruined by the car packing up. I'm 90% sure it's the clutch but can't be totally certain. Was pulling out of a junction when all of a sudden the engine is reving up and I'm making very little progress. I was able to drop the revs down to 2000 but by this time the...

Hi, Has anyone else on here used VAGcheck? Just wanted to say that for £30 to put eliminate a couple of recent worries and check things out before the MOT was well worth the money and they come highly recommended. Nice to know you are in the hands of fellow enthusiasts and not the local...

Hi all, My S3 is on the variable service program and I have always put Castrol SLX in it. However, I went to Halfords last night and they've stopped selling it - instead we have SLX LongTec. A quick read of the back of the bottle said that it is suitable for VW 502.00 and 503.01, so I bought...

I've just been having a look for the spark plugs on my S3 (to do a compression test) and I can't find them! There are 4 suspicious looking covers on top of the block, but I can't see any HT leads coming away from them. Are they down the back under the crossflow or worse still under the...

Apologies if this has already been posted, but http://www.autocar.co.uk/news_article.asp?na_id=207816 Dave

I just had to run home from work for the second time this month due to my S3's alarm going off at home (damn company parking policy!). Despite canceling the alarm with the unlock button on the key fob, it just starts again a few minutes later. Last time it was evening, the alarm had been on...

Hi, Wondering if any of you have had this experience... Last week, one week after my car's warranty expired, one of my headlights packed up. They are the standard HID xenons fitted to the S3. I took it down to the local dealers (Guildford Audi) and they told me that the igniter circuit has...
