Today,for the first time I've lent my 8L S3 to the mrs because we sold her car yesterday and she needs mine for a few days. So,tonight I walk outside,the car is all locked-up but the radio is all lit-up red,there's no writing on the display or anything and I've put the key in the ign,tried to...

Can someone point me in the direction of what the most likely cause is because I don't really have a lot of time to be messing about changing stuff and waiting for parts to arrive. I'm driving through Europe to Budapest in a week and a half and a few days ago my speedo started going crazy,just...

Alright folks,had the car on the lift today to change the steering rack(for the second time,I'll come to that later!) and once I got the job done and put the car back on its feet,the steel rod from the levelling sensor had snapped off and was underneath the car as I drove off. So I'm guessing I...

Does anyone know anything about the steering angle sensor on an S3 8L? I replaced the steering rack on mine last week as mine was worn out and knocking,with a 'new' recon'd unit. So,I got it fitted,and when the job was done my steering wheel was upside down,so I undid it and centred the wheel...

hi, Last couple of mths I've noticed a slight knocking noise on the L/H side of my suspension steering,after a bit of investigation,I can see the ram inside my rack is 'knocking' back and forth and causing the noise. I need to get this sorted ASAP,but I thought I'd post it up to ask a few Q's...

hi people, I've got a slight misfire on my s3 when it's warmed-up and sitting at idle so I suspect it's the coil packs(or one of them!),I've no idea if/when they were last changed so I want to chuck a set in it. I just wondered what brand everyone is recommending and at what price and where to...

Ok people,knew it wouldn't be long before something else went wrong.....so yesterday I'm driving through the village and I look down and my the needle on my speedo is fluctuating up and down like crazy,and then just dies. And every now and then it will briefly kick back into life and then start...

So,it's been a couple of weeks since any problems,(been on holiday most of this time...!) and then a couple of nights ago I noticed my reverse lights stopped working,they definately worked the beginning of this week. It's not the bulbs,or the fuse. There's no power to them in the bulb holders in...

Ok people,after having to buy a new clutch/flywheel/master cyl last week and taking a day and a half off work to fit it (which in total stands me at about £700 in parts and lost wages!) I'm driving to work this morning which is about 9miles,and my temp gauge is just sitting as follows,bear in...

So,after the issues I've been having recently with a slightly slipping clutch and looking into replacing it,I just go the car to go out,put my foot on the clutch pedal and it drops to the floor and doesn't return! It just gets better!

I recall seeing a post a little while back about these,someone was asking if they were available. I had my mate at the dealership check for me,now,each mat has its own part number and should be available individually,he also confirmed this as he got some individual ones for a work colleague who...

Can anyone recommend a company to remap an S3 in the north west area? I'm traveling over end of this month and ideally want it done as soon as I'm off the ferry. Im looking for a proper job to be done,rolling road tests before and after etc.Been on the AMD site and they have a partner in...

tonight,when leaving work,I heard a beeping noise from inside the boot. Sounded like it came from the area around the passenger rear light area. I've owned the car for 2mths now and never heard it before. It sounded almost like the noise parking sensors would make,it only beeped 4x times when I...

alright people,I'm having a bit of a nightmare with a guy on eBay at the moment breaking an s3,alarm bells should have rung really as he's only got 2 feedback in 5yrs but I guess he just uses eBay for advertising. Anyway he's got an s3 on there for breaking,I approached him on some parts as...

ok folks,so I was having a look around today and my pipe seems to be a bit squidgy in areas and signs of oil breathing out in places/splits/cable ties etc. I'm looking to get a new one ASAP. So my question is.... What's the difference between the V2.2 and the V3? Apart from the obvious price and...

hey everyone,been driving mk1/mk2 golfs as everydayers since 1998 (and regrettably a couple of mk3 16v's!)so recently I needed an upgrade,always liked these as a mate of mine bought one new for his mother as a birthday present back in 2001(he has a lot more disposable money than me!) and he let...

Ok people,got in the car this morning to find part of the dial cluster has refused to show! The window below the washer fluid warning light,can anyone tell me what's happened,if it's a common thing or not before I spend hours trying to find out something about it! Thanks.

hi everyone,been on the hunt for an S3 for a short while now as an everydayer. I've been to worthersee for the past 10 days and yesterday on my arrival back to the UK I found one on the off-chance so bought it and drove it home! Just one question, found the towing eye today in the boot down by...
