    Google mapping fail

    Has anyone else’s google maps and live traffic not been working today? I am sure it was working over the weekend, although I had the car serviced towards the end of last week and can’t be certain I’ve seen it working since. All of the settings show they should be working, but they arent. TIA

    S3 lights

    hi all I have just returned to an S3, after leaving one for a stupid purchase of an AMG A35 and then quickly swapping that for an RSQ3. I have just picked up a 15 month old S3 Vorsprung. I think that the previous owner has had some coding done to the car, as it ‘chirps’ on lock/unlock, which I...

    Q3 myAudi App map destinations

    This applies to my RSQ3 but presumably the process is the same for all Q3 variants hence the post where I thought I’d get most views. Does anyone use the myAudi app for navigation, as in sending destinations to the car from the phone app. That’s going to be very useful for me as I go to some...

    RSQ3 10 Digit Vehicle Code

    A couple of weeks ago I picked up a 12 month old RSQ3, which I purchased from a specialist dealer rather than Audi. Unfortunately I wasn’t provided with the plastic key tag. I need the code off the key tag to fully set up the My Audi app. Does anyone know where I can obtain this? Audi want £64...

    RSQ3 RSQ3 and Q3 - any common issues/faults

    Hi all As per a recent post I am likely to be getting an RSQ3, but was wondering whether there are any common issues/faults with the RSQ3/Q3. The AMG that I have now has had a few problems so ideally I’d be looking for trouble free motoring with my next car - or at least as trouble free as...

    RSQ3 Thinking about getting an RSQ3

    Hi all, first post on this forum for a while and first in this group. I was hoping to get peoples opinion/advice. I had an 8V S3 until about 18 months ago when I swapped it for an AMG A35. I’ve had a couple of issues with the Merc so was thinking about a swap back to Audi, and to an RSQ3. Has...

    Insurance Advice Needed

    Hi all, if anyone has any knowledge of insurance I could do with some advice. At weekend during storm Erik my neighbours 8’x6’ metal garden store blew over the fence from their garden into our drive, during which it whacked my front wing which is now goosed. Neighbour initially said they’d pay...

    Keep S3 or switch to RS3?

    Bit of a dilemma. I’ve had the S3 for about 2.5 years now and it’s about 4.5 years old. Previously it was my dads but he upgraded to an RS3 so I bought the S3 off him. Today he has bought a new RS3 and I’m pondering buying his old one. I’ve asked what the dealer would give for mine as a PX...

    Engine management light

    A bit of a whinge more than anything. I finished work for Christmas on 22nd December and haven't used the S3 until Thursday this week. Went to get some lunch and he engine management light was on. It was on on my return journey to work and then back home, so turning off the ignition hasn't...

    Possible haldex woes - again

    To all those who have had haldex issues which have been repaired/sorted, have any of you experienced any further issues since? I had problems 12 months ago and eventually Audi decided that there was an issue with my haldex and replaced it, the work was carried out mid-December 2016. Coming...

    Blackvue DR650-S

    Do any of you guys have one of these? I think I'm going to get one but was wondering about set-up. I have a local supplier who does hardwire installs which I would go for but was wasn't sure of the best way to power it. Internet sites have a battery pack and also an adaptor to cut power if...

    S3 wheelspin

    Does anyone else suffer from wheelspin in damp/wet conditions? A couple of times recently I've noticed it. Most recently today nailing it up a slip road in the damp-wet the esp light was going mad going up through the gears (s-tronic). Another time today as a test from about 5mph hard...

    LED Interior lighting - how does yours work?

    Evening all My S3 has the LED interior lighting and the light in the passenger footwell has never worked in the nearly 3 years that the car has been in the family. I've had the car in at Audi for a service today and while it was there I told them to sort the non-working light before the...

    Auto rear wiper

    Now I am probably being anal here, but I find that the auto rear wiper function is most annoying. It wouldn't be as bad if the wiper was only active when the car is put in reverse when the front wipers are switched on, so at least there would be some degree of control - by turning the front...

    LED Footwell Light Replacement

    Hi all First post as I have just joined the forum after recently purchasing an S3 from my old fella. First Audi and so far am enjoying the experience. My dad bought the car when it was a 3 month old ex-demonstrator. It is a 63 plate and I think as part of the spec has an extended lighting...
