Does the 8Y S3 have a timing (cam) belt or a chain? Cheers.

Silly question time but how do you apply the handbrake? From what I understand, if you have hold assist turned ON, then you don't have to manually apply the handbrake, it will do it automatically when turning the ignition off. However, if you don't have hold assist on, then you have to...

Was checking the tyres on my new S3 today (Bridgestones) and noticed that the tread depth is only about 6mm. My previous new car had Pirellis and they were only 6mm when new too. I always thought new tyres started off with about 8mm? Is that not the case these days? Are we being fleeced by...

Hi, if the Tech Pack Pro is selected, will the car have front parking sensors (as well as rear ones)? Or, do you have to also have the Driver Assistance Pack in order to get the front sensors? The Tech Pack Pro has the 360 camera, is that parking sensors or something completely different? I...

Hi. I've been away from Audi ownership for the past year but now considering coming back. Looking to get a new S3 Sportback. Are there any common issues with the new S3 that I should know about? Cheers.

Just curious how long the original Audi brake pads usually last for on average. My 2018 RS3 was serviced today and apparently the front pads are still only about 50% worn, these are the originals, so four years old. Car has done 25k miles. I by no means drive the car "hard" and am quite...

I assume this is the cover for the tow hook? Would there be anything that could leak in there? Reason being, the last couple of weeks when I have washed my car, there has been a sticky residue around this area, no idea what it is or where it's coming from, just weird that it's been there twice...

Hi folks. I have the staggered tyre set up, 255/30 up front and 235/35 at rear. What are the correct pressures for these (with a light load as only ever me in the car)? The tyre sticker on my car is very confusing, which set of pressures should I be using, the top set or middle set?

Hi, does anyone know how big the washer fluid reservoir is? I topped mine up today but I hardly ever use my washers anyway, so thought it wouldn't need much but I ended up putting nearly a whole one litre bottle in and it still didn't come to the top! It's so annoying that you can't even see...

Hi folks. I use an SD card to play albums, however, after one album finishes, it just replays the same album, it does not move onto the next album. Is there a way to stop it repeating the same album? I've looked through all of the MMI menus but cannot find a setting. On my previous S3 (2015)...

Does anyone know if you can get an online version of the servicing schedule that would include the RS3? With my previous S3, it came with a service booklet which listed all of the scheduling for routine services and additional service items. I appreciate that Audi no longer issue these...

Unfortunately, I appear to have the squeaky brakes syndrome on my car. I'm going to book it in for the dealer to take a look, so, realistically, what are they going to say or do? Is it a case of having to put up with it as it's a "characteristic of these RS brakes" or is there an actual fix...

Hi, has anyone else had an issue with the volume setting of the parking sensors? I set mine to HIGH but the setting does not stay saved, it keeps reverting back to MEDIUM. Cheers.

Hi, I'm considering getting an RS3 to replace my S3. Just wondering how much more Audi charges for the servicing? My guess is that the actual work involved is very little different to the S3 servicing, however, knowing Audi, I presume they charge more for the services just because it has an RS...

Hi, I've recently started to notice that the gear changes on my two year old S3 are not as smooth and are sometimes quite "jerky". This is in normal auto drive mode. Any ideas what this could be the start of?

Hi folks. I've had a really irritating noise on my S3 for several months now, appears to come from the driver's door, sort of behind my right ear area. It's a "knocking/squeaking" noise and always occurs when driving over rough road surfaces, when braking or sharp cornering. Recently, sometimes...

My steering wheel has recently started to creak/squeak, when turning it and going over bumpy roads. Anyone else had this? Rather irritating!

If I use my iPhone as a sat nav device, can I get the audio directions to play through the cars speakers, either via bluetooth or a cable? My car does not have an Aux socket but does have the AMI socket in the centre armrest box.

Hi folks, Is the MMI touchpad available on every model or only if you have the "tech' pack? I've never managed to get mine to work using it as a touchpad but I don't have the tech pack.
