    Audi beam vs cheap alternatives

    @Ormesome How much is "on offer"? Tempted to get some for the rear doors (fronts were factory fit).

    What MPG is everyone getting ? A3/S3

    Managed 46MPG from Manchester to Edinburgh, at least according to the OBC, I imagine that calculated using actual fuel put back into the tank, the figure would drop at least a few %. Lifetime average for the last 12 months is 31.0 (again, according to the OBC).

    Dealer appears to have lost my car?!

    For an MOT and fluid change if I didn't have the car back on the day it went in, I'd be going nuts. Three days in I'd have lost my **** and someone would be getting the sack at that dealership. I've got previous in getting people removed from my local dealership too, so they wouldn't be...

    Another S3 broken into

    I don't believe it makes much of a difference in all honesty. Both key types transmit/receive on similar frequencies, the only major difference being that no handshake between car/key will happen with advanced key until you are in range of the sensors in the vehicle (unless you press a button...

    Another S3 broken into

    Common misconception. All of the news articles that have done the rounds in recent years always hark on about "keyless", however what they refer to (as evidenced by the fact that they always list cars starting from the turn of the century) is keyless entry (and by keyless, they mean a remote...

    sports exhaust for 2.0 tfsi quattro

    It’s not an opinion, it’s a fact. The car isn’t his to mod.

    Facelift Folding mirrors or High beam assist ???

    HBA for me, as retrofitting folding mirrors is easier.

    Facelift Juddering front wiper

    Well my AeroTwins are almost (but not quite) as useless as the OEM wiper blades. So I've now got two sets of wipers that have done less than 3,000 miles (and not all of that in the rain). The Bosch ones will have less than 1,000 miles on them! It's become that annoying now, I resort to taking...

    This may be a matter of my own opinion....

    This is the biggest problem IMO. Manufacturers seem insistent that customers all want gash black or really dark wheels. Bleurgh! :puke2:

    Added security??

    CCTV and GAP insurance. Done.

    When selling your car?

    If it came with the car, it goes with the car IMO. That said, I wish I’d kept the puncture kit/compressor from my A4. I did keep the bits I bought separately, such as the baggage handles for the boot (same part between A4 and S3 Saloon, so saved me some money), and I kept the rubber floor mats.

    Strange Runnings.....

    I had similar on my MK1 Seat Leon Cupra R after running it mapped for a few years. Ended up needing a new dogbone mount.

    Sat nav lost location

    Sounds like it’s not getting a GPS signal, my bet would be on faulty/failing wiring to the antenna. I can’t remember off the top of my head where, but I’m certain the engineering/green menu showed GPS signal information (or at least did on my B8 A4). Might give you a clue assuming you have no...

    Ghost immobiliser

    If a criminal is set on stealing your car enough to break in and forcefully take your keys, do you think they’ll have any qualms in threatening you/your family/your dog until you give the code away? If they want it, I’d rather they just have easy access to the keys, and write it off (or make it...

    Facelift Best S3 Saloon Spec. Under £40k ?

    I'd definitely leave out the HHA as the retrofit is simple, it's also not really worth it, as the standard hill hold (couple of seconds worth of brake-hold with S-Tronic) is more than enough. I'd aim to get VC in there. Mine was under £40k, but I am aware that the prices have changed.

    Facelift S3 Exhaust soot......

    Since doing the exhaust flap VCDS mod, all 4 of mine are evenly sooted. Before doing the mod, as expected, 2 and 3 were black as the night and 1, 4 were pretty clean most of the time.
