    Anyone else thinking of buying one of these?

    Looking at buying an edition one myself, had a sit in one the other day and the interior seems really nice. @Sandra any chance of a subforum for both types? Notice this says Sportback. Cheers.

    best place to sell an S3?

    Hi folks, the time has come for me to sell my beloved s3 due to needing the cash for a house move. It's fully loaded white 3 door from 2014 with only 24k miles, so low millage in comparison to similar on autotrader, hence i'm not really sure on how much it's worth. I can't really be doing...

    rear wheel bearing replacement cost

    Hi all, just been quoted £450 quid to replace a rear wheel bearing in my S3. I do trust the garage but this seems like quite a lot of money. Any thoughts?

    droning noise on s3

    Hi folks, just wondering if anyone else has had this, or could offer advice. the car is booked in with audi next month but figure worth asking here anyway. I've picked up on a droning noise which seems most apparent at higher speeds. It seems to be coming from the rear of the car. The noise...

    rattling pano roof

    Hi all, I have an annoying rattle coming from my pano roof. The noise only manifests itself when driving on certain (ruff) road services. I've noticed that there is a very small cut in the rubber seal at the back of the pano roof. I bought the car used approved from a different audi dealer...

    MMI Map update latest version?

    Hi all, i've (finally) managed to log into my audi to download the latest nav maps. However i'm not sure which is the latest version. In the screen shot below it would seem there are two listed, one 2017, and one 2017/2018 which next to it says "you can buy up to date maps from your Audi...

    Anyone up for a wheel swap?

    Hi all, My S3 came with s3 18" 10 spoke titanium alloys. I think these where a more expensive option then the standard S3 alloys, however I think I like the "standard" S3 alloys more. Anyone potentially up for a swap? These aren't my actua set but here's what they look like for reference...

    car feels 'different' after hitting a pot hole

    Hi all, I'm not sure if this is all just in my head but after i hit a pot hole on a roundabout (can't of been doing more then 15mph) my car seems to feel slightly different, in that the ride feels a bit more bouncy as if there is some lateral movement at certain speeds? It also seems to very...

    Correct type pressures for S3 8v?

    Howdy folks. I seem to be missing the tyre pressure sticker in my drivers door (checked petrol cap also). Annoyingly the manual says to refer to the sticker.... Anyone know what the correct pressures are? Seems to be lots of conflicting advice online. Cheers!

    How often do you get to drive your car "hard"?

    Was lucky enough to find myself on empty well sighted roads today so give the S3 a good thrashing, which i've barely had the opportunity to do since I bought it. All within the speed limit of course. Anyway Loved the drive and felt the car came alive in comparison to the usual pootling about I...

    S3 logo on interior bits...

    Apologies for this pointless observation but I've noticed facelift s3 cars seem to have an "s" logo on the super sports seats rather than "s3" which is on my seats + steering wheel. Is this right? If so seems like a bit of a cost saving move by Audi in that they can use these for both s3 and...

    myaudi website

    Hii all, Having recently bought a used S3 I wanted to create an account on the Audi website to see what it's about. When I try to create an account I'm asked for my car's reg and my postcode, at which point it barfs and tells me my details don't match their records? I emailed Audi support but...

    PFL mmi S3 User Manual

    Hi all, I picked up my (new to me) S3 yesterday and i'm well chuffed with it. It came with a wallet full of "stuff" but no actual user manual. Anyone know where can download a UK copy of the manual? Also same for the MMI system? Cheers!

    MMI Nav Plus "Tour" Mode

    Hi all. I've seen a few pictures of the nav showing "tour" in the corner of the screen. Does this allow for setting up multiple waypoints before a final destination? Once i get my new wheels I'm quite keen to go on a few road trips across Europe this year, so wondering if i can set a route up...

    NVH in the A3/S3 compaired to rivals

    Had a couple of test drives in S3's now (before putting a deposit down on one yesterday, yay, go me :) ) and one of the things i've been impressed by his how quiet the car is when on the move. In comparison I hired a new BMW 3 series recently which i found really quite noisy at motorway...

    what do you guys reckon on this used S3?

    Hi all, been on the lookout for a used s3 with tech pack and adaptive cruise for a while now. seen the car below on for £ 25,980. It's just been reduced by 1k according to the site, seems like a reasonable deal to me but thought it worth asking you knowledgeable people before talking to the...

    Nearly new vs new vs old-ish

    Hi All, First time poster here. I'm currently looking at buying an S3. I will be using finance, probably PCP (low monthlies are important as my partner isn't keen to spend over 400 a month). Was also looking at leasing but kind of like the idea of having the opportunity to buy at the end. So...
