    How much is this part worth?

    Hi, I have an ECS Tuning resonator delete pipe that I want to sell on eBay, but I'm not sure what to ask for it. It doesn't come with the clamp so it's just the bare pipe. Awesome are selling it new for £134 with the clamp. I did around 4k miles with it on, so I'm thinking maybe between £50 to...

    This fell of my S3

    S3 2014 Sportback here Went really slowly over a speed bump, but obviously not slowly enough, and a part fell off - any idea if having it off until I get it seen to will be detrimental? Came off just just behind and to the right of the offside front wheel. Thanks!

    Misfire but no fault codes

    Evening, I'm using the torque app and although no error codes are being stored, it appears when I run the tests that I have misfires on all cylinders, particularly cylinder 3 which has logged a count of 5 in the last run of spirited driving. Car is a 2014 S3 Sportback with c. 25k miles and has...

    2 policies, 1 claim

    Hi, I have 2 policies and my wife, a named driver on my Honda policy, had an accident last month and claimed losing the NCB on that policy. If I now get quotes on my Audi S3 (which my wife has and won’t be named) do I have to declare that claim for my Audi and my Honda when it comes to...

    Normal DV behaviour?

    Had the S3 flashed with a Superchips file 2 months back that ended up firing my DV off like a pressure cooker on crack at low boost, to then eventually send it into limp mode. Last month had the APR stage 1 map with TCU I stalled and have been very impressed until I’ve noticed at WOT in the...

    Images not displaying

    Hi, When browsing through some of the forums I'm getting an error when trying to view pictures, something to do with photo bucket not being active - is this a service you used but no longer support? Bit of a shame as pictures tell 1000 words!. Thanks

    Anyone with APRs TCU remap? S mode

    Afternoon! I'm an Audi S3 (2014 Sportback) owner and I recently had the APR stage 1 H/O and H/T file installed along with the TCU tune. I definitely notice the increase in power and torque, but I have an issue with S mode. The problem seems to arise when I’ve reached say 2nd gear, stop...

    Post Bluefin Remap

    So very happy with my Bluefin purchase for my 2014 S3 - much more responsive and the power delivery feels much smoother without much lag. Now I know this map is more conservative compared to day Revo, however it does appear now I’m having issues with traction, so will be investing in a tyre...

    276 bhp S3?

    Was just having a look at Superchips Bluefin and in their drop down it gives 3 different 8V S3's to select from... one starting at 276 bhp, the next 296 bhp and the last 306 bhp... where did the 276 bhp one come from? I thought the newest generation started at 296 bhp and this has gotten me...

    RS3 Sound

    Ok, so there's an RS3 8V that lives near me and you can hear it coming from about a 1/4 mile away... I sometimes work from home and always run to the window (yes I'm a child really) when I hear it coming, it sounds mental. I'm not sure if the guy who drives it is always in Dynamic mode, or if...

    VXR8 Spotted in Edinburgh

    Thought I'd treat myself to a McDonalds milkshake while the Mrs goes shopping, expecting to be greeted by the usual McDonalds car lot in their Corsa's, Golf GTI only to be greeted by an almighty 6L V8; I have never heard anything like it... the guy decided to floor it off the roundabout and it...

    New front discs at 19k?

    As ever really enjoyed my visit to Edinburgh Audi... S3 went in for MOT and had an advisory for new brake pads plus discs... discs at 19k miles? Is that right? I mean I do enjoy the occasional spirited drive but don't use the brakes unnecessarily. Quoted £55o for new front discs and pads, I may...

    Think mechanic bust exhaust valves

    So I'm returning my Audi S3 (14 plate) to stock so it can go into Audi to have various updates before warranty expires. Took it to a local mechanic to have the induction kit put back to stock, and thought I'd also get the AWE Tuning Switchpath Receiver I have installed removed from the exhaust...

Car had been sitting overnight and not switched on. Pulled out the dipstick, and from what I could...

    New to Audi - are they taking me for a ride?

    Amazing customer service

    Just had really good customer service from Glasgow and Edinburgh Audi. Wrote and email last night to ask about getting my S3 looked at which has an incredibly annoying rattle in the passenger seat. Car still has 2 months warranty left so thought I'd better do it now. Got an email response...

    AWE Switchpath Remote - Insurance

    Hi, Just bought and got my friend to fit the AWE Switchpath Remote to my S3. It basically allows me to open or close the exhaust valve via a remote. The Remotereceiver was plugged in under the car at the back. It was expensive for what it is, however it does change the exhaust note to a...

    Which induction kit for sound?

    Hi, First post and a new owner of an S3 8V (2014 plate). Looking to increase the engine noise slightly, although I am under no illusion it will ever sound like a V8! My mechanic friend recommended the Carbonio brand but when looking on Awesome GTI it only gave me the option to purchase the APR...
