Well, I never thought I'd be posting this, but my much loved and cared for Denim Bllue S3 has been traded in and I'm now running around in a Polo (6R) GTI... I had a bundle of joy arrive about 10 months ago, and so really needed 5 doors, so I went searching for something more suitable. I miss...

Hi guys. Typically, and when all the car parts shops are shut today, my S3 has developed a startup oil leak that appears to be coming from the oil cooler where it meets the engine mount. I understand this is a common problem, and the o ring part is cheap. The problem is, where to find one...

Just purchased and fitted one of these TIP's, fast service from Bill, many thanks. Ive kept my standard air box and filter, didn't fancy the extra noise! My old original TIP was tired though and looking a bit sorry for itself, so thought why not. Fitting was straightforward, the supplied clips...

Ok, got a problem that started yesterday. Basically, I was driving along when without warning the headlight washers on my S3 activated and the front windscreen wipers started wiping. I checked the stalk, and it was where it should be, no amount of switching it up or down would turn the wipers...

Something has been bugging me about my S3's headlights since I got it, and that is the cloudiness of the headlights. I tried some plastic window cleaner with a dremel, but that didn't seem to shift it at all. I read today about kits you can get to clean them up, and googled a few threads about...

Driving back home on Friday evening, everything normal, but suddenly three beeps and red flashing thermometer in the DIS. temp climbed to 110, and didn't look to be stopping, so I did! Temp dropped quickly, but within a couple of miles it was in the red again. I decided not to risk it and got...

Ok, got another little issue with my car. Basically, the fuel gauge seems to have a mind of its own. Parked up last night, 1/4 tank showing, roughly 90 showing on the DIS fuel range display. Started off this morning, nearly full showing on the gauge (I hadn't added fuel!), but DIS range...

Ok, symptoms are; 30mph+, droning noise starts and gets louder up to about 60mph. I've got a spare set of wheels and tyres, so changed those in case it was tyre noise - no change. At 50mph, I can switch off the engine, then turn the ignition so I've still got steering etc, droning is still...

Bit of a quick, if a little daft, question! Should my 1.8t have any noise insulation under the bonnet? I was checking the oil the other day and suddenly noticed I was looking at silver paint instead of matting like I've had on my other cars!

I'm just asking this question on behalf of my Father In Law, who owns an A4 B6 Avant Sport Quattro, 2003 MY. When reverse parking his car, he noticed that his nearside brake light wasn't working. He thought it was a simple bulb change, but on doing that it still didn't work. The middle and...

Hi, it's been a while since I posted on Audi-Sport, and first time in the A4 forum (I had an A3 quattro untill recently, but somebody crashed into it, and wrote it off...) So, I'm now the proud owner of an A4 B6 1.8T Sport quattro (2001 - 51 plate) and have been eagerly reading about all the...

Hi, I'm selling my car shortly (a 2002 MY A3 8L) which I fitted almost from new with a Becker Sat Nav HU. I want to keep that, and as I sold the Concert 2 long ago, I need to source an Audi head unit to replace it prior to sale. My question is, will the older Concert 1 units work in my...

I had a lot of knocking coming from the front of my car, so suspected ARB bushes or top mounts, or both! My car had done 90,000 miles now too, so I thought whilst I had it all apart it would make sense to change the shocks as well. I talked to the friendly folk at Jabbasport and asked about...

I know it's not a very sexy subject, but has anybody fitted a Westfalia detachable towbar to their A3 quattro or S3 please? Was it easy to fit? Did you have to cut the bumper at all? What can you see when the towball is removed? Many thanks in advance!

I retrofitted cruise control on my A3 over the weekend, and everything went well, and the cruise works exactly as it should. I was expecting to see a light on the dash cluster though, for when cruise is switched on, but can't find one! Does the A3 have such a light?! Ta in advance.

Does anybody know if the rear seats from an A3 5 door model are the same as a 3 door? I know the door cards are different, just wondering if the seats are the same width/fitting etc? Thanks in advance! :o)

Hi all, I've just been browsing the Audi UK website looking at new S3's, and there are numerous Phantom Black examples identically specified available from Jan 07. I'm presuming these are soon to be ex-demo models, so I'm wondering how many of you would be take the plunge and buy one of...

Hello, does anybody have/could point me to a wiring diagram for the A3 (8L) radio wiring loom? I'm in the middle of putting the bits together to change my standard Concert head unit to a Becker Traffic Pro. I'm ok with the speaker plug, and I've got an adaptor to take care of the active rear...

Hi all, I Saw what was badged as an S3 last night on the A1, it was dark but I think it was black. My Xenons picked out the S3 badge though as it pulled in front of me! Anyway, the thing that struck me was the 55 plate reg no, were they available then or not (ie pre Sept 1st)? I might have...

Hi all, I'd been reading about spacers on this forum for some time, and fancied making particularly the rears on my car fill the arches a bit better. The fronts look ok I think. I was all set to buy some 10mm spacers, but fortunately the guy at the shop talked me into 15mm, and also said...
