    Facelift Best tyres for 18 inch S3 wheels

    I replaced my Turanza tyres with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 within a month of my S3 being delivered. Hated the Turanza's. Can't fault the Pilots in dry or wet conditions. Would have got the Pilot Sport 4S but they only do them in 19" upwards I believe.

    Facelift Sat Nav/Map Traffic

    Do you have the tech pack? You should get a 36 month licence If you just have the standard SD based nav then the licence only lasts 3 month. If you call Audi UK they will extend it for 12 months for free.

    That moment when you find the source of any annoying creaking/rattle! :)

    I have an extremely loud rattle from behind the steering column when I drive on bumpy roads, recorded it the other day so that I can let the dealer here it. I've done around 9000 miles but it started about a month ago. Very annoying

    Facelift S-Tronic Question S3

    That's exactly like mine. Very annoying. I used manual mode today and found it a lot more pleasing to drive. I am going to start using the paddles more.

    Facelift S-Tronic Question S3

    Glad it's not just me then. I have alway driven manuals until I experienced the BMW auto and that's why I decided on getting the S-Tronic S3. The downshifts happen quite regularly and it is quite annoying especially under normal driving conditions. Flooring it in D/S are both the same, it's...
