    Long term ownership advice - S3

    If it's an s-tronic it should be changed together with a new filter every 60000km (~40k miles?) The manual option I don't now the intervals of. But rather change it for peace of mind if you dont know how old the oil is.

    A3 - weird electrical problem

    It sounds like it could be the ignition lock or a simple thing like an ground connection to chassis somewhere. But, as paddy says, check the fault codes first.

    S3 8p gearbox whine

    Am I thinking right that if it's only in first and second gear it shouldn't be the transfer box?

    Help on rims pls....!

    I'm running 8x18 et43 rims with 225/40 tyres and they are almost flush with the fender on my 2012 S3. The S3 have the same fenders Front/back as the A3. Et40 is just sticking out 3mm more and will be perfect flush I think!

    18x8 ET35 - will they fit?

    I'm running 8x18 et43 and same size tire as you on my S3. Stock suspension. No rubbing. Pics on my instagram. In the back I think an et35 will work with almost perfect flush fitment. It's in the front I think they are gonna poke a bit. My et43s is almost perfectly flush up front. Et35 will...

    Facelift FL Tick / Rattle

    Good question. The insulation isn't heavy. Probably just a couple of hundred grams. So it chouldn't be about that. And its not like its going to melt because of the temperature from the 5 cyl compared to the 4 cyl. Could be as you say but in the end it is a decition from Audi related to cost...

    Facelift FL RS3 Front Brake Air Guides.

    Interesting as I don't have these air guides in my front inner fender shown here in red. As I look it up there is two versions of the front inner fender. Cars built before/after 18/9-2017 have different ones as seen in the pic below: Then it's a cheap and great upgrade to mount both...

    Facelift Known fault with FL RS3 - ticking exhaust valve..

    Great post, again, T-800! It clearly says that noises shouldnt occur after the ~20 sec. warm up phase. Although Ive clearly heard light ticking on rs3s driving past me on the street :smirk: And changing to catless downpipe enhances this sound as well.

    This is the great oem tool to use for stamping sensor holes in bumpers: http://vag-shop.co.uk/genuine-vw-tool-for-cutting-18mm-hole.html There is also marked on the inside of the bumper where the holes should be. But if there is a version with pre-made holes then I recommend you to go back and...

    Facelift DAZA engine SSP

    Great upload! And as you T-800 and others already have concluded. In print on page 45/55: "If there is no control, the wastegate valve is opened." And thus making the cold start tick.

    New Platform RS3 (&S3) v Merc

    Speccing the new rs3 as discrete as I could was a natural thing for me. As I mentioned before got robbed of my last rs3 in misano/alu pac. Saying that the scums won, yes maybe, but I've always loved sleepers. I like ninjas more than pirates.
