    **Just listed on eBay also** **Please WhatsApp/text 07743427201 as I don't get notification emails here** I bought this a couple of years ago to replace the one in my Audi S3 8V but never actually got around to it and now I've sold the car I have no use for it. When I bought it I was told that...

    [S3] Alternator charging voltage?

    Anyone know what the alternator should be kicking out on an S3 8V? Mine wouldn't start yesterday, jumped it and drove a few miles and it just about started again, then drove about 10 miles and it wouldn't start again. Put a new battery in and obviously it now starts fine, for now... Put my...

    Which oil filter and spark plugs for 2014 S3?

    I've decided this time I'm not paying Audi £475 for new oil and spark plugs. I assume the oil I need is Castrol Edge 5w30 fully synthetic so what filter and plugs do I need? Preferably from Halfords because I have a trade card.

    Washer fluid alert even when full?

    As per title, lately I keep getting the low washer fluid alert even though I have plenty in there. When the issue started a month or so ago it was a bit random, one day it would be fine then the next day I'd get the alert again and then the following day it would go away again and so on. But now...

    Does anyone actually know how to fix hot air from passenger side vents with A/C on?

    Please disregard my previous thread about this problem. Dual zone climate set to 16°C Drivers side vents blow 14.3°C (so I can assume that the A/C is working properly) Passenger side vents blow 22.6°C (not good!) This thread here does not solve the problem...

    Part number for S3 rear differential?

    Can anyone please tell me what part number the rear differential assembly is on a 2014 S3? I'm assuming there might be several compatible part numbers including maybe VW? Mine has started whining at about 40mph and more so while coasting and it's annoying me now. As there doesn't seem to be any...

    Hardwiring Dashcam to S3 8V

    Has anyone done this recently on an A3/S3 8V that could give me a few pointers to save me some time, all I really need is to know what fuse I can piggy back off of, where to earth it easily and if there are any tips to doing it without pulling the interior out.

    Excess noise from rear of car, wasn't there before.

    The last couple of times I've been in the car I've noticed a noise from the rear, it starts at about 35-40mph and sounds like I've left the boot open a bit, like a wind/whirring/hum/road noise sound. It's not real loud but I'm sure it's a new noise that wasn't there a couple of weeks ago. Car is...

    What spark plugs and panel filter for custom stage one map (PFL)

    As above, I want a decent panel filter to help get decent results from the map and on top of that I was told by a mate of mine who had his Golf R mapped that I'd probably need to change the spark plugs too as his standard plugs "couldn't handle it", the place that mapped his car put the plugs in...

    PFL Rear Wiper deactivate?

    You know the deal, wipers set to auto, stick car in reverse and if it's raining the rear wiper will come on. I don't like it, I keep my car very clean and the rear wiper marks just fu*k me off. From what I can see neither the OBDELEVEN or Carista app can deactivate this and I don't have access...

    Change DRL color? (S3)

    I bought a used 2014 S3 8V (pre facelift) recently and I've noticed that the DRL's are a more of a white/yellow colour and the headlights are quite purple so the two don't really match. The purple headlights look quite smart so I was wondering if there was any way to change the DRL color at all...

    Turbo Muffler Delete Pipe, yay or nay?

    Call me a big child but I like turbo noise, so is this an actual thing or just the usual eBay tat? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F223309390728

    Another Spotify/MMI question..

    I have a '63 plate (2014) S3 8V, if I open Spotify on my phone (Galaxy S8) and start playing an album/playlist I can then go to Media in my MMI and listen to it in the car no problem via Bluetooth and skip tracks with car controls, but I cannot view my library or switch albums or playlists using...

    Quick dual zone climate question..

    Is there a way to have the drivers side temp control knob control both sides of the car? I had a look in the massive owners manual but couldn't find what I wanted. Another car I had with dual climate allowed the drivers side to control both sides until the passenger touched their control knob...

    Viewing an S3 8v 2 door hatch in a few days, so...

    Obviously is there anything specific to look out for? It's got just over 60k on and it has full Audi service history with Haldex and S-Tronic having been done at 38k. And: 1. Do they all come with 'coming home' lights (IIRC it's called something like that), when the headlights come on when...
