    I take delivery of my S3 tomorrow!

    one and half years in, 10,000 miles and it is a great car, no issues other than software updates and a factory recall for the Seals under the bulk head to stop water ingress into the footwell. Good luck and enjoy.

    Functions on Demand - insurance implications

    Another point to consider, if you add the options on demand to your car and you haven’t done it via the UK app, in other words you’ve told the app you are in Germany, and something goes wrong, it will render your warranty void.

    Servicing cost of A3 8Y/8V

    I was quoted £325+vat for a oil service on my S3. Insane, hourly rate is £175, most garages charge £50 to £60 per hour labour. At £175/hour, it is more than a surgeon.

    Audi service charges.

    Booked my S3 in for a 12 month oil change service today. Exeter Audi quoted me £300 + vat to change the oil and oil filter, £175 + vat is for an hours labour. Rip off artists.

    S3 road tax

    Seems a bit daft that my 2.0l hatch road tax is only slightly less than a HGV. Ludicrous

    Just looked and my forms and I paid under £40k for my car. Is there a way I can change it?

    Time to sell your s3?

    Bit selling your house because you can get more for it. All well and good, but then you have to buy a new house that costs you more. I think I’ll keep my S3.

    MMI reboot

    I’ve been on 3 long distance trips recently in my S3, after about 2-3 hours on the road the MMI reboots in mid flight. Switches off and restarts to continue where it left off, even the song that was playing continues as if nothing happened. The navigation continues to work on the dash. Has...

    Audi S3 Black Grille / Parts

    Don’t forget, if you change the grill, you will need to recalibrate the ADAS systems.

    Bang & Olufsen Premium Sound System

    I have the same car with B&O sound and at first I was a bit disappointed, but over time it has got better and better. The speakers do need time to settle in.

    Audi Refuse Rejection Pt2

    I’ve had no issues with my S3 since getting it in Feb, fingers crossed. However, a few years back I bought a 1.5 TSi manual T-Roc complete with kangaroo option. I rejected the car and VW finance we’re happy to do the rejection but the dealer not so much, I guess it has a financial implication on...

    A3 1.5L TFSI Jerking

    “Miller cycle” engine. This concept was used on the 1.5 TSi and is fundamentally flawed. As far as I’m aware VAG will never fix the underlying mechanical problem and will only try and mask it as best they can with electronics.

    Keyless Entry Setting

    As far as I’m away you have to lock/unlock the car with the key fob. Starting and stopping the engine is keyless
