    Insurance Claim / GAP cover for stolen car

    As a tip for everyone, when you get your car insured in it's 2nd year, don't under insure it! Because i said the vale of the car was £24k in it's 2nd year, that is the price they are paying out on it, even though i couldn't buy a year old S3 for that sort of money. Basically i've cost myself £2k...

    S3 stolen in the night, gutted!

    My keys were on the hall table. I used to hide them away but the thought of a couple of blokes coming up the stairs (when my wife and 2 young children are in the house) to get my keys off me made me start leaving them downstairs. Don't know if it's a good thing or not really! I'm not going to...

    S3 stolen in the night, gutted!

    Sutton Coldfield. Apparently there have been a lot of driveway thefts recently in the area. Don't want it back now anyway after some hooligan has had his grubby paws on it. Oh well. Want a new one but that will prob get nicked too! What's the world coming to when you can't have a nice car in...

    S3 stolen in the night, gutted!

    Broke in through the back door, took the keys and drove it off the drive in under a minute! Police were good, there in less than 10 mins. GAP is with Surf & Protect, and is called Invoice GAP insurance Plus so need to look at that and make sure i'll get the difference between the insurance...

    S3 stolen in the night, gutted!

    If anyone sees a 09 black S3 in the Midlands area with 2 'thugs' driving it, it's mine! Stolen off my drive this morning at 4.30am, gutted to be honest. I got the car new and at a good price (just over 10% off list) and i suppose i'll get some crappy offer from my insurance co. I do have GAP...

    Anyone got a good pic of front windscreen?

    Just noticed on my S3 that the offside windscrren wiper looks too high and seems to be very curved. The end of it sits just onder the tax disc holder and is quite noticeable when driving. I haven't got access to a camera unfortunately but if anyone could post a pic of an S3 (preferably new...

    New S3, alarm going off randomly, help!

    3 months into ownership of a new S3 and the alarm has gone off 4 times completely randomly including last night at 4.30am which was greatly appreciated by my wife! Surely this is a fault that needs to be addressed? Anyone else had this problem or know how they can fix it??

    New S3, front bumper at bottom peeling?

    Mine's on the grey bit at the bottom. Looking at it i reckon they might be able to just replace the bottom bit actually. Still a pain in the **** though, and added to the cracked window from a stone chip last week i've not had the best of starts with Audi!

    New S3, front bumper at bottom peeling?

    New S3 only 4 weeks old and i noticed this morning that the bumper at the bottom (the gery bit) is peeling and flaking already quite badly. I could actually peel it all off easily. Surely this can't be right??? Anyone experienced the same or know what they will do to correct it?
