After 4 years of ownership I traded in my S3 today, damn, I should be happy tonight. Anyhoo, because of space requirements (fishing tackle not babies) it was just too small and too low to the ground. So it's place has been taken by a Subaru Forester 2.5 XT which has been very highly specced...

Just paid the last installment of the car yesterday including the "balloon" payment, over £4k. Heading home tonight and some clown in a minibus decided to do a U turn in front of me, he stopped on the opposite carriageway but moved forward as I passed, hit me just behind the drivers door and...

Not sure if this has been posted before, found it tonight while surfing on S3's. Alleged pics of the new S3, engine is apparently a 2.0 TFSI putting out 272bhp. Linky below. World Car Fans

I was having an end of year cleaning up of the hard drive and came across this, given the price stated I'd imagine it's from 1999 as the price dropped to £25k. I'd still love to see an S3 on Top Gear. It's Mika Hakkinen in a Marks & Spencer suit; Motoring. (Features) Jeremy Clarkson. I MET a...

Had to put my car (S3) into the stealers today, drove it with 2 passengers last week and on right hand turns the tyre was rubbing inside the wing especially on hard lock. Had my local garage have a look at it and was told that the springs and shock absorbers looked fine. No problems with...

This week when I have started the S3 in the mornings the Coolant Warning beeper sounds and the warning display appears. It happens just after I start the car, it does the usual engine check which displays OK. A minute or so after this the warnings happen. The coolant levels are fine, the car...

It's been a long week since I got my S3, drove it over last weekend and noticed the fuel gauge wasn't dropping, even after 150 miles. I called the stealers on Saturday, got the courtesy car on the Monday. Next day they told me it was the fuel sender unit, which I'd already worked out having...

Yesterday was my first full day of driving the newly arrived S3. Mostly it was a day of great fun, and I love the car to bits. HOWEVER, on at least five occasions I was either cut up or challenged by boy racers. It seems that every young guy in a VW Golf wanted to make a point, or so it...

After a week of hassle the car arrived today. Now begins 4 weeks of testing to make sure nothing else is going to break. If it does I can hand the car back as unsatisfactory. Although they took their time I think the stealers (Ingrams Ayr) did a good job. The car is immaculate for a 99, they...

I was supposed to get my S3 on Monday, the finance didn't arrive, ok no big problem. Tuesday the cheque arrives, I rush about like a blue ***** fly getting bankers drafts written out and trundle off to the dealer, 35 miles away. I get there to be informed the car won't be "ready" for another 2...

I've fitted a few car stereos in the past, in fact I repaired them for many years too. Now I'm due to take delivery of my S3 tomorrow, I know it has the standard 6 CD changer. I'd much rather have an MP3 capable changer in there (got 10k of the things on the HD). The standard head unit in the...
