    Facelift Irritating Rattle Being Investigated By Dealer

    So my A4 BE went in yesterday (after a 10 week wait for my appointment) for a very annoying noise/ rattle/ knock or whatever it is that initially seemed around my right shoulder area (and varies in severity). The noise comes and goes and varies in location but it’s always my right side that...

    B & O Speaker Recall?

    Has anyone heard of a recall for the B & O speakers? I found this on the Audi World forum..... "I wanted to give a heads up regarding a current recall (70G6) for those with Bang & Olufsen speakers. Apparently the issue is with the aluminum trim on the door speakers coming loose and causing...

    Google Earth Sat Nav Route Options

    Has anyone else encountered dubious route instructions on the Google Earth sat nav? I have checked the route options and the only thing disabled is the toll road option so are there some further options that are not obvious (other sat nav systems use settings like "fastest route" or "shortest...

    Build Dates Question

    Hi all I ordered my A4 BE a couple of weeks ago and was given an estimated arrival date of 30th September, I finally got my order number email today and after logging into the tracker I was disappointed to find that it's quoting a build date of 26th October! How accurate is this normally? Also...

    Back To The Audi Family

    So, after 4 and a bit years I have rejoined the Audi family.... Back in 2009 I became the proud owner of a brand spanking new Ibis white S3 S-Tronic and I was extremely happy until 2013 when unfortunately I was followed home and car jacked! After unsuccessfully attempting to fight 3 men my...

    S3 DSG 1st Gear Launch

    Following on from Darrens post a few days ago about the DSG remap it has got me thinking, has anyone found an effective way to get a good launch in a DSG S3 (standard or mapped) without using the launch control i.e say a good standing start from a set of lights. Obviously as the drive is always...

    Revo Select Switch settings

    Hi all I purchased a Revo select switch directly from Revo when I had the car remapped but after receiving it in the post it didn't have any record of the settings that I requested (as given to me when it was mapped) so I asked them over the phone if my settings had been programmed or whether it...

    Performance Issues - Car Checks Out Ok, Paranoid Or Not?

    Hi all, Over the last couple of days my 59 plate S3 (remapped with Revo stage 1) has started to feel a little sluggish especially under high boost (I have felt it occasionally before and I posted some time ago) so after some digging around on here I decided to pop down to my Revo dealer for them...

    Whistling Noise Under Acceleration?

    Hi all, I noticed today that under hard acceleration I can hear what can only be described as a slight whistling noise, it almost sounded like air either rushing in or out of somewhere within the engine bay (although it's not very loud). Has anyone ever encountered something like this or have...

    Just Had Revo Installed - Question and Concerns.

    Hi all, I had Revo stage 1 installed yesterday (59 plate S3 with DSG) and I have to say that so far I`m not that impressed, when I remapped my old Focus ST the difference was astronomical but with the Revo the S3 does not feel that much faster than standard to be honest. Does it start to...

    I took my 59 plate S3 back to Audi a couple of days ago to look into why the alarm kept randomly going off and Audi have now apparently released a software update to cure the problem.

    Silly Question Time Again - S3 Climate Control.

    Probably a daft question but does anyone know how to turn the climate control off on an S3? With the weather getting better (for how long!!) sometimes it`s nice to have the window down which makes having the climate running pointless (I know you can turn the AC off but you still have to...

    Adaptive Xenon's - How to Tell?

    Is there anyway to confirm that a car has adaptive Xenon's fitted as I am not overly impressed by the performance of my headlamps. I spec'd them when I ordered (at extra cost of course) on my S3 but I have to say that they are not that bright (dipped or main beam). My old Focus ST had them and...
