Currently looking to return to S3 ownership after 2 years in an S4 following 6 glorious years in an 8l S3. Struggling to find a good S3 with circa 50,000 - 60,000 miles or less and the dealers I've spoke to seem to be total cretins, reluctant to disclose anything about the cars history. One...

Hi, I am probably going to be changing my 1999 S3 for either a S4 4.2 or more likely a Mk 2 TT 3.2 and wanted to get forum member views on the infamous cam chain stretching issues and others. Cars I'm considering range from 61,000 to around 90,000 miles. Is the cam chain problem widespread or...

At the suggestion of some on here I have replaced the coilpack wiring loom to try and sort a misfire. Car is a lot better and the old loom had several cracks in insulation but there's still a misfire, generally around 2750 rpm and most noticeable under load, at higher revs car is usually ok, but...

Thinking of replacing my 1999 S3 with a 2006 B7 S4 and little concerned re the engine reliability and in particular the cam chain death rattle. How common a problem is this and what are forum members experiences, hints and tips for a B7 S4 buyer. car will probably be 70-100k example Thanks in...

Driving to work today noticed that my windscreen wipers were moving much much slower than usual, even on "fast" they were slow. Not had chance to look but wondered if this is a common fault and if it's usually a tired motor or linkage issue? if its motor are all 8L motors the same? or does the...

My 1999 APY S3 normally is up to temp (90 deg) within about 2 miles of leaving home, however, last few days its taken a good 20 miles. Once it eventually get there its seems fine, sits at a steady 90 degrees as normal. My first thought was Temp Sender of Thermostat, but given that one up to...

Hi Folks, My 1999 S3 has a Forge turbo outlet hose between the Turbo and the hard pipe, been in place about 2.5 years and has popped off twice in last 3 months, last time was Sunday and has now come off a third time. RAC re attached it on Sunday and tightened the jubilee clip as tight as...

Hi Folks Thought this would be an easy afternoon task, replacing rear pads and discs, got everything apart ok but the discs would not come free. Have tried heat, and a large persuading stick, but no joy. Any thoughs or does any one near Plymouth have a big hub pulller that would pull the disc...

Does anyone with an S3 have any photos of the positionin gof the strut brace each side? I'vr bought one off ebay allegedly for an S3 but I have a sneaky feeling its off a TT as the drivers side does not seem to fit around the pipes in that area. also, any suggestions what bolts I should use to...

For about 2 months now I have had a rattle from the heat shield around the exhaust/cat, I managed to replace some corroded bolts on the one that covers the cat but still had the rattle from another one somewhere. The rattle only occured between about 1350 rpm and 1750 rpm and has been driving...

Well the good old S3 has shat on me again, 2 broken rear spings and a perished vaccum hose to the brake servo, such are the joys of a 11 year old 100,000 mile S3. Rather than just replace the 2 rear springs it seemd pointless not to upgrade the whole suspension, so a phonecall to DPM Perfomance...
