Hi Everyone, Can you possibly help with some approximate costs and even recommendations for a local specialist? I have a friend who owns a 2012 A3 Sport 2.0 TDI. He recently had an mot where he was advised about a 'slight chatter' from the gearbox casing, but was not told that it needed...

Immensely sad to see the S3 go last week. Has been an amazing car for me. Blow was softened somewhat by picking this up on saturday morning (minus private plate). Very different to the S3 - 3 litre straight six. Instant throttle response and very fast car. Very pointy and direct - although...

Seller has a car advertised in a car forum. Buyer enquires about the car and after a period of negotiation a price is agreed. Buyer arranges to view the car at the earliest convenience and to put a deposit down subject to viewing and test drive. Seller and buyer discuss method of payment of...

I was going to post the usual 'what's my car worth' but thought the above title might be more appropriate :) So what could i perhaps expect privately or trade in for the following; 2000 X reg APY pre-facelift S3 in black 149K miles (mainly motorway mileage as i do 23k or so a year) Mods...

Apologies to those to whom this doesn't apply BUT if you have posted details of a refused roof rail anti-corrosion warranty claim in the sticky please read that thread NOW. Mods - sorry about this but just want to make sure that everyone to whom this is relevant is aware of it. Apologies in...

FAO mods please. Tried to post in the site support section but i don't seem to be allowed to create a thread. I'm just wondering what has happened to all the stickies here? I'm especially concerned about the anti-corrosion warranty sticky here in the 8L forum as i'm trying to get a...

If anyone has replaced their pre-facelift S3 headlamps with facelift versions and has the old ones gathering dust i need a complete nearside (passenger) unit with fixings. Please see; http://audi-sport.net/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=3729 Mods - apologies for posting here but i...

This is probably a silly question and all, but anyway, here goes. With height adjustable coilover kits will ride height affect ride quality i.e. the lower you go the harsher it gets? Or are ride height and quality totally unrelated, or is the relationship more complex than that? Info...

Dear All, Further to the "Rust on your roof" thread i would like to compile a list of members who have approached Audi for warranty work relating to the anti-corrosion warranty, along with the outcome. It seems that Audi's response to these Warranty claims is not standardised and that...

As per title of thread boot won't open. Has been sticking and playing up occasionally for a while. Pull catch but nothing happening. Any ideas anyone? Cheers.

Hi, As per title indicators knackered and need to change relay / hazard switch. Can i do this without removing the stereo (i have the part) as i don't have the correct tools? Can i get the fascia off without removing the stereo and without damaging it? 2000 pre-facelift S3. Cheers in...

Any idea where to get one of these cheaper than from audi (£100)? Cheers.

As per title for the last week on startup the car (2000 S3) is fine for a few secs and then bouncing idle (up down, up down almost as if it might cut out - only way to describe it) until I give it some revs and then it's OK. Fine in general driving and idling in traffic and won't do it again if...

Any ideas. S3 Brake system warning light coming on intermittently for last 2 days and noticed back stepped out slightly when braking in wet once last week (never noticed this before). Brake fluid level OK - so is this ABS related? Thanks in advance.

sorry know this has been asked a million times. need to top up the S3 with a fully synth - what's best that's available say at Halfords? many thanks in advance.

As per topic need 4 wheel alignment asap in either Birmingham or Manchester area (live in Birmingham but up in Manchester fri through sun). Have tried awesome and they can't fit me in. Any other reliable options for an alignment on a lowered S3 that I might try? Cheers in advance.

As per title does anybody know somewhere where I can get a 4 wheel alignment done on my S3 in or very close to Birmingham? Obviously discounting dealers and must be reliable. Thanks in advance, B.

As per title - getting a second hand brembo kit fitted this week, but with new discs and pads, and wondering what the best way to bed these brakes in is. Brembo website advises light/moderate braking for 3 secs from various speeds for 30 or so times with 1/2 mile between each to allow cooling...

Hi, I'm looking at buying a second hand brembo GT kit and have some pics. Not very good at this and would like an opinion as to whether there is any life in pads and discs from the pics I have been sent. Can anyone who might be able to give an opinion P.M. an e-mail I could forward the...

As per title of post. I'm presuming a kit for a 225 TT will fit straight onto a 2000 S3? Cheers, B.
