I've had my 2017 8V (auto) for over a year now and I'm starting to get the upgrade itch (I am a nightmare.) I have loved every minute of this car, it's probably the best I've ever had, but I'm almost at the point where it's starting to feel, dare I say it, a little boring ..maybe thats a bit...

My 'used approved' 1 year warranty comes to an end next month, whatever that was worth, and I'm getting the upgrade itch.. My local mechanic offers Revo products and I'm considering Stage 1. I'm no expert so would appreciate any advice here. Any of you guys Revo owners/users? Are there any...

Hi all, I've seen a lot of recommendations for Hammerite when it comes to painting rusty hubs but I was wondering if anyone has used any alternatives? Hammerite looks a little too glossy/satin to me, ideally I'm looking to paint them matte black so they dont detract from the wheels. Any example...

It's new tyre time (another tyre thread, I know.. I'm sorry!) for my 18" Black Edition wheels. Black Circles have Michelin Pilot Sport 4 for £89.40 a corner, with £40 off if you order 4. I noticed they also now stock the new Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 for £86.23 and £25 off when you order...

Hi Guys, After a few days of bad weather I gave the car a good bath today. I cleaned the wheels with my usual Meguiars wheel cleaner (spray on, leave for a minute, thoroughly jet wash off). She looked spotless, but now I'm pretty bummed to discover this has happened to one of my wheels...

Hi Guys, I have a 8V black edition S3 in Ibis White, exactly as below, just looking for some cleaning advice from fellow white car owners. Not looking to spend a fortune on products, £100 max. Currently I have just been jet washing the car and the only products I have are Meguiars Hot Rims...

Hi Guys, Just wondered if anyone has 'upgraded' their courtesy lights and if so did this result in any errors? I currently have the Audi rings which came factory fitted, is it simply just a case of swapping them out? I've seen a few on Amazon and eBay, an example can be found here Thanks in...

Hi Guys, It's been a while, 5 years since I had an S3. Pleased to say I'm now back online as I've just picked up a 2017 Black Edition S3 (Auto). I absolutely love it, quite the upgrade from my 2007! It came with the B&O sound system, and while it sounds good I don't feel like it's much of an...

Hi Guys, It appears my rear washer has stopped working, or at least water is no longer getting to the jets. I'm guessing it is blocked, is it possible to remove the cover and clean it? Any advice would be much appreciated before I go pulling things apart! Cheers

Hi guys, happy new year! just wondered if it was possible to disable electric window control from the keys? I keep my keys in my back pocket and must be sitting on the unlock button as I always go outside to find that my windows are down! Thanks for your help

Hi Guys, I have a bit of an issue which I'm hoping someone can give me a rough idea of what the problem might be. I had my car serviced a couple of weeks ago (stock 2008 S3) and everything has been great, but this morning when I was at the traffic lights it decided to start accelerating for no...

Hi Guys, I feel really dumb for asking this but I just can't seem to get air into my tyres. Im running Event WL905 XL's on my standard 18" S3 wheels. I've tried three different service stations' air machines and none of them seem to make a seal or start sending air, it just sounds like it's...

Hi Guys, So you know when you have a lollipop that is a little old and forms a sort of sticky goo around it, well one of my friends has kindly left a wrapper stuck to my leather seat covered in said goo! I've taken the wrapper off but now I have a nice big blob of blueberry goo stuck to my seat...

Hi Guys, I was just heading home through the back roads and put my foot down on a long straight, as soon as I did this my engine light started flashing and I had a loss of power in rapid succession. I pulled over and then set off again slowly accelerating, no problems, but then when I floor...

Just wanted to say a huge thanks to Juicy Jen and all her help recently. Basically the best pre and after sales I have ever experienced! If you have a specific problem, want to know about a certain product or just need some general detailing advice then I highly recommend heading over to Juicy...

Hi Guys, I haven't had my S3 for long (picked it up used, it's a 2008) and I've just noticed that at a certain angle the paintwork is absolutely covered in what appear to be watermarks. I have tried to photograph them, you could just about make some of them out here, but they are all over the...

Hi Guys, My pressed plates and plate surrounds just arrived and I was just wondering if it is safe to drill anywhere on the front grill? The previous holes don't line up with my surrounds and obviously I can see the radiator behind the grille but I just wanted to make sure there is nothing else...

Hi Guys, I want to swap out my chrome mirror covers for black ones (Ibis White 2008 S3) Would the cheapest route be to purchase black a3 covers? I'm guessing these are the same fit? Any idea on cost? Cheers, Nick
