    Coolant level

    Hi all S3 8v, 64 plate my coolant level drops (just around the minimum mark) when the car is warmed up. If you let the car cool down, or release the cap slowly, the level comes back up to the max mark. Is this normal? Or a common thing? Or a fault? Many thanks!

    Spare/sub

    Hi all New S3 owner here, 64 plate I picked it up without a spare. But don’t fancy not having one. So ordered a 2nd hand ‘Audi’ space saver, 18” (car has standard 18s) Anyway, the sub doesn’t fit in the middle. It’s too big. So….. Wrong spare? Is the sub from a 19”? Any advice appreciated!
