Hi all, I'm after some advice. I'm after a new set of wheels for my RS3 for the "summer" season (as if we get such a thing lol). After a lot of deliberation I'm 95% set on these very nice Advan RSII in "Hyper Black" which is more of a titanium/gunmetal finish, I think they will look cracking...

Just a little heads up. My previous 10 plate S3 8P was a nightmate for getting a LED rear number plate solution working. Despite the option being available in VCDS (LED rear licence plate bulb w/o pulse width modulation) you couldn't fit them without an error on the DIS saying a bulb was out...

Hi all, So thought I'd better get a thread started :) I came from a 2010 S3 Sportback so the RS3 was the natural progression given how much I loved my S3. Reasons for changing were firstly that I wanted to switch to S-Tronic after driving one for the weekend last month and in the pursuit for...

I'm looking at getting a set of 18" wheels for the winter as they're much cheaper for winter tyres. An after market set came up on the for sale board but I'm wondering if there's any other options people can recommend from experience? Anyone running 18's for the winter at all? Cheers!

As title, after a year with my S3 I'm at the point of wanting to trade it in for an RS3, I just love the RS3 and after test driving one last week locally I'm sold, the gearbox is a revelation the power is effortless and I just love the styling. I've kinda shortlisted two.... First this one...

Hi all, Very close to striking a deal on an RS3, parting in my S3 Sportback. Out of interest can anyone confirm what options were standard on the RS3, I think Nav was, what about auto lights and wipers? Bluetooth, Bose? Anything else? Cheers!

Thought I'd post this here as well as the classifieds given the relevance. As title, I stupidly bought the wrong ones for my S3 8P (different offset), cost me £50 + P&P The part number is MDC2290 and fits all TT's that have the 310mm rear disc. I left it too long to return them so they're...

Right, got a bunch of stuff needing doing and I've been let down so many times by various garages I'm really quite picky now. I need somewhere with experience of the S3 8P, needing clutch done at some point and other bits. Can anyone make and good recommendations? Cheers!

So inevitably I'll end up replacing the clutch on my 2010 S3 like everyone else. Just wanted to know what others paid for labour and what time it took the tuner/dealer/garage to do the job? I've just been quoted a full 10 hour day! Cheers!

Excellent offer here guys, thought I'd post it here as it's most relevant to the 8P http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/group-buy-discount-forum/221625-group-buy-autospecialists-stage-2-airtec-intercooler-upgrade-vag-2-0-tfsi.html :)

I really need the dimensions of the lower coil of a standard s3 8p rear spring, really just need to know the diamater of the bottom coil. Can anyone help? Cheers!

Hi all, need some advice. So just fitted new BBS CK 19's to my S3 Sportback, the suspension is stock. They're ET44 and 8J and stupidly I ordered 235/35/19 MPSS all round as this was the tyre size I previously had on my RS3 Rotors (ET50) with no rubbing at all, I honestly didn't think...

Alright folks, just wondering if anyone fitted their own downpipe to their S3 8P? I'm pretty mechanically minded, have been successful with most thing's I've tackled in the past. I removed my intake this evening to investigate access to the turbo/downpipe flange bolts, top lambda sensor and to...

After some advice. My car is a manual 2010 S3 Sportback with 31k on it. I park in a multi-story car park for work, it's a slow drive in 1st/2nd always turning right to get round it and up down the levels. I've noticed over the last couple of months, most noticeable when in first and only when...

Hi all, Been doing quite a bit of research on performance brake pads for my 2010 S3 8P lately and thought I would share my findings as the forum seems to be lacking definitive information, part numbers & prices. The prices listed are from hours of trawling the internet and are the best I...

I see a lot of posts around brakes and upgrading them from standard due to brake fade when driving hard. Most of the time I read people advising that the only advisable route is upgrading to an expensive, multi piston, big brake kit. They are a lot of myths around brakes and "warped discs"...

I'm just weighing up ideas here but after fitting the RS3 front grille I cant help thinking how much better it would look without a number plate covering most of it up.... So as I've got my private reg finally off my old car I'm needing to order up new plates and got thinking about a...

Just a heads up, I was not sure if I would be able to reset the service intervals using the SRI Reset option of VCDS on my 2010 S3 Sportback after reading that it does not work on later cars. My car was on longlife servicing having last been serviced/oil changed a little over a year & 11k ago...

They say you can tell a lot from your old spark plugs, I'm struggling to match these up to any used/condition pics I can find online. They've just been pulled today and I believe they're the original plugs which have done just under 30k So anyone with the knowledge care to comment? They...
