Hi all,
Driving my 178k 2001 S3 today and noticed on hard acceleration my steering wheel wobbled. I've not hit anything or done any work recently.

Hope this...

Hi all, been a while since I've posted. All has been well with my S3 until today. Driving home I heard a snap sound and had no clutch. Drove the car home and found clutch pedal intact and moving but no hydraulic feel. Also looks like fluid on top of gear box.
Car has done 175k and clutch was...
Happy new year everyone, going to get my standard 17" alloys powder coated and tempted to go a bit darker silver than they are currently. Feel like anthracite might be a touch too dark on a black S3 . Anyone got any pics of a black S3 with slightly darker alloys and colour code?
Hi all, not been on the forum much but my S3 is going strong and nearly at 170k.
Recently I've had a slight knock when applying the handbrake but didn't really worry about it. This morning rear brakes were seized on and handbrake lever was slack till just about full.
I took it to nearby...
Hi, I currently have a full key set for my 2001 S3 but would like to get a remote for my wife for when we're away camping. Would it be possible to buy a 2nd hand fob and reprogram it? That way if it gets lost is no hassle
On Friday drove 100 miles from Edinburgh to Lochgoilhead driving sensible as had a passenger that got travel sick easy. Weather was really bad and a lot of standing water and a few streams going across the roads. S3 8l AMK drove as normal with no issues.
Driving back myself I had a bit of fun...
Just checked my oil level (been a few k) and it was at the bottom of the dip stick, but no warning light. Seen a few posts about faulty oil sensors but they are usually posting saying oil is low when it's fine. Will a vcds scan show a faulty sensor? Think I've read that warning light only comes...
Found coolant on top on of gearbox after parking car and after a quick google search it looks like my CTS housing is leaking. My S3 is a 2001 AMK and i think the correct part number is 06A 121 132 AP. Do i need to order any seals or other parts when fitting. Going to flush coolant and use G13...
Hi, messing around with my aerial and managed to snap the connector on the loom side at the join near the rear interior light. Anyone know the the route the loom takes and is there another join before it reaches the head unit? I've made a temp joint just now but would like to get it sorted. Car...

Will try and keep this simple . My S3 is my daily and not a show car had a few bits of rust on bottom of wings and stone chips on bonnet and wings. I put it into a reputable garage who do a lot of work on classics for 4 wheel alignment today.
When i went to pick up car it wasn't parked outside...
Just tried to scan my s3 8l due to hesitation and vcds wouldn't connect, seems like my obd2 port is loose. Vcds was connecting fine before tonight .
Anyone had this before and could tell me if I can just get another port from a scrappy and how hard would it be to swap it over?
Cheers
