So after having a truck take out the rear quarter of my car at the beginning of the year, then my gearbox and thermostat failing in Sept to skidding on ice in Dec, taking out my front near side headlight and bumper, wing and bonnet… I have a question about the DSG repair kit and adaption...

Not having much luck with my car this year, a proper annus horribilis for me in respect of my car. Anyway, will post about it in another post shortly but I noticed a few days ago that I had started my car and my rear windscreen wiper started wiping without me pushing down on the steering wheel...

As per my earlier post, I was looking for a rear left LED light cluster for my B8 S4 Avant whilst waiting for it to be booked in for bodywork repair (truck hit my left rear quarter destroying my cluster). I found one on fleabay, which is now no longer needed as the insurance paid for a new one...

Nothing major, thankfully! But has anyone had issues with their rear washer jet where it just stops working? I’ve been through three of them, the last bought a couple of years ago, I’ve tested it without the washer jet and the screen wash does get pumped out so I know it’s not the pipes and I...

Does anyone have one who is willing to sell me? Need one to keep road legal whilst sorting out a repair to my car after a truck decided that he wanted to take up my parking space! Doesn’t have to be in great condition, just working as it’s just to last me until the car goes to the bodyshop...

A bit of an odd question because it seems most want to go the other way! Reason for this is my B8 S4 has been hit by a truck and now my left rear outer light cluster has been destroyed. As I still need use of the car and to keep it road legal, I need the replace the light temporarily before the...

Not having much luck recently and today a truck has decided to take a bite out of my near side rear quarter panel and lower bumper today, totally demolishing my rear light cluster in the process. As I don't have left side brake light, I need to get this fix as soon as possible. I've been...

My MMI unit blew a fuse the other day and when searching around for the fuse box in the boot (Avant), I noticed that on the passenger side the sponge like material was wet (please see photo). Funnily the side with fuse box (drivers side) was dry. I’ve not had chance to check the spare wheel...

I had a long drive this weekend and noticed that when braking hard, I get a lot of judder, so much that the whole car vibrates with it. I had the MOT and servicing done in June and at both times they said my brakes are fine and still had life in them. Could it be warped discs that is causing...

Looking for recommendations on a leather cleaner that comes as wipes preferably, baby takes up quite a bit of my time at the moment so not able to spend as much time as I would like to cleaning the car. Would be handy to have wipes as I can use it for any spills or just to give it a quick...

I've just upgraded my stock 18" to 19" rims running on 255 35 rubber and can't find what the recommended pressures should be. I've checked the label behind the door and also the manual but neither state pressures for 19" even though they were an option on the B8 S4 Avant (which is what I'm...

On my old S3 I could press and hold the 'auto' button on the climate control and this would set both sides of the dual-zone temps to the same (it bugs me when both sides aren't equal!) and I wondered if the S4 had the same feature. After a few minutes playing with the buttons, I've managed to...

Has anyone fitted the steel sports covers to their S-tronic B8? The part number I have is 8K2064205 for RHD cars, however the dealer tells me that these aren't suitable for my car. I've seen some for LHD and wondered if they would fit. I can't imagine that there would be any difference in...

I've just serviced my S3 at an Audi dealership and I was dreading the list of issues they would find, however they only recommended that I keep an eye on my rear tyres as they are getting close to the legal limit. They did however find a number of faults with the interior sensors, namely the...

I was just looking at my front bumper yesterday and noticed so many stone chips and the rear isn't looking too good also, hope much do you think it would cost to have them both repainted?

I just noticed the drivers seat clicking when I pull it forward, as in to let someone in to the back this evening. The passenger side is fine and slides smoothly without a sound. Anyone know what this might be and any solutions?

As the title really, been searching the forum and also the usual online stores, eBay and even Google'd it for some white bulbs to replace the yellow ones that I have for the DRL. I want to keep it OEM, hence my desire not to have the LED bulbs! Also, noticed that the flashing LED for when I...

So had the car a week now and it's been great fun, have managed to get some proper use out of it too, over 400 miles over two weekends! However I forgot to ask the dealer about this part that I found in the small cubby hole beneath the steering column, it's broken and looks like a hook of some...

Hey all, I've just recently joined (have already introduced myself on the welcoming thread), after just purchased a 2007 S3 8P and I have a few questions, which I would like your thoughts on. First question is when I start the engine, and especially when I lift the hood, the engine sounds like...

Hey, Wanted to introduce myself as I've been quietly using this forum before purchasing my car, but hadn't actually registered. Have recently just taken delivery of a 2007 Audi S3 8P in Phantom Black with 57k on the clock and have so far have been impressed with both the performance and build...
