    Ok, so what’s the deal with CarPlay?

    I’m fine with centre display. I’m not a fan of the map on the cockpit for some weird reason. Good to know it’ll have it tho

    Ok, so what’s the deal with CarPlay?

    a few years back I was part of the 8P Audi S3 crew but got rid of the car due to lack of use and ended up trading it in for a bike for a bit of fun. Now, I’ve put a deposit down on an ex demonstrator 2019 Audi S3 black edition. That’s the back story so I’ll get into my question. the car I’ve...

    iPhone 4 RNSe Not Supported?

    I've got a 2011 S3 and never had a problem using any iPhone. I used 4s with the cable i have which has the old connector and I've used the same connector with an adaptor for the 5s and 6s. It usually comes up straight away so it should work although i have no idea how to fix it. Also, spotify...

    I had my S3 detailed. Some pics!

    It wasn't cheap. Around 600. That was for their minor correction detail which starts at 400. He reckons he gets about 90 percent correction with that. That includes all the paint done, the wheels taken off and arches cleaned, an interior valet and then it was protected with gtechniq c1 with a...

    I had my S3 detailed. Some pics!

    Yeh it's on maxwell street in South shields. I'd really recommend them. It was initially supposed to take 3 days but they kept it for 4 as it had some really bad spots but they didn't charge any more. Seem to really give a **** about what they do. Not sure if they do re sprays but the street...

    I had my S3 detailed. Some pics!

    So I bought the car in December and a few weeks back the sun came out. Swirls, swirls everywhere! So I booked the car in with TDI in the north east to correct the paintwork and give it a little bit of protection with gtechniq. The guy put some pics up a few days ago so I thought I'd share them...

    What did you and your 8p do today? :)

    After having new pads and discs fitted to the front and a major service including rear and front washer replaced and a Haldex oil change the car has been dropped off today for a lengthy spa treatment. Losing the car for three days while the paintwork is corrected and polished as well as a big...

    S3 brake discs

    Purely for the reduced brake dust. They're better than OEM and while not as good as the redstuff in terms of stopping power they do what i need but don't have as much brake dust.

    S3 brake discs

    so I'm getting near my limit on discs and want them changed before my car goes in for a deep clean and protection in 2 weeks. Anyway I decided on EBC red stuff brake pads and thought why not just order all together and get the discs from them too. However, before I ordered I noticed that they...

    I think it's 345 in the front and 310 in the rear. Don't quote me on that though. I'm looking for new discs at the minute myself.

    S3 Sat nav problem

    Basically because my warranty for wear and tear doesn't kick in until the 30 day/1000 mile mark.

    I'm now officially in the club (S3 black edition)

    Yeh its the original sat nav disc. Going to have a shot at cleaning the lens and if not then at least i have a warranty. Bad point is i have to wait 30 days for wear and tear items which i assume this comes under.

    S3 Sat nav problem

    Ok so i've just bought a 2011 S3 and i'm having problems with the sat nav. I did check the unit when i bought it with regards to radio and CD's which worked perfectly. The car came with a 2011 Europa disk which is perfect with no scratches. Anyway, when i put the disk in the unit it shows...

    I'm now officially in the club (S3 black edition)

    Thanks guys! No plans as of yet as my last car was a 1.0l corsa so its got plenty power for now. Any little things i would have done on the outside are already pretty much how i would have it anyway (such as the front and rear carbon fibre splitters) so nothing as of yet. Maybe some upgraded...

    I'm now officially in the club (S3 black edition)

    Well guys I'm officially and Audi owner. Went for a test drive today and immediately fell in love with a white s3 so bought it there and then and took it straight home. Missing only the rear parking sensors and immaculate condition. (Until I followed dad home in his car with a leaking oil...
