    Battery for S3? (i hate kwik fit)

    Cheers boys, no power in the garage so no option to trickle charge without taking the battery out every time. 540 A definitely the right power then? Too much like hassle to disconnect every time, think the reality is that I need to sell it, anyone want an S3?!

    Battery for S3? (i hate kwik fit)

    Apologies for starting a new thread on this, but have scoured the forum and can't find the answer... I don't currently drive the S3 much, it can spend 2-3 months at a time just sat in a garage, so I appreciate the battery is gonna have to be fairly decent...but I've had about 6 batteries...

    Free MOT or 49.99 for cover, how can I tell?

    I went for the £50 option this time I had my MOT, only later realised I'll probably not still have the car next year. I'm pretty sure I had a look and the paperwork implies it covers the car if I own it, but not the next person. Could be wrong though - good luck mate.

    Newbie - opinions on prospective purchase

    My S3 has now done over 100k, engine is great - replacing coils/anti roll bars/thermostat/alternator/battery etc is the painful bit! just be aware that the mileage will have taken it's toll on several components is all I'd say!

    Just bought a bargain part, replacing worn buttons on CC help?

    Does anyone know if the buttons on the chorus stereo pop out in the same way...then if anyone has any spares!

    Just bought a bargain part, replacing worn buttons on CC help?

    Cheers Maz, I grabbed an S4 unit a while back and hoping the buttons are the same, hadn't yet worked out how I'd tackle getting the buttons out!

    Anyone spot a problem with this?

    S3 OEM Stereo options?

    Hi guys, I've tried searching but no joy. Can anyone tell me what my options are for changing the existing single din Chorus tape player in my 2002 S3? I've got some button wear on it, so as far as I understand (assuming I can't be bothered to mess around with a double din cage etc) I...

    RAC Avus

    Really geeky & uninteresting I know, but has anyone else noticed the online RAC advert where the van has Avus alloys?? Just interests me that a graphics designer has decided S3 rims are more likely to make people sign up for breakdown cover - maybe they're gently suggesting that their patrols...

    The bit beneath the ash tray...in front of the gear stick

    Anyone else's discoloured like mine has? Not sure what the previous owner did to it Not a great photo - but to me it looks like it could have been caused by heat, rather than something being spilt on it. Can this bit of trim be picked up from Audi? (First time using Photobucket so...

    Squeaky Clutch Pedal !

    Mines been like this for at least a year now - really annoying! Had it thoroughly investigated from the interior side and the chap found absolutely nothing. He greased every surface he could find (and most of my footwell) but couldn't find anything wrong. He was confident it was safe though...

    Steering wheel badge

    I got mine at an Audi main dealer - wasn't cheap (£25 ish) but they fitted it for me for free, so i'm guessing it was a very quick job! Looked on ebay but the difference in price was minimal and I'd rather know it was a genuine one rather than some dodgy copy. I don't have a part number...
