New s3 looks good from some of the articles and looks like it will have all the stuff from the golf r that was missing from launch.

At the moment with zero commute and working from home the s3 went from my daily to getting used a few times a weeks to do errands. Mileage is around 40k so not much point in getting rid of it for now. With crazy car prices and crazy APR not much out there I fancy. Was offered a crappy trade in...

Might work out well for me. Plan ends 31st July but but not 6 years old till a week later.

I’ve been looking at this. Max is 6 years old but it’s unclear if that’s at the start of the activation or at the end of the 2 years term. Mine will be exactly 6 years old when my all in warranty runs out.

Check the battery. I had all sorts of weird errors on dash when my battery was in its way out even though it started the car. These electronics are quite sensitive to voltage fluctuations

If you have vcds or obd11 you can code them out easily. I don’t believe they are road legal either.

Does it look like this? https://youtu.be/o45PmaH7PW4?si=92KHMrVaHSfd8P9j

most likely pace car mod done on vcds. Should be able to undo it with coding.

Not had any paint work done in years so not sure who’s good nowadays. Alaris in buffies brae used to be good in Dunfermline area. If it’s just a diffuser any mechanic can surely fit that.

Im in dunfy too

Headliner is a bit easier to remove on hatch and sportback as you just open the boot and start working around it. On the saloon the window is in the way which increases the risk of creasing the head liner. I would also consider replacing the rubber seals on the aerial while you are there as...

Somethings as I understand it is cheap clones and others are genuine items. Audi has factories in china for assembly. That way they avoid import tax. Some parts are, let’s say borrowed and sold so can be genuine items and others are just clones as some parts are too expensive to repair/replace...

seems folks are having issues with AliExpress or non genuine units. I can say @DJAlix fitted my genuine one about 4-5 years ago and still works a treat and never had bother with it. Best and most used retrofit on my car.

you need to show us the adaptation for the battery. Remember AGM batteries need to be coded as fleece not AGM.

Computer starts booting as soon as you unlock. So if you are quick to get in the car you will need to wait. You are talking a few seconds here and there. Other stuff to check is your battery, I’ve had 2 failed batteries in 6 years. And when the last one started failing things like MMI booting...

That’s how it starts of it the thermostat housing. Just tell them you using a litre a week with no puddles. They will have to investigate.

It’s does get worse. Mine started loosing a little and every month or so need a top up. Then it was like weekly. If you can get under the car and get the under tray off the sump and all around with have a crusty white stain. Cause it’s so little the heat from exhaust and engine dries it up so...

I had to replace my coolant reservoir cause I had a leak from the reservoir or cap so replaced the lot. The latest revision I got from the dealers didn’t have the silicon bag. Maybe they have caught on it’s causing issues. A year later I had the dreaded water pump/thermostat housing leak and...

If you aren’t comfortable messing with brakes then don’t. It’s one thing that needs to work on a car. It’s fairly simple if you are comfortable doing this stuff. just nuts and bolts but all needs torqued properly when you put it back together and don’t overdo it with the copper grease, just...

Oe plugs are ngk, I think, which is what I normally use. Think a colder plug is all that’s needed. Dsg I’ve not got a clue as thankfully never had to replace or repair one. Last car, company car, did 80k without even a service and seen some taxis go well over 150k with no issues. Think TVS is...
