    Sport or S line

    Like others have mentioned, Sport sits a bit higher than S-Line, comes with 17” alloys and the suspension is a tad floaty compared to S-Line. And Sline looks a bit sportier. Having said that, I bought Mrs a Sports 2014 with all the options ticked and then got her 18 (from an RS3) and Eibach...

    So the S3 has moved on...

    Oh dear @Jimbob76 - what have you done. Just kidding mate, needs must. And there is definitely one lucky guy out there who managed to get himself a lottery! I can also confidently say that there are very few examples of S3 out there, which are kept in as pristine a condition as yours was. I...

    Audi A3 saloon lowering springs

    @CKr101, I bought the Pro Kit for my S4 as well as A3 from Damian @DPM. Top man with competitive prices and super helpful.

    Audi A3 saloon lowering springs

    Nops, but sports suspension which is 15mm lowered than the standard one. Sline is 25mm. The Prokit drops the car by 30mm on stock height (non sport suspension). So, in a nutshell you should get an extra 5mm drop on your sline suspension. My neighbour has an 8V sline and I can confidently say...

    Audi A3 saloon lowering springs

    Tbh, I didn’t do a before and after measurement but for me the drop is just perfect. All I can show you is before and after pictures. Before After

    A3 fault code

    I don’t see a connection between PLA and gearbox [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51] having said that, I could be wrong (have I given you some hope here [emoji23][emoji23]). Similar issue on a B9 as reported by @cuke2u https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/gearbox-malfunction.305292/page-3 Sent...

    A3 fault code

    It is a “known” fault on these gearboxes across the VW range. You won’t be able to clear that DTC, the switch or the whole mechanism needs to be replaced. And you are looking at somewhere between £500-£1000 to fix it. My Mrs’ car has thrown the same error message a few weeks ago and it is...

    Audi A3 S Line - S-Tronic - 1.4 or 1.8?

    I have a 1.4 (no COD) with 125ps engine and never once has it felt underpowered. As long as you are realistic with your expectations that you are running a 125ps engine you'll be fine [emoji23]. And I have tuned S4 and a BMW 330d as well. Off course you can't compare a 1.4 petrol with 3.0ltr...

    Can we make a retrofit folder on the a3 8v forum?

    Only admin team can make a thread a sticky. If you look at the threads @Sandra has shared above, I am sure you'd be able to find quite a lot of it. If in case you think there is a or a few things missing and you're planning on doing them, then simply post the retrofits in one of these threads.

    Can we make a retrofit folder on the a3 8v forum?

    There is a retrofit thread that I've come across in the past, I'll have a look and let you know. If not, will discuss it with rest of the team and come up with something.

    Humming noise when driving.

    Sounds more like bearings I am afraid. You'd need to get the car up on the ramp to find out the exact cause. Bearings can cause uneven wear on the tires too and that can cause humming noise as well. Better getter it checked.

    MMI shutdown by itself ?

    It's normal. Sometimes the MMI wont come up, just reset it and happy days.
