    Tyre ratings of original tyres that came with the S3

    Cheers. Certainly the remaining and the alleged value are very close. However I need to get a couple of wheels refurbished and potentially a couple of other things done so there may be some negotiation done.

    Tyre ratings of original tyres that came with the S3

    When I placed the order for the S5, the S3 was running a bit of negative equity. However, looking at the figures now, there is not that much of a difference. So I will be asking the dealer to look into PX also. The BVRLA guidelines that Audi Finance follow do mention about having the same tyres...

    Tyre ratings of original tyres that came with the S3

    Thanks. The car will probably go back to the finance company soon and I believe they stipulate the tyres must be of a similar setup to those that came on it. The tyres currently on it are 225/40 18 92Y which appear to match the original ones.

    Tyre ratings of original tyres that came with the S3

    It's the 225/40 stuff on the tyre walls I'm looking for. Curious if the tyres on it now are the same rating as the originals.

    Installed my new AUDI CLEAR MOUNT PHONE HOLDER!

    I have one of these and can agree with others that it is very good. However, I am waiting on a new car to be built and will be selling my clearmount in the next few months. Keep your eyes open if you're interested.

    Chewbacca Noise From Rear Brakes When Reversing & Noisy Seatbelt Socket !

    Snap with the reversing noise. It doesn't happen every time and I've yet to find what the common scenario is. Done nothing about it yet......

    1.8TFSI and 2.0TFSI S3 : Metallic Rustle/Rattle between 1500-3000 rpm

    I've 3500 miles on my S3 stronic sportback and getting the noise. I'm no expert but suspect that after a couple of thousand miles, something underneath loosens up and resonance kicks in

    Little surprises?

    When listening to music/podcasts on your phone, if you stop the car and engine, and open the door, the music stops. However, if you keep your foot on the brake, the music continues to play.

    Which is better looking - S3 sportback or 3 door S3?

    Years ago I had an 8P S3 3 door as I reckoned it looked better. Recently I went in to order a white or black 8V 3 door and ended up placing an order for an Estoril Blue sportback. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    Washing car with mirrors folded in.....

    Unlocking the car doesn't make the mirrors go back out. Also, I have the advanced key option.

    Washing car with mirrors folded in.....

    I have the option set to have the wing mirrors folded in when the car is locked. Whilst I'm washing it, what is the easiest way to get the mirrors unfolded?

    Panther black with chrome or Glacier White with black pack 3 door S3

    Would agree that white stays cleaner looking for longer. My Estoril Blue is only clean for a day before it looks dusty.
