    S3 Drone under braking

    Got the same again on order, well an 8Y obviously. Gone for Turbo blue, bit brighter, and added sound and comfort, to almost get to the black edition I have now.

    S3 Drone under braking

    I guess it was just coincidence, likely never noticed it before.

    S3 Drone under braking

    The £500 I found for disks and pads was Brembo, from third party. Hopefully it won’t get any worse before the car goes back in September hopefully.

    S3 Drone under braking

    Finally managed to get the dealer to come out with me in the car, post covid. They checked it all out. Car is 3 years old almost, 17,000 miles and it’s a slightly warped front disk, 20% worn apparently. Due to age of car, not covered. To me, a warped disk is sign of not fit for purpose...

    Facelift Only one of my windscreen washers is working?

    I just pop mine out from the bonnet, disconnect the tube, and the cable, and then work a bit of network cable into each nozzle.

    S3 Drone under braking

    Thanks for the replies. it’s done 15,000 miles, so not a massive number. Noted yesterday that it only does it whilst braking. If I use the gearbox, in Sport, it changes down enough to slow the car sometimes, there is no drone. No judder. Wheel bearing is a possibility, increased weight on...

    S3 Drone under braking

    Few months back I got all 4 tyres changed on my 2019 S3. Now that I have finally got the wheels properly balanced, I am experiencing a drone under braking. The change in tyres may be a coincidence, but once the brakes get up to temperature, the drone starts. I’ve had the wheels off and...

    Drive Select...

    From what I have been told, and this affects all VW group cars, as well as MB, Volvo etc I have recently had as hire cars, is that this is the programmed behaviour. It's so that if someone else gets in the car, wife, partner, whatever, it is in a default driving mode. No one has ever been able...

    2019 S3 Tyre choice

    Just replaced mine and kept with the same as it came with, P Zeros. Also a 2019 car. I was happy with the performance, so felt ne need to change. Also made sure that I got eth Audi version, A0 on the wall. No idea if there is any difference to the standard tyre though, apart from £20 a...

    Puncture repair or replace tyres, how many

    I came on here asking whether I had to replace all four or not. It’s my first 4 wheel drive car. I did not ask for everyone’s opinions on when to change, on the limit, 50% worn etc. Read my original post. Thanks to those that actually answered the question. To everyone else, thanks for your...

    Puncture repair or replace tyres, how many

    Some of the answers on here make me laugh. Blowouts, lol. Never had a tyre with 3mm blowout, in 30+ years. Also never had a tyre on the legal limit blowout either, too many factors of safety built in. I will be replacing all four, due to 4wd. as for always on the back, two schools of...

    Oil Level on Dispstick? Not clear!

    Looking at that picture above, I'd say the oil level was on the M of MAX. You can clearly see where the oil stops. Mind you as someone else said, very clean oil.

    Puncture repair or replace tyres, how many

    I’ll look to getting the 4 replaced. As for risking my life, are you for real? Even in the snow, 2mm is more than enough, no issues with grip, braking etc. Granted I don’t hoon around on two wheels and a door handle, but I don’t feel I am risking anything. So when do you replace, 5mm left...

    Puncture repair or replace tyres, how many

    I've a 2019 S3, and noticed today that the front left tyre was flat, like completely flat. Got it inflated again, so will see if it goes down. Rotated the wheel and can't see anything obvious. The tyres are probably around 2mm left, so getting close to the end. If I have to replace, can I...

    S3 service plan

    What do you mean, similar to Audi? I went to the website, put in my reg no, it came up with the options, automatically including the discount and I bought it. Got the agreement on email within minutes. No problems at all, no need to phone, or go to my local dealer???

    A3 1.5 19 plate advice please

    I have no official info, but understand it is an issue with the engine, and affects every brand that uses it, Skoda, Seat etc. I also understand VW group have no idea what needs to be done to fix it, or whether it’s even possible. This is from talking with various people in the VW group.
