    Note to self! drag starts on sachs

    I don't think you'd have done any damage at all. That clutch is designed for much more abuse than that. You're probably just analysing and worrying about it more because we are all a little precious about our own cars. Its probably smells because at only 1500 miles I recon its still bedding in.

    Why did you buy an S3?

    I think less owners who specced mag ride complain of the problem, albeit there are still some who have experienced it with mag ride. Thinks it probably worse without mag

    I could cry

    Jesus. She's hit something pretty damn hard. Looks like it's taken a sizeable chunk out of the tyre sidewall! Replace that tyre ASAP before doing anything else. The damage on the alloy is fairly small but with the tyre damage looks like a hard shunt. Hopefully Audi will just give you a brand...

    Why did you buy an S3?

    I really don't understand how annoyed people are getting with veeeight's views. He owns the car and has a right to make his opinion of the car known as many times as he likes. It's not the right of other people to try to break down his character in order to somehow invalidate his opinion...

    S3 - Traction, ABS and sliding

    Tyre squeal and understeer to the masses. I haven't driven that road so cannot fully compare but my Torsen equipped B8 seems to be able to apply traction better than your S3 veeeight at similar speeds and road conditions. What tyres are you running?

    S3 stronic saloon or s4 b8.5 stronic

    This. Torsen based Quattro makes a difference in my experience. That the supercharged V6 is a great lump! I personally love that supercharger whine and with deep enough pockets you can achieve big gains:

    Changing the model of the advanced key?

    For me the nsx key wins all. Simple and beautifully milled from a single block of metal

    Audi S3 not living up to my expectations

    I agree vee but it's a nice little taster of how the car is as a B road blaster

    Audi S3 not living up to my expectations

    I have seen many people say the same as the OP regarding the S3. However I've just watched this review: I generally trust what Matt Farah says, albeit he is reviewing a 2015 American spec S3 saloon

    What car did you own before the S3?

    Water dripping into car when doors opened?

    Yep, I certainly experienced this issue with my last car (A3 8P). Especially annoying with snow. No matter how much snow I tried to clear from the car, I would always end up with a big mass of snow on the drivers seat upon opening the door! [emoji35] I can't say I've noticed the issue with my...

    What car did you own before the S3?

    I dream of owning one of these. Financially it's very possible but my wife says that it will be an instant divorce if I bought on. Too boy racerish apparently... Kill joy!

    Slow throttle response

    This may well just be an unexpected side effect of dsg. I know that these are symptoms that many dsg users have complained of and documented on this forum. Some users do find it a very on and off affair. I certainly found that to be the case when I tried it out. Pulling out on roundabouts I...

    Audi and Amazon to try car-boot delivery service

    I wouldn't be concerned about the delivery driver trying to steal etc personally. I'd be more worried about the technology involved. The problem is that anything that has been made can be unmade. Any system can be hacked and the more open plan and restricted security access etc that is...

    Whats this CD all about?

    I always wondered what the handbook softkey was about! It just says insert correct disc (which I now know is this one)

    I think I don't like my gearbox

    Out of interest, do you think there's a correlation to the age of driver that prefers dsg or manual?

    Best and Worst Stealers

    I'd second this. Great service for me. Plus the setting of the dealership means that large passenger aircraft fly over every 20 mins. Very cool

    S3/A3 ride/handling...? Honest opinions

    Imo Haldex cripples S3 and RS3 models. Haldex is just no good for performance orientated cars. Much better for mini 4x4 vehicles like the ford kuga, Q3 etc. Torsen is a much better setup for performance but is vastly more expensive and would require reworking of the chassis but it would have...
