    Facelift S3 gone, I only called in to extend the warranty !!

    Mine is the 3.0 V6 Turbo, I'm not sure if they have changed the pedal layout for the B9 but I would say it's one of the most comfortable cars I have driven, especially the massage seats :grinning:.

    Facelift S3 gone, I only called in to extend the warranty !!

    So I thought I would go for the Audi all in warranty/service pack as I decided I would just keep the S3 as I couldn't decide what to buy next. When I was in for the initial inspection someone had just bought a new RS5 and traded in a 2017 S5 Coupe 3.0T, only 25K miles, same colour as my S3...

    Phone calls over bluetooth with android auto?

    There is definitely a setting for this in the car when AA is connected, mine was doing this and I eventually found it. Unfortunately my car is back in the dealers again so can't go out to find what it was.

    Facelift S3 hunting under light acceleration

    Unfortunatly it has returned after a few days so back to square one, maybe just keep doing Launch Controls. Would it be dangerous to drive with the ABS fuse removed, probably not very wise :tonguewink:

    ⚠️ALL S3 8V OWNERS COOLANT LEAK!!!!!!

    Had mine done as well, while they were replacing all the other parts in my engine. It was showing a slight weep around the thermostat housing, but I hadn't noticed any water loss.

    Facelift S3 hunting under light acceleration

    Yes, as the S-Tronic is really a manual box with automatic clutches it has basically the same interface to the engine. Torque converter gearboxes wouldn't have one. So I took the car out last night to try to see if my BIL could shed any light on the issue, he could detect the issue immediately...
