    Gang tried to car-jack my S3 today!

    Glad they got some time in Jail. Even if, as others have mentioned, it'll be like a Holiday camp. But on the plus side, they aren't out and about causing misery to others. Hopefully they'll run their mouth off inside thinking they're Billy Big ******, and some proper hard nut will give them a...

    Facelift Time to move on...

    Congratulations on the new car. Another Audi owner who's jumped to the dark side ! I think the 235i looks better than the 135i, especially in side profile. Certainly an S3 saloon alternative. I'm not 100% sure on either 1 or 2 series design TBH. The rear ends on both don't do them any favours...

    Manual S3 or RS3?

    If you want a fun car, and not a daily, don't bother with an Audi S3 or RS3. Fast, secure yes. Fun? No. I had a S3 saloon manual. The only positive for the manual, is it bring some interaction with the car. I enjoy changing gear, so I'll always pick a manual over n Auto. And fun doesn't mean it...

    Facelift S3 hunting under light acceleration

    So it's not fixed? Your dealer sound like they are wasting time and effort. I'd be demanding a new engine if I was you.

    Facelift S3 hunting under light acceleration

    Injectors is what was faulty with mine. Caused the piston to disintegrate. You could be looking at a new engine. If they refuse and say it's never happened before, let me know. I can give you some info to prove it's happened before

    Warranty Claim Rejected

    Glad you got it all sorted mate. Even if you are £250 out of pocket. But if that's what you would have had to pay anyway for the excess, then happy days. A lot of aggro and stress for you, but at least it all fixed now.

    Looking for o.e.m. 19" wheels, what name/partnumber?

    Set 1 for me. I personally think the original S3 alloys are one of Audi's best looking wheel designs. And it's not a wheel that is copied on every other car in the Audi range (apart from the SQ5) like the Rota's were.

    Audi extended warranty

    Main dealer only. I think that's what swung it TBH. Had only been serviced there 2 month previously.

    Selling car to a company..

    Main dealers won't be interested unless is was something special or rare. Usually they only want stock that's up to 5 years old. Dealer groups have sales guys who source cars from around the UK for group stock, and they come out to your home to inspect. I've done that twice. MK7 Golf GTI & Audi...

    Do it anyway. What have you got to lose?

    Facelift Police car "damaged" my S3

    I'd contact the police first. There must be something that states if they damage a member of the public's car during a police pursuit, you are able to make a claim. I assume if they were doing 90, they must have been with Blue lights on?

    Audi extended warranty

    No. Not now. Have done in the past though.

    Audi extended warranty

    Take out the warranty. My S3 was 3 months out of warranty, and the engine went POP ! Audi could have washed their hands as the car was out of warranty. Thankfully for me the gave me a brand new engine, but (because it was out of warranty) I had to pay my local dealer to fit it. With a warranty...

    Audi S3 8V Revo Performance Pack

    And if your car is a manual, going on other peoples experience, you'll need to upgrade your clutch too.

    Warranty Claim Rejected

    Have you always had the car serviced there? I would argue the it should be covered by the warranty, but if they insist it's not, I'd be asking nicely for Audi to be contributing to the cost as a good will gesture. At least 50%. You could say that you have been waiting for the new A3 to come out...
