    After a little favour... (2007 MMI related)

    Afternoon all, When I bought my car, it came with MMI (and a 2007 SatNav DVD) but no manual - it only came with the manual for a "Concert" stereo, so not a lot of use! :laugh: I'm managing to navigate my way around it (if you pardon the pun), but if any of you know where I can get a manual...

    Emission Control light on (S3)

    Picked the car up last night and it's as good as new. Cold start this morning was much smoother too. Fault code (for those interested) was P0304 - new injector was £120.79 plus VAT, so grand total was £280.79 plus VAT. Invoice has gone off to the dealer I bought from for him to sort with the...

    Emission Control light on (S3)

    Thanks :) I just want to be able to drive it to be honest - it's like being a child and getting a new toy but having your parents tell you that you're not allowed to take it out of the box!!! :laugh:

    Emission Control light on (S3)

    So, news from the garage... The car is reporting a misfire on cylinder 4. Garage has swapped the coil pack with cylinder 3 and that didn't help, so it's not the coil pack. They then swapped the spark plugs over with cylinder 3, and that didn't help, so it's not the spark plugs. Next option is...

    Emission Control light on (S3)

    Hope you get it sorted :) It was driving absolutely fine until the light flashed on & off a couple of times, at which point it became a little stuttery and hesitant. Obviously, as soon as I spotted the light, I eased off. Drove fine on the way back, but like you I was driving very very...

    Emission Control light on (S3)

    Thanks Chez :) I'm hoping it's something minor. Car has been otherwise fine so doubt it's anything too serious. I'm also hoping that while they've got it in, they'll have a look over it for any other potential issues that can be sorted whilst the warranty is still valid...

    Emission Control light on (S3)

    Cheers Chez. :) Don't want to take it back to where I got it from because it's so far away, but the warranty can be used locally. Will get them to give me all the fault codes. I assume this is something VW would be able to do? (Is VCDS the same as VAGCOM? I'm new to Audi, remember!) I've got a...

    Emission Control light on (S3)

    It's completely standard & has done 48,000 miles (it's a 57 plate). No idea re cam follower. Last service was at the independent garage where I bought it the week before I picked it up. Prior to that, it had always been serviced at Audi & had the cambelt done a few months ago at 44,000 miles...

    Emission Control light on (S3)

    Hi guys, Have only had my S3 for 2 weeks. All was fine for the first week, but I noticed on Friday morning that the car seemed a little lumpy on tickover when I started it - I put it down to it not having been used for a couple of days & having done a couple of short journeys (<10 miles) the...

    MMI - Bluetooth pairing & "On" volume

    Ah, bums. Fair enough. :) The manual for the "Concert" system has a method of doing it, but I don't have the manual for the MMI. Got a friend who works at an Audi specialist so might ask him if he knows anything...

    MMI - Bluetooth pairing & "On" volume

    Yeah, I've tried that. :( Tried turning it down before taking the key out Tried turning it down & then off before taking the key out Tried turning it down & then muting it taking the key out... Each time, when you get in again (or in the case of turning it off, turning it back on again), it...

    MMI - Bluetooth pairing & "On" volume

    Thanks batch :) Will try 0000 (0000, 1111 & 9999 were going to be my next attempts!). It's every time I put the key in the ignition - and it's so loud it makes me jump! :laugh:

    MMI - Bluetooth pairing & "On" volume

    Morning all, I picked up my shiny 8P S3 on Tuesday and need a bit of help with the MMI system please... Firstly, I can't seem to get it to pair to my iPhone. Turned ignition on, searched for devices on iPhone, found Audi UHV **** device, asks me for a pin, so put in the 4 digit number in the...

    Looking at buying a 57 plate S3

    Brill, thanks for your input :) Don't think this one has folding wing mirrors or cruise control, but if cruise is easy to retrofit, then that's not a big problem. I do like my music, so pleased that you seem to rate the BOSE :) Thanks guys :) x

    Hate people who can't open their doors properly!!!!

    :blink: Ouch! I always park as far away from the doors to the supermarket as possible, in the hope that no one will park near me. Usually works, although you do sometimes get the person who insists on parking right next to you even though you're the only car parked in a stretch of 20-30 bays. :uhm:

    Looking at buying a 57 plate S3

    That's about what I expected for the xenon to be honest. My Lupo had a xenon go, which cost me about £570 for the bulb & ballast, without labour. Long story short, my local dealership (now under different ownership) took 4 weeks to fix it after continually ordering the wrong parts. Ended up...

    Looking at buying a 57 plate S3

    Friend of mine works for an Audi specialist and said he thought it'd be about £400 for the cambelt / water pump. Obv that's on top of the normal service cost. Good to hear some positive feedback about the Bose - was disappointed when I read negative comments about it. Got cruise control on the...
