facelift

Hi there, Im struggling on the decision on if I should get an s3 or not. The issue I have is firstly insurance as I'm a young driver comes out to roughly 4K for the year but I'm sure with a bit more looking around I can lower it a bit. But secondly my other issue is that I know the golf r is...

I see people online doing pre facelift to facelift conversions. doesn't this cost a lot of money? what would you need to do it? Bumper Wings Bonnet Lights? coding needed? will the panels fit the old car easily ? just wondering anyway quite like my pre facelift

There's a growing number of reports from users with traction control issues on this board (see links below), so I thought it might be a good idea to collate these experiences and see if we can narrow down the root causes. It'd be nice to see if theres any link between issues and the haldex...

So I'm having a bit of a frustrating experience getting decent quotes on insurance for the FL S3. I've got a friend with the pre-FL model and was initially using his reg for quotes, turns out that the difference in quotes between that and the new one is £700?! That's £70 per extra horse which...

OK so I've been driving a 2004 A3 2.0 TFSI for last few years. Whose power I love. My new S3 is obviously 110 bhp quicker and 2.6s faster to 60mph. So quite a bump. After researching , this kind of speed it's equivalent to the bmw 135i and some older M3/M5 (0-60 seems to average at 4.5/4.6s...

So I saw a youtube video review of the s3 facelift The guy had an auto and had it in dynamic mode and there was this 1 second lag with the gear shift. It was totally intentional as the audi engineers confirmed it. The reviewer found that if you left it in comfort mode this lag isn't present...

Hello dear fellows, I'll go directly to the question Which DSG will the facelift A3 1.4TFSI or COD will have? will they keep the DQ200 7 speed dry clutch or will they trickle down the new 7 speed wet clutch from the new A4? I couldn't find the answer on the web, hopefully you will help me...

So I'm looking around for insurance for my impending S3 saloon, and most insurers are failing to provide a quote, some even insisting on a black box (never going to happen). The handful that will insure me are looking at £775 upwards, and I've never even heard of them. I'm 33 with 10+ years no...

Hi there, I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I'm new to the forum, following recently ordering a FLS3 sportback. I got a great deal! But unfortunately wasn't able to add parking sensors due to it being an offer. I wasn't bothered at the time, but after some thinking time... It's...

Hi Guy's, I want to delete the centre box on my 2016 S7 and replace with a stainless steel X-Pipe. Can anyone recommend an exhaust fabricator in either Berkshire or Hampshire that they have used and had a quality job from, and who could undertake this work? Im aware of the likes of Longlife...

Hi Guys, I'm new to the forum and new to Audi, and look forward to joining the forum. I have just ordered an S3 saloon, delivery due mid to late April. Apologies if this creates a duplicate thread, but I've seen rumours circulating of a an A3/S3 facelift being released towards the end of this...

Ok so I'm in the process of completing my order for an A3 (although I'm hearing the S3 is a lot better) anyway I've specced it all up and was told I'd get delivery by April. Then I see rumours online that there's a facelift coming out this year. So now I'm in a dilemma, do I go ahead with this...
