If my memory serves me right, the engine is still the same with some differences. So I’m thinking technically the same preventative maintenance should apply to 8V too. Or is that not quite right?

What sort of preventative maintenance do you mean?
 
Don't hammer it from cold
Don't switch off straight away after lots of enthusiastic driving
Adhere to servicing schedules

That's about it, isn't it?

Stupid question, would this also be something A3 owners should take note of?
I think it applies only to S3 but I might be wrong. Hence my question about its relevance to the 8V model
 
Well I stumbled across this thread from the 8P forum https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/preventative-maintenance-audi-s3-bhz-cdl.341180/

It is really well written. And I am wondering if any of those also apply to the 8V?

Coming from an e46 M3 where preventative maintenance became a force of habit. I know the 8V is much newer but better to be safe than sorry .

Given most people change their cars every 2-3 years, all that preventative maintenance is all unnecessary
