Hey all,
I've just recently joined (have already introduced myself on the welcoming thread), after just purchased a 2007 S3 8P and I have a few questions, which I would like your thoughts on.
First question is when I start the engine, and especially when I lift the hood, the engine sounds like a diesel and is pretty loud, I bought it from an Audi Specialist, so can't imagine it to be a cause for concern (especially since I still have warranty) but wanted to know if this is as expected. I wasn't sure as I've not had a four-cylinder turbo before.
Secondly, where can I get some genuine Audi parts and accessories at less than dealership prices? Not looking for anything large at the moment (although could do with a new door arm rest as there is a split/cut in it at the moment).
Finally, did S3's come with the storage compartment under the passenger seat (I have one under the drivers) and first aid kit? I do some driving on the continent and so am looking to get a first aid kit from Audi, that hopefully fits into the storage compartment (assume that's where it's kept normally?).
That's all I have for now! Thanks!
