Hello Dave, Changed the temperature sender unit at weekend, problem solved! Thanks for your advice, No other faults found on diagnostics. Bit concerned about mine, getting its 2nd wind at 5K, you get a real noticeable shove that low in the revs!? Any suggestions as to getting this checked out? I don...

Mine is a 2000, totally standard with 40,000miles. Up until this point its been faultless. It seems to run absolutely fine, although occassionally it will slightly miss when you first start it up?! One other thing I've noticed, at high revs,say 5,000 the engine gives a noticeable kick & really takes...

Thanks for your help Dave, I'll try it out later. Has this happened to your S3 then?

Hello All,

My temp gauge has just developed a mind of its own!? It now moves up to the middle of the gauge as normal, but then goes back down to zero as and when it feels like, continuing to yo-yo until you restart. During this time the car runs fine. Any ideas???

Thanks

Thanks very much for your help, I'll check out the handbook.

Thanks

Hello James, I've just bought an S3, and although I am by no means an expert on the car. I thought I'd let you know you what I found out doing my research and test drives. Firstly you cannot get a 225bhp engine on the 2000 model. This was only available at the end of the cars production life, I thin...

Thanks to eveyone whose left advice, I think I'll leave them as they are!

Hello All, I've just registered with RS246, after a friend recommended it. I've recently got myself a fantastic S3 ! Its a 1 owner from new car and the previous owner has looked after it so well. The car is a 2000 so is pre face lift. Does any one know if you can simply change the lights over to the...

Just been reading the comments on the heated seats, I've an S3 without them, around this time of year you do starting thinking "I really should have gone for the heated seat option" So is it true can we go for it simply by getting the loom and switches? How can we tell if the seats just need connect...
