Thanks Niko, the brakes are fine, looks like it was the ARB joints!

Thanks for the replies. Strangely I jacked the car up to look underneath, saw nothing unusual and lowered the car back down. When i got in the car and reversed off my drive i heard a loud 'boing'. Since then the noise has gone! Remarkably it seems that something had popped out and has now popped bac...

My S3 has covered 17,000 miles and has suddenly developed a clonking noise at the rear. At first i thought something was loose in the boot but it seems the noise is either rear suspension or exhaust related. The sound is like metal hitting metal and quite deep. It happens when weight is transferred ...

My 2003 S3 has just hit 17,000 miles. It has the variable service indicator and is now due its first service.

I just called to find the price and was told £240 by one dealer and £310 by the other. Considering only oil and filters are changed isn't this a bit steep!?

My car has Bose and the Chrous II fitted with cassette [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] but with 6CD in the boot. I thought of changing up to the Symphony single CD unit. Wonderedif this will improve the audio?

Hi Ross,

I would prefer to go the whole hog and fit satnav too. I am pretty handy with electronics but I recknon its quite a job. Also not cheap even if you get the navigation plus second hand.

My car has Bose but only the Chorus Cassette/Tuner with 6CD in the boot. I'm considering a retrofit of the In dash 6xCD for convenience and also if the sound quality/tuner is higher quality. Is it a straightforward unplug and plugin job or more complicated? I presume I will lose my cup holder and th...

I mentioned this in another post but i'm still unsure about it. My newly acquired S3 has Bose fitted. the sound is great but there is hardly any audio coming fromt the front door tweeters. The Fader is set to the centre and the lower door speakers and all rear speaker are fine. To get (in my opinion...

I just bought a couple of litres of oil for my 2002 S3 from my local Audi dealer.

The invoice states:

"Description - Longlife"

"Part Number - ZGB000503011 WAS ZGB115CLB00300

The oil is Castrol but I don't have it to hand to check the exact name/number.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for all the replies. Looks like i'll change brand of tyres when they need changing.

The only unanswered question is about the wing wirror glass. Are they all completely flat are are some rounded at the edge to give an increased view angle?

Hi all, I asked lots of questions here several months ago and finally have just got my S3. Wonderful car it is too. Spec is: 2002 225 BHP Silver with Black Leather BOSE & 6CD Sunroof Heated Seats Aluminium Mirrors Arm Rest The car looks and drives great. I have a few questions. The car runs on 17 in...

Thanks for the quick reply. The car has the sub unit in the boot as well as 'BOSE' on the dispay so it must be the real thing. Ive also just asked the owner about the airbag switch which he has confirmed is fitted. Looks like I might an S3 owner soon! On a more adventurous note can Sat Nav Plus be r...

Hi all, I'm close to buying a 2002 S3. One thing is confusing me though. All the cars I have looked at with Bose have 'BOSE' printed on the door speakers in the front. The car I want to but doesn't! When you turn on the Radio it does say BOSE on the display. I hope this is just a trim problem on the...

Any particular age/price you were looking at? [img]images/graemlins/033102bigblink_1_prv.gif[/img]

Thanks, your car looks v.nice, but its out of my price range i'm afraid. Out of interest is the carbon fibre real and is it a factory option?
