  1. Hi Ray I’m in a similar boat although I’ve not remapped my engine. Audi said the same on both cambelt and gearbox and I’ve had a local garage say the same on the gearbox. I’m going to change the belt at the 100000 mark. Having remaped the car would probably mean you reconsider the service Intervals. I’m finding it’s an expensive car to run. Cambelt is not a DIY job due to specialist tooling and my clutch pack is on the way out at 80000. Over £2500 to replace at a local specialist. Still it’s a lovely car to drive.
  2. Yes, I was slow in both cars and no noise. The VW is a polo but that is an electric hydraulic pump so is a different system to the S3/A3. I'm out in the S3 tomorrow so can check when its cold, but I've never noticed anything and I usually notice anything untoward.
  3. Hi - We also have an 2019 A3. I've just checked both cars and no noise comes on full lock steering at slow speed. Apologies as it looks like the steering is an electro mechanical one, so no hydraulics with bypass involved. Some cars have an hydraulic electric pump which make the humming noise. I'll get back in my box.
  4. On full lock it will need a bypass system and the humming noise may well be the bypass in operation. Our VW has an electric PS pump and it does make a noise on full lock.
