Steve Q

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂

It'll need a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Are there any other electrical gremlins? I ask because if there are this could be a low battery that's the cause.

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 looks a lovely s3

I'd recommend getting matching shock absorbers too.

Glad you've found it, please keep us posted on how you get on

I think that'd be your best bet. Putting a cambelt on it won't help in my opinion and could do further damage. They removed the 5 year rule a few years ago which I think is ridiculous. Also £1k for a cambelt is very expensive too.

Sorry to hear of your situation, it's appalling that Audi remove the time marker off the cambelt changes which used to be 5 years. The way I'd look at this, you pay £1k to Audi for them to fit a cambelt and then tell you it's worse than just a cambelt. Or you spend that money on having the engine stripped to confirm it's the valves. Audis response is disgraceful but not surprising

Very informative Steve. Besides your sound advice, I think most people don't realise that tampering with the emissions systems is also illegal and voids insurance

It might be under the front passenger seat or one if the boot side panels.

You will have to fit it to the new grill. Ideally in the same position as the old one.

Could well be the antenna. I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up and confirm it.

Glad you got confirmation regarding insurance. I'm genuinely surprised there aren't any that'll fit.

It might be worth checking to see your insurance view on side steps as a lot of insurance companies see them as a mod and won't cover them.

If bought from a dealer in the last 30 days get this back to this asap as it the dealer should fix this free of charge. It'll need a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Worse case scenario it'll be the megatronics unit that's failed

Thanks Cliff very informative 🙂

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 I do love the d3. Cracking engine note on the V10. Hope it proves to be a lovely car.

Check buyers guides on YouTube. Service history is key. Make sure there's proof of gearbox oil services etc and all electrical items work.

As well as Steve's sound advice id also recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up

Have you had the door card off to have a look? Is the speaker working ok?

Looks great 🙂

Looks good 😊

Water ingress is proving an increasing problem. Check the service history of the car you're looking at. It might be due auto gearbox oil service etc.
