Steve Q Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Well done for saving this S3. I'd recommend you looking at eBay for the catches. Any A3 8l ones should fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Q Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Doing a great job so far. Have a look to see if carpets are wet as Audi's of this era had a computer on the passenger floor called a CCM. If it gets wet it can cause electrical gremlins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
