  1. Hi Gareth, Thanks for your reply. I have the service history, which is all up to date, so just wanted to check what to do from here on in. The oil is still lovely and honey like, despite it being serviced about 3000 miles ago before we got it. Annual mileage for us would be c. 5000'ish. What is this "inspection interval" ? Thanks

  3. Hi guys, What are the service intervals for the 2017 A3 8V Petrol? Also, on the dash it gives you a "service due" and also another "inspection"? Whats the difference between the two and what are the service intervals? Also, are all the service records digital, so you dont need a service book, or should these cars come with a service book? Thanks.
  4. FOR SALE IS A PAIR OF SIDE SKIRTS FOR AN AUDI A3/S3/S-LINE. I BOUGHT THESE TO PUT ONTO OUR SALOON A3 BUT AFTER ASKING MY BODY SHOP MAN ABOUT THEM HE SAID THE SALOON ONES ARE EVER SO SLIGHTLY LONGER, SO I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING FURTHER WITH THEM. SELLING BOTH SIDES TOGETHER, SO DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SIDE. MAY SPLIT IF ENOUGH INTEREST. ORIGINALLY OFF A 2015 S3 SPORTBACK, BUT I AM LED TO BELIEVE THESE WILL FIT FROM 2013-2020, BUT PLEASE DO YOUR OWN CHECKS. SKIRTS HAVE SOME DIRT ENGRAINED INTO THEM, THEY NEED A PROPER CLEAN AND ALSO PERHAPS A CLAYBAR TO REMOVE SOME OF THE MUCK, I'VE JUST GIVEN THEM A QUICK JET WASH. ONE SKIRT HAS A GRAZE DOWN THE BOTTOM, THE OTHER HAS A VERY SMALL DINK. IF YOU ARE REPAINTING THESE A DIFFERENT COLOUR THEN NEITHER OF THESE ISSUES IS A PROBLEM BUT PLEASE SEE PICTURES FOR WHAT I HAVE MENTIONED. OTHERWISE THEY ARE GOOD AND THERE IS NO ACTUAL BREAKS OR DAMAGE. THEY ARE IN A LOVELY BLUE/PURPLEY COLOUR. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ORIGINAL S3 COLOUR. NO CLIPS OR FIXINGS INCLUDED, WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET, JUST THE PAIR OF SKIRTS. £115 ONO (collection Birmingham).

  6. Sadly no. I've part ex'd them with another set, ironically a set I dont need so they may appear here.
  7. Absolutely yes, I have learned to ignore it as it does just look like water. Car does short journeys mainly so as you say, hopefully just vapour and nothing to worry about. Thank you.
  8. Hi all, I've been noticing a really odd water drip when we reverse the A3 onto the drive, its just leaves a small trail. It did it again at the weekend and I go underneath an noticed water leaking from the exhaust, but there was nothing leaking above it and the exhaust isnt rusty or blowing, so no wear/tear holes. I did a quick google search and it transpires this is quite common, however is this normal? I've never seen this before so I am "baffled", pardon the exhaust pun. Have you guys also got this? Is it normal? Should I be concerned or remediate some way? Thanks.

  10. Added a genuine S3 Lip Spoiler to the boot lid. I love it. Such a small, subtle mod but makes so much difference. Next will be rear window tints. Just to smoke them out a little.
  11. Changed over from the winter wheels to the summer ones and decided I fancied an upgrade at the same time, managed to get my hands on a set of 2021 S-Line wheels which I love the look of. Makes the car look that little bit fresher and newer I think. I had black 17s on for winter, not a fan of black wheels usually but for winter they were sufficient. Comments welcome...
  12. I think mine are standard LED.
  13. I don't think they do....
  14. AH, I see, to its just a cover. I guess they just use a universal bumper then.
  15. I think I have a leaking washer fluid bottle. I can fill to around half way, then I start to get a leak. Has anybody replaced on and my question is, can I replace it without removing the bumper? I think one nut is at the front but I think I can get my ratchet onto it, just. I can get to most of it from under the arch liner, but before I go an buy one and then attack, just after some guidance. Thanks.
  16. Hi guys, Looking at the below, I assume my car has headlight washers? How on earth do they work and what function do I use to activate them? Or, are these just a cover? Thanks.
  17. Any recommendations for replacements? Want a standard factory look and finish
  18. Hi all, Our A3 has got pitted/corroded looking tail pipes, what's the best way to spruce these up and give them back the chrome look and add some life back into them? Thanks.
  19. I have been looking at these spoilers on AliExpress. Interested to see if anyone has fitted them and the quality and fitment of them? Here are the ones I am considering, I would either leave as carbon finish or buy the ones that needs painting and colour code. Link 1 Link 2 Link 3 Link 4 Thanks.
  20. Anyone got a saloon rear boot lip spoiler for sale? Thanks.
  21. Hi, I am after either a single part work Pirelli Powergy 225/40/18, or a matching pair of other brand tyres, same 225/40/18. Let me know what you have please, if anything. Thanks.
  22. £50. Wish I had gone to him first instead wasting hundreds on the whole suspension. Oh well, lesson learned.
  23. Absolutely agree, I've known Steve for years at this garage but never used him but always recommended him to others. If anyone needs some services in North Birmingham, give Steve a call at Fast Track, he is on about a 1.5 week lead time for bookings though.
