Hmm, well I took the part numbers from another forum and were genuine. My best advice would be to order them from Audi or just look for rear s3 diffusers on eBay as not all sellers know the part numbers. 

Cheers

Steve 

Im looking at eBay can see few waiting for seller to come back to me if it fits

Well the part numbers I'v provided are for genuine Audi parts and I'd say they'd be the best for got and finish in my opinion. 

Fitting wise, the lower valance (painted bit) should just unclip from the upper part of the bumper and the grey part should clip in also. 

Cheers

Hi Patrick, I think.it depends on which diffuser you get. 

The pre facelift s3 had a one piece valance where's the facelift valance came in 2 pieces. This therefore affects the fitment of the diffuser. 

As yours is a facelift I believe you need 2 parts which are: 

8p3 807 434 G the grey bit

8p4 807 521K the painted bit

To make it easier I'v attached 2 pics. The first one shows the diffuser on the s line. You can see the great piece at the bottom of the bumper and around the exhaust. And the painted piece is the lower part where the line on the bumper is. Hope that makes sense.

The second pic shows the painted part with out the grey piece attached. I got the pics off another site. 

Hope I'v helped :) 

Cheers

Hi, had my egr replaced by audi, after 2 weeks I noticed when dpf does regen fan running etc smells like burning plastic which is normal but also see smoke behind engine where turbo is when ever I accelerate in neutral, Went back to audi they changed the clamp on egr now does it again! Have a look and other video makes strange sucking air sound

Hi All. I'm new to this forum so please accept my apologies if forum etiquette isn't followed. I have a 2012 A3 Sportback 1.8 TFSI SLine Black Edition. I have the standard Audi concert system but I have noticed there is a nice Sat Nav media unit that you get in an S3. I was wondering whether I can install one in my A3, and if so, where can I get one from? Many thanks in advance.

Interior led will work just fine , same as puddle lights 

Interior comfort module its not as sensitive and will not show dash errors, only on vcds scan sometimes 

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172233982181

Reg led should work as well 

Its the central electrics module that controls exterior lights that causes led to hyperflash and dash errors 

 

I have bought this kit all works fine just hope will not come up with some error later lol also what does footwell lights mean I dont have them the ad you send me also door courtssy lights ? 

Recently has resprayed door as Someone scratched it they forgot to put screws back nearly lost the door skirt can I use any or does it need to be genuine audi?

Oh no! Not again! Let's hope it's something small. When I was heading to Audi's in the park in June I got something wrapped round the fan on the way and had to stop as the noise was crazy! Thankfully I could remove the fabric strap at the roadside with my brothers help. 

Going to audi wirh rac behind me he said one pipe that goes to dpf sensor is to short and smoke from there ?  As the pipe shld go back to dpf but is not

These mods sounds great! :) 

With regard to the led bulbs you may find d your a3 might not accept them without the ecu being tweeked. Also with the new Android head unit, your steering wheel controls may not work if you have them. 

Cheers

Steve 

Really ??? Was looking at led units on eBay so they wont work ? Its plug and play? And interior dont no which bulbs are needed yet
