Thought I would try make a more useful video on things to kinda know, common problems and my honest opinion on 2 year ownership on my s3.. something that would help you on buying an S3/ A3.

Not only interior but also exterior-wise I like this generation much better than the newest one. I also think this one is so much classier and elegant whereas the new model is shallowly posh for cheap showoff.

Very helpful, been looking at a1 black edition 185bhp, and the s3’s. I don’t have massive budget though, approx £10k do you think it’s worth looking at these for that figure, most obv have over 100k miles on the s3’s. 👍🏻

Just be warry of the valve issues these engines have.. but the usually break at around 150k km...if your lucky when the valve breaks you will only have to replace the head.. but if it damages the clynder or the piston.. well you will need a new engine then.. i just bought one with this issue and all mechanics i talked to said the same.. it is bound to happen...

Hi maybe a strange question but I've never drove a automatic before I'm getting a 2014 model same shape as this, but I'm wondering about hill starts obviously you put ya foot on the break to stop is it just a case of taking ya foot of the break and putting the gas on to set off on a steep hill?? And do ya have to be quick on the gas after taking ya foot of the break? Another strange question maybey but I'm dumb wen it comes to semi autos could you stall it if you didn't put the foot on the gas quick enough after setting off?? Thanks for any info 🤦‍♂️😂

Thanks for that info I've been propper wary of getting one but I'm just in the middle of getting one should be in a few days, someone said toe a while ago that they thought ya could still stall one which I thought was strange, so you mention about mapping the dsg box on it does that gain any extra bhp or is it just for better/ or more aggressive gear changes il probably get a stage one map on it as soon as I get it but not sure wat other mods il end up getting, what was the mileage on this s3 that you've gt there? Would it be stupid to go for one with 70 odd thousand miles, that has full audi service history? There still holding the price well these it's around 16 bags the one I've been looking at suppose to be getting it by Friday but I am still looking in the mean time for one with maybey a few less miles, it looks immaculate the one I've been looking at tho thanks for the reply too subbed 👍

@@magicalmaster4194 no problem dude! And yeah man go for it! I mean 70k miles is a fair amount especially for that money I’m not gonna lie haha but it depends what you want out of it you into more the performance and having fun or more the luxury and spec? The dsg makes the gear changes sharper to keep up with power the engine is producing if you map it :)

I mean I’ll be honest I don’t usually know for prices for the S3 joe as the market is always going up and down… I’d aim for mileage around 40k is a safe number you tend not to have issues around that number… check out my common issue video I made on it that’s what u need to look out for on them :) and there are loads of tuners for S3 ✌️ loads in London I’d recommend or down south which is where I usually go

If you are going to buy one of these, I would make sure you get up to 66 or 17 plate and check that the petrol particulate filter is defo not fitted. I’ve got a 66 plate in Vegas Yellow and I love it. But those horrible petrol filters killed the exhaust sound.
