Most reasonable buyers accept that there will always be issues with used cars but if dealt with by the seller in a timely manner with communication then they are happy. ( Exactly what you do Calvin which is why you are successful and a great guy).

I've got the same S3 saloon but manual and standard. I've changed the thermostat coupling and water pump as they are common to go on these. The hatches came with 18's and the Saloon with 19's and on the pfl saloons there are usually 2 different styles of 19's, the wingarms which I have on mine and the ones that look like the 18's on the hatches (I think they are a lighter wheel)

I bet that rattle is that the rear engine cover, I had that same noise on my old bmw, only heard it when it was stationery or on reverse stragley enough but yeah... defiantly on my car it was the rear engine cover, as you slotted the main engine cover into the rubber grips in the rear one use to put the rear cover away as there was a bolt missing that held it down so just use to vibrate all the time then

My used S3 was amazing but after 2 years I had possible water pump issue on its way. Common faults are air con condenser damage from not replacing dryer cartridge, Haldex issues, water pumps, timing chain stretching, mag ride suspension issues and also know of a 2016 S3 which had a rear diff seize while being driven. Audi quoted £7000 to fix. Audi dealers don't like taking cars over 3 years old as one put it "year 5 is problem time". Golf R has similar issues as the cars are pretty much the same. Used / trade in prices drop off a cliff after 5 years as well.

I had a very similar problem. Bought a car from a Motor Trader 2 hours away. After two weeks the car made a rattling sound. I went to a garage and they said the water pump needs replacing. However, the garage said they can't replace the water pump as a special tool is needed. I asked another garage, they said the same thing. I called the dealership and they quoted me £700. I called the motor trader I bought car from, they said to bring the car back to them. Thought to myself if there's another problem I will have to do the 2 hour journey. So I asked for refund and the motor trader accepted.

I’ve bought a BMW e46 from this place in September, had the car for a month and the engine had major oil leaks in the engine, to solve the issue it would of cost more to repair or replace the engine than what I’ve bought the car for, had to sell the car for scrap value. Very unfortunate as this dealership operate with auction terms which meant there was no way I could do anything about this issue. It was one of my dreams cars too!
