Hi everyone just an Audi loving guy who's looking to buy a S3 seen a 2015 really good one with 50k with a manual transmission so hopefully skipped that problem but just a bit skeptical about going for a S3 as my current A3 was kinda problematic but I can't deviate from Audi so just doing my research and joined this forum to hopefully gain some insight so if anyone has a 2015 S3 Manual Petrol let me know how it's treated you I'll be glad to hear from you because I've fell for it and don't want any other one (mainly because of its perfect MOT history - only advisories for tyres)

I really liked your shape not really fond of the 5 doors would rather have the 4 door but I'm sticking to the 3 door as its not going to be used as a family car but do love the 4 door maybe one day if I need to probably RS4 my next after my S3

I bought mine new in 2015, so it’s been almost 11 years.

👌Thats exactly what you want from your car..reliability 💪 I've put my deposit down on one so just waiting game now. I did have a look at a few identical models and searched up everyone's mot history and I was very surprised to find that model to pass its Mot everytime with the odd advisories for tyres that's all this was one of the main reasons I wanted to buy this model rather than the newer ones and I heard somewhere on YouTube it's as good as a RS4 when mapped out so that's saying something right about this beast 😀

Just looking for some pointers I've already been told to get the Ghost Immobiliser and Disklok 😂 is there any particular maintenance tips to keep her healthy from your opinion

And she is here…



Picked up on Tuesday from Audi Leeds with 11 delivery miles and hit the road to Scotland to get the boat back to Ireland.

Spend all day yesterday puttering around. Good wash and got the front door windows tinted.

I couldn’t be happier with it.

Hi Everyone,
I am Markus. I live in Perth Australia and drive an 2016 Audi RS3. I use it as a daily driver and have 125,000Km on the clock. I bought the car in 2019 with 28,000Km. I had a bearing failure at 55,000Km and had to buy a new Transfer case (Bevelbox). The same happened again with 123,000Km. I tried to repair my bevelbox, but this bearing and the two needle bearings for the shaft are not available to buy. The manufacturer SKF is only allowed to sell this bearing to the bevelbox manufacturer Brog Warner or Audi. There are also two lip seals not available. So I had to buy another new bevel box. Not happy at all. But love my car. So much fun to drive.
