Such a shame looks like good cars not hanging around long. Search continues, fingers crossed.

L&K sounds lovely. Should be worth the trip 👍

Once you accept the offer the courtesy car will be expected to be returned or within 7 days of first use. It’s been a while can’t recall how it works. Makes it all the harder to find a replacement you really want rather than the first one you see. Such a pain when the accident was not even your fault. Hope it all works out for you

Start haggling ASAP as cars are holding value well, get a good agreement. Use auto trader adverts saved. Clear your possessions for people start helping themselves to an open cars contents. Maybe you would consider buying it back and having it repaired yourself. Maybe more hassle than you want, though. But you know the car well and mileage is low, a keeper ?

Are you pointing out your garage never serviced the rear drums. Back when I had 1997 golf TDI mk3 around 2001. The specialist I used made a point to say they serviced the rear drums when main dealer never went near them. I always knew they were done as the brakes were so much better for several months, then went back to being horrendous as this car was so front heavy being a TDI lump under the bonnet.

Plus one for the DSG stat. Cheap to buy and very easy to replace yourself. Loads of write ups on the forum including mine

All the best in Jaguar land. When you realise the error of your ways we will still be here 😜

One of my fronts went last year and despite me asking the warranty/insurance to replace both at 160k they said it would not be a safety issue replacing one. I believe it is quite common on Superbs especially the rears. Small piece of mine broke off rattled for a while and fell off.

Have you cracked open the bleed nipple and attached a tube to catch the emitted brake fluid once you start retracting the piston ?

Not done mine yet but does the auto hold handbrake affect wind back of the pistons. Just a thought if a different method is required?

Does this happen due to the incorrect oil usage @MicMacas one possibility ?

At what date was cambelt changed?

I always thought they were thermisto on my S2. They really look identical to me now. Well I hope this will open up the search for the OP if anyone looking for wheels for their car, either of the 2 types. Sorry for hijacking your thread.

These are Thermisto wheels, right ?

Sorry to hear this. Was this a standard/stock car ?

This thread might help @mdfabia1969

It was a matter of time before the DMF was needed. Done well to last this long. It is advised to do both clutch and flywheel at the same time. I don’t know how much it costs these days, maybe shop around, make sure it’s a decent brand Sachs, LUK type thing. Have the slave replaced at the same time. It’s outside the gearbox but I had issues with mine. Better the devil you know these cars go on for years. Mine is nearly on 260k! It’s the best car I ever owned also. If you think of selling let me know, lol

Nice motor, forgive them post hopefully help answer some questions I take it you have a heated windscreen I think I recognise the button if I zoom in, not sure if it’s an option like on Superbs? How many horses 140/170?

Sounds like a cover or casing type rattle

Reminds me of the similar thing in front of the drivers bulkhead DPF pressure sensor because I had one replaced on a TDI.

It’s all about the upsell in dealers now. All staff must have competitive targets against each other be it in the workshop or the service counter. I have seen a board in the workshop of a Seat dealer a few years back. League table of sorts.

Do you know when the change, year, to direct came in on the 280 @KeteCantek? I presume direct and port is favoured due to some form of inlet coaking up ?

As per the title is it worth searching for a used S3 with DCC. I have read it makes for a good drive. Can you alter characteristics sport and comfort mode ? Is it better to fit Koni Special active Shocks on standard springs instead, depending on cost? Have read the DCC cost of replacement is high. Would never have expected to have problems on say a 5-7 year old car with low to average miles. Believe DCC is standard on L&K spec so may have no choice as you get it anyway.
