Thinking about getting a res delete on my S3. Iv seen some say it’s not very noticeable, if you have a res delete was it worth it and do you notice the difference.
If you have sound clips drop them below ⬇️.
Im looking to buy this s3 for the winter, but i just relized that it does not have paddle shifters which is really strange imo. Is it possible to retrofit it to the existing wheel or do i have to change out the whole wheel with one that has paddle shifters? also any thoughts on a audi s3 2017 facelift what to look out for? the car has 150k km on the clock which is high but im buying it to commute 200 kms everyday so it would rack up miles either way. the timing chain has been changed at 137000 km by audi and the oil has been changed regularly.
I know this questions has been asked probably a million times by know by why not add 1 more
I am looking at getting an Intake and going ECU Stage 1 on my 2022 S3, I have been looking into Integrated Engineering for both. I don’t want to go to crazy with the tune and want to be on the safe side of it while adding marginal power.
What intake/ECU tune did everyone go with?
Thanks everyone!
Long story short, lowered car and now fenders are cutting into tire.
Rolling the fenders seems the clear winner in terms of cost effectiveness. Just concerned it will look weird. Has anyone done this and how does it look?
Option B is getting wheels with better clearance, though that’s a lot of money.
So, what’s the best way to fix problem of tires rubbing after lowering car?
A. Roll fenders = ~$250
B. New wheels and tires = ~$3000
C. Third option? Fix the suspension somehow? IDK.
- I plan on getting the fenders rolled professionally as I read it's a little difficult on the S3.
I got a new 8V a few weeks ago and I’ve got a couple questions
To clarify this is while I’m driving, it always seems to go into the highest gear.

Thanks!
My S3 is a stage 3 running E85 and I just needed some help with the spark plug gap.
Recently acquired a beautiful 2017 S3. Absolutely delighted with it. The thing is crackin. Now it came with some rubbish tyres and I want to give them a proper upgrade. Split between the Michelin PS4 and Pirelli PZ5s but open to suggestions!
Just got the 2024 s3 prestige. Such a blast driving this. I don’t know how I’ll be able to drive in anything except dynamic mode.
This is the first nice car I’ve ever had in my life ! Just came from driving a 2019 VW Jetta base model. So apparently in my state (and maybe more places now) everyone wants SUVs… so Audi dealers by me are barely stocking s3s or selling them. I was just curious how low I could get one for.. told myself if I got a certain price I’d pull the trigger. I’m in love man !! I got Black with Black Optics and S Sport packages
So I had my tuned 2020 S3 for 5 years but have been trying to get an RS series for the last two years and finally found this 2018 RS5 with 22k miles on it plus this dealer specializes in tuned cars so they wanted my S3.
Gonna miss Bleu, but am in love with this new toy.
For little over 2 years this 2024 S3 has been my do-it-all car and I’m still smiling. It’s finished in Navarra Blue over Gray with the carbon add-on.
Hello all, wasn’t sure if I should post this in the S3 or Audi community. I’ve been in a new 2026 A3 for nearly a year now. Love the car and size. Wondering if it’s possible to purchase OEM S3 exhaust and rear diffuser to give it a bit more aggressive look and sound. Wasn’t in market for the S3 yet, since it’s my first Audi, maybe in a couple of years I will sell to upgrade.
Has anyone done this in the community and is it possible?
