Default New member thinking of getting an S3

Hi all i thort id better introduce myself..

Im charlie im 19 from hampshire
Looking at getting an Audi S3 about a 2001-2003 plate

i currently have a bmw e46 sport and love it to peices but looking to change.
i would get it remapped and change the injectors if i get one.
Just a few questions..
What are any Common issues with the S3?
Anything Major i should look out for when buying one?
Whats the Handling like? (i could chuck my car around a corner at 60+mph and it would just grip) would it be the same to this/

Cheers
Charlie

Wilkommen to the forums.

If I'm not mistaken the '01-'03 S3 has a 1.8T? I suspect that it would have issues similar to our North American 1.8T. Either way, be sure to look around in the A4 B5 section as most of those guys have that same motor. Stock I think you may find it a bit weak, but a little bit of chip tuning and injectors should have you running right. Plenty more power modifications available if/when you have the funds and desire.

good luck with your search.
