I've just taken delivery of my new S3!
Happy to now be part of the club here, although I have some questions:
What engine oil do you all use?
I've read about carrying a spare fuel pump relay - can anyone tell me where to get one?
What products should you use to clean the vinyl interior?
Thanks in advance!

Opieoilman recommends an ester based 10w-50 oil such as Fuchs Titan Race Pro S, although it's not cheap at £54 for 5 litres! I imagine most on here use similar non-ester (cheaper) oils.
I found Ultra Clean from Furniture Clinic to be excellent for cleaning the interior leather and vinyl. Came up looking great!

S3 Fuel pump relay source anyone? Answers are a bit slow on here today
I know it's not the same as the S1, which is pink and getting hard to find......
By the way Alex, where are you located? You may wish to add yourself to the S owners map on here, also add to the S3 owners' list.
Cheers,
Glen

Ah, Winchester! I'm based in Winchester - have added myself to the map but not the list.
Off topic, but....We called in that lovely town, after a 4.5 hour drive from oop norf, parked in the town centre and were told it was free parking for 30 mins, only to collect a hefty parking penalty 15 mins after arrival. We found there was a sign further on, facing away from our parking spot that said you had to get the free ticket from a machine some distance away. Bds! A "fine" way to welcome visitors!
Sorry, rant over. But Goodwood Revival cheered us up!
Hi Alex
I can certainly recommend the cleaning kit from the furniture clinic - mine has a magnolia interior and it came up really well.

Depends where it is loose. If its the actual knob then this should be a case of screwing it back down, or tightening some grub screws, or if its a Sierra item re doing the fixing (I don't know how theose ones are fixed). If it is threaded then some threadlock, PTFE tape or a locking nut will stop it undoing in the future.
If it is the linkage that is loose then this is centre console out and fiddly fingers time to renew the linkage saddle.
If it is the whole thing dancing around as you power on then the gearbox mount needs changing.
