This is my Audi s3 2007 8p model
265bhp with 264 lbs in Sprint Blue
Miles are roughly 43,900
Exterior;
18" speedline alloys recently sprayed in matt saturn black, not one single kerb mark. Tyre's are Dunlop SP Sport Maxx with plenty tread. Aluminium finished wing mirrors.
MOT; 8th May 2014
TAX; 31st October 2014
Full Audi service history, also the haldex has been service, meaning oil and filter change which is a MUST on these cars. Cambelt was also done only a few months ago. There's a folder with paper work inside along with the original service book and manuals. Also spare key fob and brand new Audi leather key ring.
Modifications;
Matt finished Saturn black alloy wheels
Revo remap
The only fuel I use in this car is Vpower, not because I have to... It's just my choice. I've always used Vpower in my petrol and diesel cars. I normally have around 3/4 or a full tank, so it'll come with no less than half a tank for the new owner.
Optional extra's;
Recaro two tone Black and Charcoal leather interior (with heated front seats)
Bose speakers pack
6cd multi changer in glove box
RNS-E mp3, sat nav full colour screen display
Front + rear carpet mats to match interior
Rear parking sensors
Flat bottom Multi funcional steering wheel
Centre armrest
Cruise control
Bluetooth Telephone preparation in armrest for iPhone 4/4s
Standard toys are ESP, TC, EW, EM... Dimming mirror, automatic lights/windscreen wipers.
I'm the 4th owner of the car. I can't fault the car one bit, I've owned lots of cars and this one is at the top of my list for driving, comfort and gadgets.
£12,500 o.n.o

Thanks for the comment dude, yeah it's an older one but people seem to still watch it lol. I'm always honest with my cars, my last one being the Merc E-class you'll see it on my channel, I couldn't fault that as it was a lovely place to be and all round car

New they were roughly £32,000, I sold it for £13,000 back in July this year. Running wise there not very good on fuel, but there ok for the performance. My previous cars also on my channel, it was a VW Scirocco TDi that was awesome on fuel. Have a view you might like that also.

Very cool the S3 was one of my favs petrol turbocharged cars for the 2 liters segment. I think this is quite a missile and also 'coz is not very heavy I also seen the car very good shape in general If I still lived in the UK I'd have bought this car!
@CraigsChannel
@CraigsChannel 8 лет назад
+cerrystyle I wasn't really that impressed with the power, mine was roughly 300bhp with a remap, I think I need something with 500bhp to keep me happy lol. These cars aren't very light due to them having all the gadgets in them, but there not heavy so to speak. The car sold without even putting it for sale, my friend see it and said it's mine come get the money, and the rest is history haha

@CraigsChannel
@CraigsChannel 8 лет назад
+scott buckley Yeah it was a great car, the RS4 interior was an expensive optional extra so not many people got them fitted hence them being a lot more money with them in. There's not actually RS4 seats there just similar, the RS4 one hug you when yours in Sports mode. 12 hours of driving is a lot, you'd hate the RS4 seats there uncomfortable after a few hours

Now I have an A3 8p with 2.0tdi sline sport version which is a bit lowered, steering wheel has 3 arms and etc. I'm very pleased of how it feels to drive it but I want more power, heated seats and good sound system. That's why I want to get an S3, they are so beautiful

@@CraigsChannel yea 8v is defo not for my pocket 😅 in Poland S3 8p goes for about 40k PLN, more if it is modded which is about 8k pounds but avarage salary in Poland is about 3,5k PLN. With that salary I can only save about 1k a month so with my current job it would take me about 45 months to save for an S3 8p. Just saying so you have a view of the financial status of Polish people, having avarage Jobs, living alone, in university which I have to pay for monthly. Its not easy to get a nice car here 😐

One thing though. Get rid of the stock air intake! You'll thank me &, the rear seats are really for 2 ;) 1 thing though, the dash needles didn't do their full, right to left sweeps when you turned key, before starting?

What reg A5? They're both totally different cars, the s3 being a hot hatch which are super popular now. The A5 being a lovely cruising motor, my friend had the 3ltr TDi remapped and it was a really quick car. Both are going to be reliable! Is it this reg s3 you're looking for or the face lift? I believe the facelift is 58reg and above, they've got the white dials, newer lights and a few upgrades. Are you going to be using the car for long distance or short, i.e how many miles per year do you average? Either way both cars are a cracking choice, if you flick through my videos I've a few of my old cars, the Merc might be an option for you or Scirocco

Mr.Craig's Video Channel That's actually what brought me to your channel funnily enough, I'm after a Scirocco myself but anything German I'm interested in usually.
@CraigsChannel
@CraigsChannel 9 лет назад
The Aftermath Oh lol, yeah I've gained a few subs from the Scirocco, I've only just started doing videos around my cars because people asked and they said I speak the truth unlike other people who big up there car, if theres something I don't like I'll say it. I honestly can't fault the Scirocco I loved that car but wanted a change, to be honest I'd be happy with a Scirocco R but the thing thats putting me off is something with that power and FWD pretty much sucks... I don't understand why they never made it 4WD. What car you rolling in dude?
@ambassadorofpain1
@ambassadorofpain1 9 лет назад
Mr.Craig's Video Channel That's always appreciated, far too many people talking crap or plain lying about things on RU-vid sadly. I've not actually driven a FWD that powerful so I can't really comment on that, but the idea seems pretty mental, I imagine the cost of making it 4WD would be quite high. The R is already an expensive car brand new so maybe VW think it would make it too much, no idea really. I don't have anything exciting unfortunately, just your run of the mill Golf at the moment until I can find a nice Scirocco.
@CraigsChannel
@CraigsChannel 9 лет назад
The Aftermath mk4 or mk5? I'm a massive Golf fan, I've had a few mk4's maybe 4 or 5 in total lol, one of my old Golf mk limited edition 25th anniversary GTi's is on my channel something like 80,000 which shocked me, I never knew they were so popular. I'm liking the Golf R there 4WD so seems to suite me a bit more, but I'll wait and see what pops up for me to buy :-)

Lovely car, I'm going to buy one as a birthday present for myself. It's the only fast car that I can get insured on for a decent amount haha. I've heard mixed reviews about the REVO remap, did you notice a big difference or is it not worth getting done? Also how was the sat nav system? My first car that I'm driving at the moment is a 2006 Audi A3 2.0TDI so I don't mind things like the non electric seats as that's what I'm used to haha. Good video though mate, what have you got now?
@CraigsChannel
@CraigsChannel 9 лет назад
Only can you can get insured on, how old are you? Could you not add your mam/dad or somebody older as a named driver to your policy? I was paying £400 a year with 60 European insurance added in case I went abroad which was good. REVO are only good for a quick map, I didn't get the map it was the previous owner, if it was me I'd of went for a live map. There easily tuned to 360-370 with a few mods. Sat Nav was ok, nothing fancy but did the job and looked good. I'm looking for a car at the moment, was looking at Porsche Carrera 997 and Range Rover Sports, but I'll probably end up with an RS4 if all fails lol
@blackgordongekko444
@blackgordongekko444 9 лет назад
Mr.Craig's Video Channel I'm 20 with just over a years no claims bonus, 21 in January which is when I'm planning the purchase, insurance will be £2,000 which is maximum i'm happy to pay, and thats with my mum insured too haha. Yeah i've heard mixed reviews about the REVO maps, how much money you reckon would need to be pumped in to the car to make it achieve 360? As long as the Sat Nav shows where the speed cameras are so I don't lose my license I'll be alright haha. All the cars you're looking for are great drives, I look forward to when my insurance is reasonable so I can upgrade
@CraigsChannel
@CraigsChannel 9 лет назад
BlackGekko £2,000 is crazy but for the kind of car I guess its not to bad. You'd be looking a couple of grand for mods you'd need a filter, fuel pump, exhaust and maybes a intercooler they get it mapped. The sat nav didn''t show me any speed camera's so might be of no use to you? Just make sure its been fully serviced and had the haldex serviced

@CraigsChannel
@CraigsChannel 6 месяцев назад
You could try mole grips but with the PCV being in such an awkward position you might not get a grip. I bought a little tool kit for my drill if this ever happens, if basically drills the screw the opposite way to remove it. Had it happen a few times on air box screws. Another thing is if you have a dremel, use the little disc to cut the screw bang on the middle so you turn the screw into a flat head, then get your flathead screw driver out, if that makes sense

Great video. I want one so bad! I just have have couple doubts still.. First of all it needs 98 octane fuel. Which cost like 1,50€-1,7€ per liter in Finland. Second doubt is the notorious oil consumption problems, regarding the 2.0l TFSI. Third problems is that they are still pretty expensive here. These are almost 15 years old cars, driven over 200tkm, and still you cant get one under 12k€. Im currently driving A6 3.0tdi, which could be sold for 9-10k€ now. But i still dont know if i can afford the insurance, and yearly car tax of S3.
@CraigsChannel
@CraigsChannel 3 года назад
You can run them on 95ron but its recommended 97. I use 99 or 100ron on all my cars, even my mams, I think in the UK it's around £1.28 per litre! Insurance I believe was £320 fully comp, maybe in Finland you guys pay higher premiums? My friend bought this car from me 6 years ago and touch wood hasn't had any major issues, just wear and tear like tyres, bulbs etc... hes never mentioned use of any oil but think he only does 7,000 miles per year. They still are expensive yeah, good cars though. Is there no other cars that you like?
@johanneskoskela384
@johanneskoskela384 3 года назад
@@CraigsChannel I think S3 drops power when 95ron is used. Highest we have here is 98ron. You have cheap gas there, and really cheap insurance. I pay 1200€ a year for 3.0TDI... but for some reason the insurance is mostly based on engine size, instead of actual power! I checked and S3 would actually be cheaper, apart the fuel cost. (Diesel is 1,20-1,30€) Good for your friend! He doesnt drive it that much tho. I usually do 25000km-30000km for a year. I just had my audi remapped to 290hp/550nm, just to but a car fever at bay for a time. And it really chanced the whole car. It still is heavy, but that torgue moves it still pretty fast. But eventually i have to by new car, and my options are right now S3, B5 or B8 S4, BMW 330/335i or 330/335D. Only broblem with beemer is the AWD system. In northern finlands winter you just cant beat an quattro.
@CraigsChannel
@CraigsChannel 3 года назад
@@johanneskoskela384 In the UK insurance is more an age thing rather than car power or engine, if you're young is really really expensive, I'm 36 and been driving since I was 21 so insurance has dropped lots. I can only imagine the change a remap has done to your car, diesel have so much hidden power from the torque. I took my friends 435d to get remapped, the video of the cars on my channel, now that was a super fast diesel. Yeah AWD might be what you need if the weather is bad, maybe stick with the Quattro from an Audi! You can get BMW Xdrive but they come at a price!

@CraigsChannel

+freshweegal The 8p feels older to drive compared to the 8p, I've had 3 or 4 8l's. Don't get me wrong there both nice cars but the 8p wins overall. You get better mpg for a start in the 8p, I never thought the 1.8t did very good miles for your bucks, were as the 8p seems to let you get more with it's newer TSFi engine. If you do buy an 8p make sure you get as high spec as possible. I prefer the facelift version that came out on a 58reg (2008) which has the better headlights and stuff. And make sure it's full service history, the haldex is a must on these cars but you'll already know that owning one.

@CraigsChannel
@CraigsChannel 9 лет назад
Craig McKenzie Sorry for the late reply mate, for some reason I'm not getting notifications! I didn't remove the grill, I sprayed it on the car, just make sure you mask up around the area i.e bonnet, bumper and wings. A major thing is make sure you put something behind the grill, you don't want any dip getting on the radiator. I sold the car to a friend last year and see it daily, the grill looks just as good as the day I did it. Dip is really durable. I dipped my Range Rover Sport grill around 6 months ago and that still looks great... I'll be adding a video of my Rangie to my channel in the next few days fingers crossed if you want a look around it.

Its a 57plate 8p manual with a BCS turbo back and afew ARP trinkets thrown in by the previous v.a.g fan (i did want stronic but couldn't find a decent 3dr in my price range and didn't want to compromise on mileage on the clock) i run mainly on twisty undulating b roads so a short wheelbase haldex is great for my style and it sounds very stock on idle but spools up a treat. I've only just got back from my first 'serious run'. Its a very different animal compared to my 55 plate golf gt tdi 4 motion plod. The two things i want to do is get rid of the pcv for a forge delete version and map the haldex to be more like the merc a class amg system. I don't have the road width (or cash😂) to play with new m3's a c63's as they should be. I think from my description above you can guess what I'd go for and what I'd do if i had an rs4 under my right foot haha Autops are just down the road from me (the brains behind AMD years ago).

GTI M 7 Believe it or not I got it at a really good price 2 years ago, with the miles, full Audi service history, timing belt, remap and 4 new tyres, plus it only had 2 previous owners. If you look the 8p with low miles are still going for strong money. Its like the b7 RS4 there still holding £20k+ I'm always swapping and changing my cars so know what to pay and what not to pay lol

Nice down to earth chat about your car. I particularly like that you comment on that nasty smoker. Why the hell do they do it? Yuk!

No idea dude, people love wasting there money and health I guess! when you go in a smokers car its horrible, nasty smell. You'll probably like my Mercedes I just sold the other month, did a little walk round that, no nasty smokers where in that lol

A Mercedes as well? Now you are making me feel inadequate! When I buy cars, they smell ok until a while later, then they stink of B.O. I hope that my next car will be from a seller like you.

+Max Mc Just keep some deoderant in the car lol. or buy a Cali Scent they kill all kinds of smells. my friend car stunk of fish for weeks, got him a Cali scent and it went. I get bored of cars and change them quite often, only had the Merc a few months, hopefully I'll have a new car in a couple of weeks!

Thank's for the advice Craig, I'll go to Halford's and pick one up. I'll keep an eye out for your videos to see what you get up to. Since you change your cars often, there is a change in car tax next year which might suit you.

I'd never pay attention to a trip computer, I did get good mpg on motorways apart from that they aren't the best on mpg, the previous shape 8L are terrible on fuel, I've had 4 8L shapes and all were crap. Is yours mapped or standard

I used some peanut butter, worked really well. But it fades after like 1-2 months so your best off with something like engine dressing. I did find some stuff in a tiny little bottle that recolours all your plastic and lasts for a year+

8p shape? I sold this one around 7 years ago, my friend still owns it. They're a great car, not the best on fuel mind. Also since they're an older car now make sure it's been looked after with full service, the engines a few things need replaced like the cam follower, coil packs seem to go, few little things

@@CraigsChannel really appreciate your help I've had a mk 5 golf R32 I loved it but had to sell it to ray rent now things are different so it's an audi s3 or another R32 what you think ??
@CraigsChannel
@CraigsChannel Год назад
It's a tough one! R32 noise can't be beaten, but then again the tax on the 06 or above is bonkers now, I'm sure it's £600 a year. The mk4 R32 are going up in value daily, plus its hard to find a good one as many suffer from rust. S3 I'd probably go for, or even a mk5 Ed30 in red, same engine just de-tuned. Unless you really want 4wd?

any particular known issues with these models too keep an eye on and be mindful off? Or even exp maintenance items with servicing?
@CraigsChannel
@CraigsChannel 7 лет назад
Neso osen Like with any car make sure It's got full service history and receipts to prove this. Timing belt and water pump should have been changed by now. With it being 4wd the haldex oil needs changing every X amount of miles. Prop shafts can go depending on how its been driven. Apart from that there solid cars
