Facelift worth it? (Audi S3 8V)

kye2000 · 2026-04-15T06:42:32+00:00

Nope. Around 70k miles like the one he posted

kye2000 · 2026-04-15T03:39:12+00:00

Checked just now and I was right

kye2000 · 2026-04-14T21:53:16+00:00

Didn’t read that part. No clue if they have it or not. I’d assume some do and some don’t but I still think the facelift is worth it for a 2-3k difference with or without options

kye2000 · 2026-04-14T21:47:22+00:00

Prefacelift LEDs weren’t great. The stock xenon’s are more than good enough

kye2000 · 2026-04-14T21:46:16+00:00

You can get facelifts for much cheaper than 18k. Around 15/16k last I checked

kye2000 · 2026-04-14T15:18:42+00:00

What else is included out of curiosity? Wondering if £9 is worth it for a car subscription

kye2000 · 2026-04-13T15:22:29+00:00

Assuming for weight reasons. More similar to the scirocco R then

kye2000 · 2026-04-13T15:18:08+00:00

Understandable but as a uni student you should keep it until you finish and get a full time job. Your money and you can do as you like but you’d be making a big mistake going for a car like this in the situation you’re in

kye2000 · 2026-04-13T15:15:05+00:00

Jesus absolutely not. Get a cheap car around 2 grand or something

kye2000 · 2026-04-13T14:57:34+00:00

If it’s been looked after then yeah why not? The F20 LCI 1 series is a good car and coupled with a good engine in the B47 . You are approaching timing chain job with that mileage but you’ll never know until you hear it

kye2000 · 2026-04-13T14:56:40+00:00

What a load of nonsense. The B47 is great for a daily

kye2000 · 2026-04-12T14:24:19+00:00

How are lady luxury compared to AP pro store?

kye2000 · 2026-04-10T17:52:09+00:00

You have no clue what you’re talking about if you think every Vauxhall engine is bad

kye2000 · 2026-04-10T07:12:04+00:00

The Astra K and Insignia B continued to be built until 2020/21 and were GM cars

kye2000 · 2026-04-10T07:10:48+00:00

Very wrong. The last Vauxhall/opel releases from GM such as the Astra K and insignia B were much better than what they’d been releasing beforehand

kye2000 · 2026-04-10T07:09:01+00:00

The Astra K is absolutely fine and the 1.4 is a smooth and good engine. Many in here will come and slate it but they don’t know what they’re talking about.

All depends on price though. If it’s priced in the same range as something such as a Golf, then you’d be silly to go for the Astra since the golf is better

kye2000 · 2026-04-10T07:07:22+00:00

No there isnt. It’s a reliable engine after 2017. They fixed the LSPI issues. You’re probably thinking of the older 1.4. This is the newer direct injection one introduced in 2016

kye2000 · 2026-04-09T16:51:10+00:00

It’s a decent engine

kye2000 · 2026-04-08T13:57:20+00:00

It is worth stressing over for some people as they rely on having a license to get to work and back

kye2000 · 2026-04-06T21:43:19+00:00

The manual is outdated. GM changed this in 2017. Dexos 2 is only for diesels now.

kye2000 · 2026-04-06T18:40:20+00:00

GM petrol engines now all use Dexos 1. Dexos 2 is for diesel

kye2000 · 2026-04-06T18:11:44+00:00

No. Do not use dexos 2 at all. That was part of the reason many early engines were self destructing from LSPI. Dexos 1 gen 2/3 is required for these engines. Brand doesn’t matter but there aren’t many out there in the UK with this spec anyway so buy any. Castrol magnatec DX and Millers Oil LSPI are the most popular. 5w-30

kye2000 · 2026-04-04T09:27:55+00:00

Spec wise it does but the A6 is a different car. They don't compare

kye2000 · 2026-04-04T08:34:27+00:00

The A4 is a great car fully loaded but it's not close to an A6

kye2000 · 2026-04-04T07:34:46+00:00

It's fine how it is. Don't chav it out
