Multiple problems arise in the next few months: 1. coolant leak due to failed water pump. (note: Replaced under dealer's 4year/ 50K miles new vehicle limited warranty). 2. multiple failed wheel bearing (one failed after the other). (note: One wheel bearing was replaced under above mentioned warranty but other wheel bearing(s) failed and no longer under warranty.

S3

Haldex pump failure, occurred slowly and existed for over a year. I finally searched for information on "front right wheel slip Audi S3" and discovered there is a well established community of people with haldex pumps that stop working.
