Since there has been some debate over this I have had mine on the rolling road and will quote the figures below for you. It was a warm day, 23 degrees at time of test and there was difficulty getting enough cold air to my engine, so these figures will be lower than what I could expect to see on...

PRICELESS WORDS A husband wakes up at home with a huge hangover. He forces himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins and a glass of water on the side table. He sits down and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed. He looks around the room...

Well, I got the text on my mobile 25 mins after they opened today to say my software was ready to download. Went on to the internet and plugged my Bluefin in and downloaded it. I then went to my car and "uploaded" it (15 mins). I then warmed my car up to get the oil upto 85 degrees before...

Following a long chat with the Technical support people, I ordered yesterday direct from Superchips and it arrived this morning at 08:30. They have just reduced the price to £499 from £599 and also got 10% discount. So £450 and about 18 hrs to it being in my hand. I downloaded the map in my...

Is this common for S3's. I find it seems to hold back in 1st gear (even with traction control off) and when you get into 2nd gear it feels like it accellerates faster than it does in 1st ? It's not slow, but just doesn't feel like it is getting all the power through, almost like not getting...

As it is a "drive by wire" unit, how can I reset this on a 2007 S3 ? On a couple of cars I have had with this it was a case of turn ignition on, floor accellerator and hold for 5 secs, turn ignition off and let throttle pedal return to top. Wait 2 mins, start engine and drive. Is it the...

Are these engines normal a bit "clicky" at tickover ? not sure if it is tappetts or noisy injectors. at tickover it has this fast, regular clicking (when stood outside the car in front of it, not sat inside), but if I raise the revs to 2000RPM all is as smooth as can be. Sat inside it sounds...

I have been practicing on getting the S3 "off the mark" quickly and without any "bog down". It seems to me the best way launch an S3 is 4000 RPM let the clutch bite enought to get the car to roll slightly and then fully engage the clutch and floor the accellerator at the same time. This results...

I have an S3 and I notice when pulling away slowly / normally in 1st gear there is a slight noise and slight vibration through the Clucth pedal. I think it is a little "thrust bearing" noise, but wanted to know if any of you with an S3 experience the same. Also if you gently touch the Clutch...

Picked up my 8 month old S3 last week and washed it for the first time at the weekend. One of the wheels wouldn't clean properly as the dirt stuck to it and I noticed the laquer was flacking off. I went in to see them yesterday and they say it has been poorly refurbished and as it wasn't by...

I had driven & owned many "fast" cars so I know how to do 0-60 sprints and Qtr miles well. The question is with the S3 (on a standard map), if you launch it reasonably hard (without abusing the clutch too much) and let it hit the rev limiter in 2nd gear :wtf:, this is about 60MPH and I can get...

I have a 2007 S3 and am looking to get the 310BHP "Bluefin" (superchips) remap as I can swap the programs back for servicing and warranty work. Has anyone fitted this ? How long does the file swap take ? What 0-60 times can be acheived ? When should I expect a clutch to go and how much to...
