Sorry - the result of being a Brit living in the US now - 7/32” and 8/32”. New was 10/32”. Replace at 4/32”.

I’m in the US with a PFL 2016 S3 with the 235/35/R19s. The original P-Zeros were awful - got about 8,000 miles out of those. As soon as the temperature dropped below 40°F/5°C, they’d literally fall apart from slow speed stuff - like parking... Not sure if they’re available in the UK, but I went...

I had heard this “update” messed up the overlay from Google Earth to just satellite view - anyone seen that happen? Also, did anyone’s coding through vcds disappear after the update? I hesitate to take the car in for anything outside mechanical or electrical in case they mess up my modded rear...

Hey, Anyone any idea what the drive cycle is to clear emissions readiness on the PFL A3/S3? Took mine in for a passenger airbag harness recall and a state inspection, and they disconnected the battery for a while before doing the inspection, so everything’s reset... Google isn’t my friend on...

Ah yes, the good old coding dongles haha gotta love coding and not knowing what changed! The stupid thing about this is, this experience seeing people after info not because they have an Audi or VW or Skoda etc, but for financial gain just annoys the crap out of me. Makes me question the motives...

lol

Hey Dan, if you did put the rear lights NAR to RoW file on your Google Drive and shared the link with anyone, I’d take it down or make it private tbh. Everyone asking for it now is in Poland or Lithuania so I’m not sure sharing your work for their commercial gain is a great idea. This thread...

You’re in Poland and wanting to code US tail lights to EU? There appear to be a lot of US Audi A/S3 8Vs in Poland at the moment.. And no I won’t send it. @DJAlix this thread is hilarious. You and I worked on this a few years back in 2015 I think it was, and obviously I’m actually in the US...

Usually takes a couple of hundred km to bed in new tyres. I had some P-Zeros replaced a couple of years ago on my S3 and the dynamic steering felt like comfort and comfort felt undriveable. I’d give it some time. Btw - Continental DWS 06s are pretty good on ours next time you have to replace...

Nice! For anyone reading this with 19s, I found the switch from the stock Pirelli P-Zeros mine came with to my current Continental DWS 06s was equally awesome.

There appear to be a lot of North American A3s in Poland right now... lol seems some “new members” are trying to make money off this mod, so don’t share the file if you have it and they don’t seem legit.

Hey - NAR owner here too. What was the coding on the R to disable the side markers? I have a PFL S3 with the LEDs, but that’s one that annoys the life out of me and have yet to find. That and having no gear indicator in drive (D1, D2 etc.) in DIS like the RoW VAG cars. It’s got to be somewhere...

The new models (especially the Q series and the A6) look to have gone backwards - especially the god awful new steering wheels, and while the A3/S3 interior hasn’t changed in 7 years it’s still nice. One recent car I looked at was the TTS/TTRS. Nice minimal layout and relies on the VC. If...

Seems to be a lot of folk requesting this. I did this a few years ago on a 2015 with some help and comparing scans from a RoW to the NAR. That also works for coding PFL NAR to FL RoW, but the dynamic turn signals still need a module in each cluster. Get in touch with Europrice in the SF Bay...

Cheers! Yeah it was fun sat behind a Yaris for most of it ;) Was able to open it up and throw it into some hairpins further up, but up that high with so little oxygen the turbo was pretty much silent. Took her up Mt Evans earlier which is open to the public on the 24th - not a photo place since...
