Hi all, just to keep people updated. If you are still having issues with brake vibration as I have been I have just had my 6th set of front disks and pads fitted. This time back to a round disk and drilled differently to the previous type. Has anyone else had these fitted? Do they indeed fix the...

I had extremely squeaky brakes with vibration coming through when I first got the RS3, i'm now on the 5th iteration of disks on the front I think now and the 3rd on the back. Also had the dampers fitted to front callipers. Squeak is totally cured. Vibration seems ok but I'm not 100% sure yet...

Hi all, Just had car back from Audi for what I think is the 5th change of disks. This time it was the rear disks and touch wood the vibration seems to be gone so far. I am now back on the wavy disks from a couple of times having the round ones as on the FL. Anyone else still with this ongoing...

Well. After now the third set of disks that have started to cause vibration. Original ones and two sets of the newer style ones I again have an issue with vibration. I've now done 15000km so 5km on a set. So last week after two weeks of waiting Audi have decided to try a 4th set. This time...

How long have you had that third set on the car? I am on my third set now and its been perfect but recently I started noticing a slight vibration and its just getting progressively worse now over the last 1000miles or so but Audi are on the case once again. Seems a bit light chucking disks at it...

Ah great that gives me some hope then! Your right, I can't believe it took them all these years to sort it and still took two attempts on my one. Glad I wasn't paying for disks etc. No I have the pre facelift, the facelift model is only available for delivery in 2018 here, don't ask me why.

Hi Guys, I've read a fair bit about the ongoing brake issues and thought I'd share my experiences so far in Ireland with getting it fixed. I have an 2017 RS3 PFL. Soon after I bought the car I noticed a vibration from the brakes and also the dreaded squeal when stopping. Audi took the car in...

Hi, thanks for the reply, I just had the wheels balanced as there was a slight vibration from the steering at about 70 which seems to of cleared up now. They found all the wheels out a bit with the balancing but the front right wheel looked to be a little out of shape compared to the rest also...

Hi Guys, Recently picked up my first RS3 so just ironing out a few issues, one of which is a bit of road noise. The car had the rear wheels refurbished before I collected it and after doing a few miles now I've noticed a strange road noise. It does sound to be the back wheels which would have...

Picked up the car yesterday evening. It is phenomenal!! Great drive home. Delighted I went with it over the S3. Thanks for all the encouragement guys.

Very slight mark on one rear alloy and some light scratches on the other side. Nothing major but I want it corrected before I take it. That's great. Not sure if it will need them but I might try it out and see how it looks with them on.

Deposit is down guys!! I can not wait!! Hopefully get her on Saturday after a couple of marks on the alloys are sorted. Thanks for all the info. Mpg sounds very good compared to what my old 8L S3 was like. I'll get some pictures up once it's detailed. By the way will my A3 8V wheel spacers...

Its got a couple of marks on the alloys I want sorted (very minor) but otherwise should be good to go. Probably next week I would think. Its got the B&O speaker upgrade which I had in my A5 too. I guess it won't be used much with that engine though!!

I won't be using it for commuting, will just be for fun basically so really the mileage be it 20 or 30mpg is not a problem. I think I'll go for it. The sound was just amazing!!

Hey guys, thanks for the info, that sounds reasonable to me. I don't expect high numbers but below 20 would be a bit of a joke. I think on a quick 20 min test drive I got about mid 20s but I didn't get many opportunities to gun it, still considering that was from cold and in traffic I was...
