    Does anybody know the difference between R and ZR when it comes to tyres?

    Unfortunately hit a massive pot hole last night and my front left tyre is now ruined. All 4 tyres are Michelin P-Zero 235/35 ZR19 91y R01. I’ve shopped around but it looks like the local fitters can only get R instead of ZR. Does anybody know the difference? From what I understand, 235/35 is...

    Woke up this morning to my car unlocked with all windows open. Key not working.

    I think this sounds like the most likely answer. Only question is how did the key get pressed in the first place when it was away out of sight. I think maybe it got moisture inside it or something due to condensation, triggering the sensor that makes it think the unlock button is being held...

    anyones old silver rs3 ( oe16 pbz)

    I agree with this. I was worried about number of owners when I was looking for my car but learned that it’s common for cars like this to trade hands regularly. People who buy performance cars are the type who want excitement, and are therefore likely to want to try a new car when the initial...

    Woke up this morning to my car unlocked with all windows open. Key not working.

    My first thought was malice. We had an attempted break in a few weeks ago, It was clearly an attempt to get into the house for the car keys. We caught them in the act and they fled, we’ve now upgraded security etc in case they came back. Nobody was on my property last night, I have motion...

    Woke up this morning to my car unlocked with all windows open. Key not working.

    Sorry, might not have made it clear in the original post, it happened at least an hour after I fell asleep, and the key was away in its usual hiding spot so it can’t have been an accidental button press!

    Woke up this morning to my car unlocked with all windows open. Key not working.

    Keyless entry and start button! I unlock the door by touching the front handle. I only physically touch the key when I want to lock the door (have occasionally used it to close the sunroof when I’ve accidentally left it open)

    Woke up this morning to my car unlocked with all windows open. Key not working.

    Woke up this morning and my wife noticed that all my windows were open, as well as the sunroof. Checked the car and it was unlocked. Alarm then starting going off but I couldn’t turn it off, onboard computer said “key not recognised”. The key also no longer flashes when I press a button, and...

    Options on 2015/2016 RS3’s...

    mine? I went for Floret Silver. Was second choice behind Nardo but as I was so fussy about options the right Nardo never came up. Pics in this post: https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/posts/3482185/

    Options on 2015/2016 RS3’s...

    It took me a year to find a PFL in the spec I want, as certain options were must-haves for me: Dynamic Package This comes with the sport exhaust and the magnetic ride. In my opinion there’s no point having an RS3 without the sport exhaust. The sound is what this car is all about and it’s what...

    Riko’s Nardo RS3 Sportback

    Nardo and black with red brakes. Something about that colour combination that really suits the car, it’s exactly how I would have it if I were buying new!

    Facelift RS3 Detail

    Any video taken outdoors? Tempted to get mine detailed professionally. These detailing videos always make the cars look amazing but I always wonder how much is down to the indoor lighting.

    Before I bought the car I probably would have liked the sound of that swap, but after seeing it I fell in love with the colour. Would potentially consider a swap for Nardo though :sm4: I was quite fussy with options, it took me ages to find one with the right spec in a nice colour. This one has...

    As promised... PFL Floret Silver Sportback with pretty much every option ticked. Always hated silver cars and said I'd never get one. Saw this one and changed my mind instantly!
