No idea. It is the only place I can find deals. If they try not to honour it, surely you can fight it somehow? RS3s are just difficult to get deals on in general :(

Just to add another decent broker site - Orangewheels are doing a standard RS3 for £39k which is not bad considering there are no deals out there! Speccing it up will probably yield bigger savings...

An RS3 saloon would have had me very tempted right now but as it's not going to be available any time soon, I can pick up a C43 AMG coupe with 4WD and 367PS for a bit less than £45k. Stage 1 on that should see me well into the 400s and the interior is a step on from the S3/RS3 IMO. Plus the...

Thanks for that mate. I hunted around for a decent price and in the end a friend of mine in the motor trade has ordered me discs and pads for £72 inc VAT on a trade account with ECP and will fit them for a drink which is absolutely excellent compared to Audi's £425!

Thanks very much for that buddy. I found the sticker in the spare wheel well and a Google search confirms I need 345mm front discs and the corresponding pads. I don't know why there are so many different sizes that come up when I search with my registration on most brake disc sites. Surely...

Agreed, but the styling will be similar on the RS3 surely? The only real difference should be the power down to 367ps...

If the A3 Clubsport Concept is anything to go by, the RS3 saloon is going to be an absolute monster! Not yet mate, all things being well, I should be placing an order for a C43 in September. I'm waiting for Mercedes dealers to get some in so I can test drive one first!

I know! Audi were insisting there would be no facelift on the saloon at all this year back in Jan/Feb and then they claimed there would be no discount because demand would be sky high but the discounts are in fact on par with/better than the ones I was seeing in May/June on the pre-facelift...

Ahh sorry Jassy. I guess that's a bit of a special one but they may do something if you get in touch with them directly. One of the guys from Carfile got in touch with me and said the quoted prices are minimum discounts and they may be able to get a better deal depending on dealer sales...

Apologies if this has already been mentioned but I was looking at a facelifted S3 saloon a couple of weeks ago and found carwow, carfile and coast2coastcars do fantastic discounts on brand new cars and you deal directly with the main dealer (Audi) without paying the broker any fees. I was...

Hi All, Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere (I couldn't find it!). The front discs and pads on my standard 2011 S3 are reaching the end of their usefulness and I need to buy new ones very soon. Audi just had the car in for a service, advised me the brakes would need doing and quoted me...

You should be fine with music files in the root folder. If you aren't getting sound for AUX and CD then it may be indicative of an issue with the head unit itself. Try plugging in the USB before you turn the system/ignition on or try a mass storage USB device like a mobile phone. If none of that...

As long as the drives are FAT-32 you shouldn't have a problem. I've got AMI in mine and it has played everything without issue so far. Not sure if the car needs some VCDS tweaks when components are plugged in but it may be worth taking it back to Audi if it hasn't worked since they installed it...

Saw a grey 08 plate S3 enjoying a spirited drive to work on the A33 heading towards Reading around 9:30 last Thursday and Friday...anyone on here?

Any changes made in engineering mode are temporary unfortunately. Anything you do is undone as soon as you turn the system off :( Disconnecting the mic sounds like a good shout but I think the Bose system has it's own mic (which is the one that needs to be cut out of the loop) - I'm not 100% on...
