    New RS3 Owner!

    Thanks for the post mate! I haven't noticed much brake squeal, You get the odd bit but that's fairly normal IMO. The one thing I have noticed which is worrying is the wet weather brake delay!! The day after i collected the car I went down to a car show with about 50 clio's, Every time we...

    New RS3 Owner!

    I think the carriers really let the car down, I might get them anodised or painted, It really is annoying though

    New RS3 Owner!

    Cheers mate! I did want a TTRS but the insurance was alot more and I need a decent sized car for work really! It's staying pretty standard other than the Cat bypass as otherwise insurance shoots up, I want to remap it but again with insurance & possible warranty issues it's not really worth...

    Out with the S3, in with the RS3 :)

    I left a deposit on your car haha! Couldn't sort the finance out in time due to an issue with vodafone, Thankfully as Iv'e bought a couple of cars from Tamworth Audi they were fine about it and refunded my deposit, A week later I waled out with a Black RS3, I believe it's the 4th RS3 they have...

    New RS3 Owner!

    Hi People, Iv'e been on here a while with my old or new? A3 1.8 TFSI 8V but that's gone and has been replaced with the RS3:hubbahubba: The car really is superb in every aspect, This is my 3rd A3, I went from a 8p 2.0 tdi 170 to a new shape 8V 1.8 TFSI (180) and after seeing the RS3 I couldn't...

    1.8TFSI - awful lag

    You will be fine mate, I'm on around 8k miles now and it's far better than the DSG box on my old 8p a3, It loosens up over time! The drive select makes a difference though so make sure you switch through the settings!

    Audi Sound system vs B&O System

    I was a little shocked when I found the sub in the boot of mine but the sound quality certainly isn't compromised by it. It's completely on another level than the Bose in the 8P, The Bass is ridiculous!, The rear windscreen vibrates alot and if you get out you can see the roof skin moving...

    My A3 8V TFSI ran 198bhp??

    The car has covered 5000 miles so far, Standard book BHP is around 177 I believe although they round it up to 180. The dyno is the least generous one iv'e seen, All other cars were running well under previous dyno runs. The car does feel fast, I previously owned the 170 2.0 tdi A3 and...

    My A3 8V TFSI ran 198bhp??

    Completely standard from the factory, Produced a nice smooth power curve. Unfortunately I do not own a scanner but will upload a picture in a second.
