    1.6 FSI at high revs - what happens??

    When I had mine I would go all the way to the redline, think I hit the limiter once and the power cut so changed into third and continued like normal. The power died of about 5600 so I only redlined for the noise..... Audi A3 Intake - YouTube

    Your driving offence stories

    Not really an offence but when I picked up my new car (BMW) :ninja: from Stevenage I had a 550 mile drive home with out a single hitch on the roads I'd never driven.

    Full Audi code for needle sweep function enable.

    Haha Iv been outed on the forum.. Just fancied a change to be honest. The a3 was a mint car but just to much of a one of a kind so hard to fly around and not get noticed.

    Leaving the fold and going to the darkside

    Yeah I'd say so to, to be honest I wasn't to keen on the new shape when it first came out but it has grown on me, especially the M Sport trim. I'd say the xenon set the front end off pretty well

    Leaving the fold and going to the darkside

    Well after 2 and a bit years of owning my 1.6FSI A3 S Line the time has come to move on to other faster things... It has been a good ride for that time with a few downs but lots of ups to make everything better. When the car started it was very basic but over time I have specked it up just...
