    RS3 8Y General Discussion Thread.

    I’ve had my RS3 for just over a year now. I’ve had the oil changed at 3000 miles and on a reasonable run on A and B roads managed 36.5 mpg over 77 miles which I think isn’t too bad. My Golf R would get up towards 38 mpg over similar roads. How’s everyone else’s doing and does it get better with...

    Snow Foam question....

    We had a Kinetico water softener many moons ago but was advised not to fit in the last or current as we have a main presssure hot water tank and it’s not good for them. Do you have a main hot water tank? I’d love to put one back in our home as we have hard water too.

    Lowering the RS3 8Y

    I agree Mike I think it looks about right as it is and it doesn’t t catch low curbs or speed bumps. I did look at the MSS adjustable spring sets but for what I want from my car I can’t justify the expense. Eibach do 2 kits sport and pro I think they are called and lower somewhere between 20 & 25mm.

    Gtechniq Serum Ultra

    I had my RS3 coated with Titan ceramic and a hydrophobic coating on top to help keep it cleaner when driving. I’ve been using AutoSmart snow foam but have recently changed to Bilt Hamber touchless snow foam and in my opinion it’s takes more of the dirt away without having to touch the paint. I...

    RS3 8Y General Discussion Thread.

    I was half an hour into an hour journey and had just gone over some rough road surface but the car was warm. I always drive with the AC on so I don’t think it could be the same, could it? I’ll see if it happens today on a shorter stop start multi meeting journey. Thanks for your input.

    RS3 8Y General Discussion Thread.

    On my way to a meeting today mine sprang a new series of faults, no Audi pre-sense, no headlight adjust no adaptive cruse control and something else (I can’t remember what). I stopped at the meeting for a couple of hours and all is well on my way home. Anyone else have this happen?

    Windscreen Demisting

    Yesterday wasn’t particularly cold so I started my car and drove off straight away, what I noticed was that I was 4-5 miles into the journey before the restricted rev limit was lifted and the temperature gauge started to rise. Anyone else noticed this?

    Windscreen Demisting

    I have mine on AC all the time and when cold it takes an age to clear. I’m amazed that Audi don’t offer the heated screen as an option. I had it on my Golf R and would clear within 30 seconds.

    RS3 8Y Picture Gallery Thread

    Nice pictures, have you tinted the rear lights or is it a filter making them look darker in the third image?

    RS3 Build Tracker Spreadsheet

    If anyone watched the Saving Salvage RS4 build he explains it quite well in that it’s the time to get the parts rather than the parts themselves. He was told that the carpet would be a month or two and came in 10days, I think. If the insurance company was paying for a similar hire/ loan car for...

    12.5mm front/15mm rear spacers: need for mudguards or ppf?

    I’ve got the AP Design on the front of mine and nothing on the rear. I have to say I wish I’d bought both as the rears wheels do cover the rear bumper. I’ve had it ceramic coated and all is fine at the moment but I do worry!

    Audi service plans 25% off

    I have the service plan on mine and having just done a shade over 3000 miles I paid to have the oil and filter changed when they did the electrical connection recall at a cost of £284. I still have the 2 services which will be in 2024 for the first and maybe 2026 for the other.

    Safety recall 97HO

    Had my recall done at Hereford Audi on Thursday and an early oil change. Signs up ‘do not clean’ and sure enough it came back exactly the same. The loaner for the day was an A8 which I have to say was a lovely ‘waffty’ ride. My eldest now wants one!

    8Y RS3 Gremlins thread.

    Yep, had this as well. Logged back in to the car and all is fine.
