    Change start up VC animation?

    On my previous RS3 Launch Edition it said "AudiSport" when I turned the car on - the VS says "RS" - I would like to change it back to "AudiSport' I am sure this a coding change that can be made but I have no idea where to look. I have OBD11. And @8YARWY if you have a suggestion I will say...

    Paint brake callipers?

    I really miss the red brake callipers I had on the LE. Any recommendations as to where I can get them painted in the london area? I am assuming ordering them from factory will be prohibitively expensive. And also no mail order I need somewhere to take them off paint them and put them back!

    Steam/Smoke from radiator area?

    Just got my car back from being repaired and it looks great but I've noticed the last two times I've been driving smoke or steam coming from the front driver radiator area. Not the other side. I don't know what to make of it. Any ideas?

    Trouble getting tyres?

    My car repairs are finished - except I am waiting on a replacement tyre. Now this really annoys me as there was a tiny cosmetic cut on the driver tyre (see if you can even spot it on the photos I put up before) and as a result they won’t give me back my car until the replacement arrives. It has...

    New Vorpsrung Owners!

    Can anyone who has bought a VS in the last couple of weeks tell me what features it has (or doesn't have). Previously I expected on the VS: No phone box No Wireless Charging No TPMS No Audi connect phone key function (all present on the Launch Edition) Am I missing anything?

    Wheel bearing damage? Is it safe…

    I had someone hit me about 2 weeks ago and there was some cosmetic damage to the wheel arch and some scratches but I didn’t think anything happened to the actual mechanics of the car. Well, it turns out I was wrong. I noticed a droning noise that sounded like road noise and today I finally...

    Small accident - should I fix this myself?

    I had a small accident this afternoon. Very annoying. I turned left at a traffic light that was green and someone hit me from the side. They maintain that I was wrong and it was red and I was speeding and I disagree. But I reported it to the insurance company. It was a very small accident but...

    My NEW RS3 has exactly the same issues as my previous 8V

    My previous glorious sounding RS3 that I did 75k miles in has two annoying issues that were not fixable; not serious - just annoying. - Squeaky brakes - The engine coolant would get sucked under the minimum line and set off the engine coolant warning. A quick unscrew and it would release the...

    Whining noise on reverse?

    I remember a few people mentioned this before but I had this issue for a few days after I got the car and then it stopped. I thought maybe it was down to the car not being driven much as it was fairly new. But over the last week, it has started doing it again. When I reverse I get a loud...

    Rear cross traffic alerts/assistance?

    I just realised that we do not have rear cross traffic alerts and assist on the new RS3 on any of the cars. Audi package the rear assist WITH the blind spot/lane charge assist - which we also do not have. However, I understand that the rear cross traffic alerts use the same sensors as the auto...

    12V not working

    I just noticed my 12V cigarette charger that has a USB power Anker plugged in gas stopped working. I tried it on another car and it works. So that means it’s the 12V socket itself. Could this be a fuse? How would I check this?

    Launch control not working?

    Can’t get launch control to work? I tried to do a launch yesterday. Put it in dynamic, turned off hold assist, turned off auto-stop, floored the power while pressing the brake and the revs just jumped straight to red like it had a limiter… and the engine did nothing; no rev-ing. This is...

    Did your car come with a tracker from the dealer?

    I thought I’d share my experience collected the LE last week. The dealer gave me the keys, and they looked wrong. There were two key fobs on the end of the keys. I assumed they were something belonging to the dealer so I told the salesperson and he said they were mine now. It turns out...

    Unlock your LE with your phone!

    Has anyone actually got this working? I was going through the settings and found this: I then downloaded the myAudi app on my android phone. This does not work on iPhone. It also seems to be very picky on Android. It told me my phone was compatible but would not install the key onto the...

    Can you remove the Audi badge at the front?

    I’m very tempted to swap out my silver LE badges for black ones like on the VS. Can you swap the main front logo over? And does anyone have the parts numbers for the black badges? RS3 and Audi logos. And how easy or hard is it to get them off and replace them?

    Short term RS3 insurance?

    My current insurance expires on Sunday - there is a chance I may not be able to collect my new RS3 until Tuesday/Wednesday next week (Although I hope it will be either Friday/Saturday). My current insurer does not offer short term insurance. I may need temporary short term insurance for a few...

    Road tax for new/used RS3?

    I am confused about the road tax for the new car. It is from the used stock so it is already taxed but I read that road tax doesn’t transfer when you sell the car? So does that mean I will have to pay £1345 before I can drive it away?

    I got in trouble for driving the new RS3 over 100MPH!

    …. With the Marshall at the test track :) Yesterday was a driving day for car journalists at milbrook test track. I made two videos - and I took both the BMW M240i and RS3 Sportback on the high speed bowl and went over 100MPH… Good fun. Also interesting to compare the BMW and Audi. (The BMW...

    Centre console glossy plastic?

    Has anyone done anything about that horrible black plastic centre console area? It scratches and gets dirty and covered in fingerprints and I want to class it up!
