    Boot leak, water in battery compartment.

I had to replace a wheel nut cap as one had fallen off, the spares were in the boot with the jack and stuff, I lifted up the boot floor and low and behold i could see water droplets over the...

    Auto locking ?

    Anyone know how to ensure the car locks itself automatically when left for a period ? I thought these RS3's did it, the previous S3 i had did auto lock after 30secs or so.

    RS3 vs A45s

    Anyone seen this....? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.motor1.com/news/362815/mercedes-amg-a45-predecessor/amp/ They don't actually do a head to head drag race, only singles. And the guy launching the RS only clocked 4.2 against the A45s at 3.9. What a muppet launch ! Sounds like A45 is...

    Any of you guys seen this on Pistonheads... https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-germancars/mercedes-amg-a35-unveiled-with-306hp/38770 With the A35 at 306hp the A45 must knock on the door of 406hp perhaps more. Still don't like the look of the merc....and that rear spoiler hmmm, I'm sorry...

    Those crazy Dutch prices!

    Guys, just touring around Holland for the week in the RS and I'm amazed to see very few performance vehicles here, not seen any S or RSs, hardly any GTis. It's all down to the prices here, just checked the Audi NL website and a sportback RS3 retails at, wait for it....... 72300 euro that's 64k...

    Rs3 spare wheel space saver?

    Guys as you know we have no spare wheel in the RS. I would like to buy a space saver 19inch wheel to take with me on a long trips etc and use in the event of an emergency i.e I get a puncture. Last resort would be to use the tyre weld crap that Audi supplies. Is there an specific 19inch space...

    The dangers of wheel spacers.

    Now guys I know I might be a little paranoid here but today I'm having 12mm Bimecc spacers fitted all round and I've been reading up on the pros and cons of fitting spacers. Can you guys give me some reassurance that wheel spacers are safe? Has anyone had any 'issues' ? Noting the Bimeccs are...

    Lowering or Wheel Spacers or both?

    Guys we all know the RS3 (PFL and FL) in standard form could do with a little more of an aggressive stance. But I'm not sure whether to lower mine or widen it with wheel spacers or do both. Issues that could arise; 1. Impact to handling as both changes will affect the Audi original set up, this...

    Affecting warranty - lowering, spacers etc...

    Probably a silly question, but I note a few threads on here about various mods to your newly purchased 50k RS3's. Any of you guys worried about invalidating your warranties? I'd quite like to lower mine and perhaps fit spacers but I'm worried about affecting the warranty. Any experience here...

    B&O speaker door illumination?

    I'm 99% sure my old S3 with B&O speakers had a nice blue ish illuminated surround on the front door speakers. The current RS has the B&O setup but there's no illuminated speaker surrounds, it doesn't make any difference if the settings on the media are radio or music etc. Is it me !! Have...

    Colouring your wheels whilst on a PCP ?

    Apologies beforehand if this is a silly question! But if I where to change colour of my RS3 wheels will it impact the T&Cs of my PCP deal? Obviously the warranty as such should not be affected. What do you guys think? I fancy changing to matte black from the current titanium rotors, my FL needs...

    Personal plates, check this out !

    Now don't get my wrong by the title of this thread - but I can't stand personal plates I think they're for wags and wannabe's, but I can understand why you might have one in a very few circumstances i.e hide the year of manufacture. BUT CHECK THIS ONE OUT.....(you might need to put browser on...

    FL wheel swap rotors for blades?

    Anyone out there with a new RS3 saloon who wants to swap their titanium blades for my titanium rotors?? Obviously mine are undamaged and tyres are only 400miles old. Most annoyed I couldn't select the blade wheels for my RS3 FL sportback unlike our friends outside the UK (typical Audi UK ...

    Rim Protectors...?

    Any of you guys tried rim protectors for your Audi's? Was just wondering on your previous experiences. I was thinking of getting black ones fitted, hence similar colour to the tyres as I'm not looking for a colour contrast change i.e red rim protectors....!! Just got an RS3 FL so a bit...
