    Facelift spied……?

    Could be interested in a facelift car but very much depends what that involves…

    Anyone else just 'not bonding' with their new RS3?

    My previous golf had “climate” windscreen and that was pretty good - it would be completely clear in the time it took to scrape the wife’s windscreen I’ve now bought another car so the time it takes the rs3 to warm up doesn’t matter anymore [emoji23] maybe a bit exteme but does work!!

    RS3 8Y General Discussion Thread.

    Near the rear view mirror. Just below it on the screen. Had a new windscreen recently and the calibration took ages… [emoji849]

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

    Mine is getting a new water pump in the new year. Also has a recall on the seat belts so both getting done at the same time - not sure if anyone else has had that pop up? No letter or anything but it just flagged up when they were investigating the coolant leak.

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

    My LE is on 6.5k miles now. Tpms has been fine no fault. Brakes do squeal but only if I haven’t dropped anchors for a while. They clearly get a build up of dust and burning that off gets rid of the noise. Cleaning them out with a pressure washer also works. My coolant has dropped recently...

    8Y RS3 Gremlins thread.

    Not had any warnings and the coolant is above min level (likely why) but I have noticed a drop in coolant level. I have booked it in for it to be checked out. Can’t see signs of any leaks from the top but need to have a look underneath…

    RS3 8Y Picture Gallery Thread

    Been trying hard to capture all the angles going on down the side of the car - really is my favourite view but so hard to get across in pics. My latest effort to capture it though shows the distortion to the wife’s 1er - plus mythos black clean again and even dust free (for now )

    RS3 8Y Picture Gallery Thread

    my brakes squeal now and again when cold - I think they’ve just got an aggressive pad tbh… I’m not too fussed by it though.

    RS3 8Y General Discussion Thread.

    Sat my bbs next to the rs3 (since they won’t fit) to see what they might have looked like… I like them but I think the oem wheels look better!! still looking to get the mrs a golf R estate later in the year so will keep them for now, although I’m also considering a 3er touring, so may yet just...

    Unique colors

    Yeah can appreciate that - will be a tad tricky for you from the sounds of it. there was a other thread with a load of different colours of cars that was compiled from what people had found from various searches - may be worth a look as it includes standard colours but also the odd something...

    RS3 8Y 3 year service plan

    lol I know what the price of an akra is, although not what extra markup audi would add, but if you read my message again, I’m not asking about their pricing… I was just wondering if they would be able to offer it as a dealer fit item. Ps I’ve clarified in the other thread as you’ve clearly got...

    Exhaust

    Lol. my comment wasn’t commentary about what my affordability for an exhaust is, which was the implication of your initial reply. my comment also wasn’t commentary on whether there are cheaper alternative solutions like the controller you mention. I was commenting that given the cost to...

    Exhaust

    Yep, true story.

    Unique colors

    Daytona pearl is dull but chalk and kemora isn’t…? Lol Green would be a good shout but sounds like it’s off the cards - perhaps Ice silver or Suzuka grey may be more along the lines of what you’re after? You’d likely need to be the trail blazer on this as not many exclusive cars have come...

    Exhaust

    yep, good memory. You have however missed the point of my post above it seems… I’m not saying I won’t spend £2.5k (or £5k or whatever the cost is for one I’d like) I’m simply pointing out the pricing is a bit strong given the costs to pull it together - ie the markup must be rather large on...

    Exhaust

    Even at 2.5k that’s too much for an exhaust imo - I know it’s typical etc etc but when you look at the costs for them to make the exhausts, it’s silly money really. 3” stainless steel tubing is circa £140 + vat per 6m length… retail… there’s a lot of profit in these exhausts!! Whine over...

    Anyone else just 'not bonding' with their new RS3?

    good way of putting it actually - in isolation some of the criticisms are a bit nit picky but it’s when you add them up it accumulates… I must admit I like the interior but you’re right it could have been that step up with a few tweaks here and there.

    Exhaust

    maybe that’s the price to pay to side step the opf noise problem… looks odd but sounds better!! was thinking soot on the exhaust would anoy me as not even but with opf you barely get any soot anyhow. how much are they?

    Anyone else just 'not bonding' with their new RS3?

    there was a Daytona 8v saloon in my local dealership today - still looks good but seemed really small?!! I think that must be due to all the angles and flares on the 8y that just make it more imposing. The 8v is very discrete but looking around it in a bit more detail you can really see the...
