I am thinking of maybe upgrading the dogbone mount on my car. I did it on my old 8L S3 and it made the transmition / engine so much tighter without being harsh.
I used Powerflex insert in the stock mount. Is this something people do with these cars? Is it a worthwhile upgrade?
On another...
Is an uprated dog bone mount recommended for these cars? I had one on my old 8L S3 when i did the clutch as it was off anyway. I have read a couple of things recently saying these cars need one to avoid damage to the prop and transfer box? I do not launch the car so hopefully it isn't exposed to...
Currently looking at VDCS but not bit the bullet just yet. I am having a look at the dreaded rattle tomorrow if it stays dry. The spring thats lost a little bit of its tension in the exhaust flap set up. i have looked and hopefully easy to reduce / remove the cold rattle
Morning all.
So, i have tried to just ignore this and convince myself i am imagining it all.
My 2018 RS3 went in to Audi about a month ago for a few things... but mainly to recode a key .
Since having the car back i have noticed from cold i no longer get the rev then crackle from the exhaust...
Thanks. The random chats you see always cause worry. There are a few shell garages along the way and will use the V power when its there but out in the sticks you get what you get i guess.
Morning all. We are off to see friends in France again soon and i want to do the trip in the RS3 ... from the previous years i saw that Higher octane fuel was not available at all fuel station. 95 is everywhere but anything higher is quite hard to come by. The filler cap says 95 is fine... the...
Hello. The above concerns regarding safety features being dulled down from some tuners. Can you confirm Revo's approach to this? I was swaying towards Revo but as mentioned the lack of map switching and the unknown "safety" of the software has me holding back.
Just wondering... do you lock the car with the key in the drivers door then press the lock button or... hold the car key turned to lock the door and press the button while the key is turned? I am 99% sure i am over thinking this !
Although i understand you might not want to name names so to speak but... I think part of the reason behind this video blowing up was that alot took from it what i did ... ALL RS3's WILL fail unless running your software. This will obviously caused more than a little panic and a fair bit of...
Hi. Again thanks for taking the time to reply in person. Social media is a double edge sword for sure.
However... My 2018 rs3 DAZA is currently stock. Serviced as it should be and about 46k on now. I would like to maybe go stage 1 but nothing more. Maybe with the elbow and larger intake pipe...
Me again...
I have watched the video that was kind of the reason for the thread now ( sorry , should have done this first )
"ALL Rs3's will fail if they don't have our safe guarding " seems a bit of a stretch? Surely all reputable tuners would not code out / turn off any factory safe guarding ...
Ah. The only car i have seen close up that was modded had the REVO elbow and he pointed out a couple of times the place where it had hit the master cylinder? Maybe a fitting issue, who knows. I am looking for facts that help me back up my ideas and theories. I fully understand everything is open...
Is the intercooler really that close to the edge of what it can do as standard? I get that bigger and better flowing is key to safe smooth power but i assumed the base car was good for stage 1 as is?
Regarding the Forge turbo elbow... the issue of touching the brake master cylinder . I have...
I have never launched my car. Personally have never found a moment that required/ merited it. Each to their own but seems something more for competition? If i ever had to put cheap fuel in it would be just enough for me to reach my favoured fuel. The plan was to change oil and filter every 6...
I shall pop my flame proof over alls on why asking this...
Reading above i have a seen a few things that i completely agree with but quite a few question raising points for me a relatively new owner.
"bad fuel" does this mean any none premium fuels? i use momentum or V power?
Poor / Bad oil...
Thanks. The last 2 cars i have had 8l S3 and B5 rs4 were both mapped by JBS with custom code. S3 was custom map as was their hybrid turbo trial car. RS4 was stage one generic i guess. Both just felt like more of the same... which if that makes sense? A bigger number but same driveability . I...
