    RS3 v Tesla 3 Performance

    Absolutely. I'd still be in my RS3 if I didn't have the option to do it the way I've done it. No contest.

    RS3 v Tesla 3 Performance

    Yeah, I'm paying £24 a month for my Company Model Y. Throw in £5 a 75% fill up and for a daily it's a no brainer. All the money I'm saving is going towards a big petrol powered blowout!

    RS3 8Y General Discussion Thread.

    It was almost a life changing experience turning that off for good!

    Audio Underwhelming?

    I have you agree, I'm in a Model Y now and the sound system is night and day better than the RS3 was. Not even tweaked the settings yet either. It's ridiculously rich and all bass ranges are covered with no drop-off. Mind you, miss the 5 pot!!

    Car Cover

    Same world where people think getting protection applied by a dealer because they're the experts is a good thing. With car covers it's simple - ever dry wiped your car with a microfibre? Immediate swirls. Multiply that by two weeks of wind gently rippling, dust getting underneath and people...

    B pillar rattle / general rattles

    Have you lubricated your door seals recently with Gummi Pflege? If not it might be worth a go.

    B pillar rattle / general rattles

    I had similar in mine, but it turned out to be the rear door cards. A bit of thick felt tape behind, but under the card (not visible) sorted it. I usually put it under roughly and half on show at first, then drive for a few days to see if it works before fixing permanently. I only use 15 to 20mm...

    It's goodbye from me - some closing thoughts

    Thanks both, I intend to keep browsing and will contribute as and when I can, especially as more and more owners start collecting their cars.

    It's goodbye from me - some closing thoughts

    I sold my car today, more on that shortly, but just wanted to say thanks to all posters and contributors on here, it's been a good place to be both pre and post delivery with some useful insights. So on to the car. In short, I've absolutely loved owning it, but the love ran out on my return...

    Headlight condensation

    Those pics are evidence enough that there's an issue. I've never had droplets form on the inside, only a light misting. Sent from my SM-G991B using Tapatalk

    Steering Wheel Alignment

    I've just run some gridlines over your picture and I think I know what may be throwing your eyes off. Assuming the photo has been taken level, the physical wheel is bang level, but the airbag is down to the left by a mm or 2. Even rotating the photo shows that the silver trim at the bottom is...

    Steering Wheel Alignment

    It's so hard to tell to be honest, there's so much going on with lines and shapes. All I know is that on driving alone my hands feel level on flat roads. Sent from my SM-G991B using Tapatalk

    Steering Wheel Alignment

    In my mind at first mine felt left hand down but driving on ultra flat roads at high speed in Europe confirmed it's bang on. The dash is a major factor here and tricks the mind a bit. I'm surprised they angled it so much. Sent from my SM-G991B using Tapatalk

    Illuminated door cill

    I've never removed one however for a job like this I would mask off around the sill protector with 3m masking tape or similar and then saw cut using fishing line to cut through the tape. This works well when removing stuck on numberplates or badges. Sent from my SM-G991B using Tapatalk

    Warm up behaviour.

    I've had much better results today, -7 first thing but I stayed out the car for 2 mins after starting and was able to drive straight off (after clearing outside during my 2 mins of chill time). The condensation caused by sitting in the car is a massive, especially if sitting there chuntering...

    Warm up behaviour.

    Makes me wonder, is the a UK thing or likely to be EU too? I really can't see this being favourable in parts of Europe where they have real winter weather and I'd be surprised if a few people haven't gone back to Audi for investigation. The wife's micra is blowing warm in about 1.5mins at the...

    Warm up behaviour.

    Typical short sightedness. Not that it's minus 5 every day everywhere, but surely they could've built in a link to outside temp to bias interior warm up first in colder weather. A timely reminder we're buying premium brands, not premium cars... Sent from my SM-G991B using Tapatalk

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

    Reminds me of my first car, an M reg Astra!! I've been in conservatories that heat up quicker. That said, in 32 degree heat absolutely wanging it in Europe it never went hot, I know which I'd prefer.

    IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM ******* **** AUDI (letter Today)

    I'm 902XXX, I was dreading checking as trim removal usually means problems and hassle with damage etc.

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

    I've topped up coolant (and oil) from min to max now twice in 6500 miles. Not overly concerned to be honest. As for brake squeal, not had an issue but my brakes do have a cooking evey time I go out.
