    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...

    Real world rear axle behaviour

    Now that a few of us are months in to ownership, what are people's thoughts and experiences of the rear end when set to fully active (not Torque Rear)? I think I'm just about used to it now and it's pretty impressive and very repeatable, the biggest observation I have is that there's little to...

    Wastegate Noise

    I think I've heard or read that supposedly Audi coded out some of the wastegate chatter, not sure if it was on here or youtube. Happy to say that this may not be true as I heard it today for the first time with Windows down. Sounds pretty cool and brought a childish grin to my face.

    Pumped in sound - initial experiments

    I decided to carry out a bit of an experiment today to pinpoint the effects of the Engine Sound setting in Drive Select. In RS Individual Mode I drove under a varying amount of loads, revs and speeds while the wife switched 'Engine Sound' between 'Subdued' and 'Enhanced'. The results are...

    Functions On Demand

    This might not be applicable for people with higher specs but I stumbled across this post in the a3/s3 section about Functions On Demand having nearly fell out with Audi Digital Services this week. In short, they still say in the UK FOD is coming soon, but there's a hack... 8Y A3/S3 Post I've...

    B&O settings

    Not that we need speakers in these cars, but if anyone with the B&O system is interested I found these settings on the 8Y A3 forum and have just loaded them in the car. Much better than factory for my varied music taste.

    Phonebox Dimensions

    Following on from a comment in another thread I thought I'd post some info about the Phone box (if it can be called that less the wireless charging). Dimension wise it is: And here's an S21 (Blue case) and iPhone 12 in the 'box', please excuse the disgusting state of my screens! In terms of...
