    Pipe and Nomex slippers...

    After being an Audi driver for about 21 years, it was time for my current steed to go to pastures new: I am officially an old man because I’ve bought a Mercedes... I have to say that I think both Audi and VW have gone too far with their touch screen obsessions, so considering all the...

    Paint protection film (NW England)

    Hi folks, I'm about to pick up a new motor (won't jinx it by saying what) and I'm looking to get paint protection film added. I've had PaintShield on my last two cars and it's great, but the dealer is a couple of hundred miles from where I live so I'm considering alternatives. Can anyone...

    RNS-E stutter?

    Does anyone else have this problem? Occasionally my RNS-E will stutter in playback - the same fraction of a second will play again. It doesn't matter whether I'm listening to the radio or my iPhone via AMI. My car is a 2011 RS3, and the unit was factory fitted from new. I also have Bose...

    AMI connectivity options?

    Hi everyone, I would have posted this in the ICE forum but I'm not sure exactly which version of AMI comes with the RS3 so it seemed wisest to go to the experts... I'll be picking my RS3 up on Monday :) and then it's a 200 mile drive home, so I want to make sure I am sorted for music / pod...

    Standard seat vs bucket

    Looking for further input to potential RS3 purchase! I have now found another RS3 available and local to me, so I am starting to have choices to consider. :) One car has the standard seats, the other has the bucket seats. How much adjustability is there in each seat? Especially with...

    Discount on failed order?

    I'm considering an RS3 from my local Audi garage which is a non-registered car order for someone who placed the order then couldn't get finance and so couldn't complete the deal. What discount do you think I might be able to wangle from the garage? The list price is quoted at £45,553 but...

    New model and torque vectoring?

    Hi all, Has anyone heard any reliable rumours about when the new generation of the A3 will be released? And do we think the quattro versions will have torque vectoring? It's pretty poor when a Nissan crossover has a more sporty AWD system than an S3... Cheers, Dan

    TT-Forum.co.uk down?

    TT-Forum.co.uk seems to be down at the moment? Anyone know what's happening? Wouldn't normally ask about one forum on another, but AS.net has always got on with TT-F in my experience. Cheers, Dan

    Bye bye A3, hello TTS!

    Hi folks, Well, I put my deposit down in March, and it has been a long wait. But worth it! Here's some shots with the missus Couper S too. So far I've just driven the car at 2/3rd revs, but even at that it is so much better than my A3 3.2 S-Line was. It feels so agile...
