    S3 Sportback chip experience???

    Afternoon, I've just ordered a new S3 Sportback and would welcome your opinion on chipping. I test drove a new S3 a few weeks ago and, to be honest, I was pretty underwhelmed by the grunt. I used to own an '02 S3 (stock 220ps) which I had revoed - afterwards it sported 267bhp, 311...

    I've just been told that REVO SPS1s are not available for the new A3 2.0T FSI quattro sportback, has anyone heard this before. I thought they were available as a stage 1 option. A REVO dealer has just told me they're not available.

    My Nightmare New Car Delivery Day

    Well I'm sure you'll be fascinated to discover I have had a nightmare day on the car ordering front. On the day of delivery, after arranging the collection time, I get a call from Audi telling me that that they have ordered the wrong vehicle - awfully sorry sir - a 3 door instead of a five...

    An S3 dilemma

    I was invited to purchase my company S3 for 8k but I'm not that stupid. It's an 02 with 101k miles. The pedal-sized hole in the floor mat is the first give away. The second is 270bhp and 311lbs/ft torque. Third is the shiney steel dump valve with a big hiss on gear change. Much as I love...

    Should I be fined?

    This is the scenario. It's rush hour (17:30) on one of the busiest junctions in Nottingham. I'm following slow moving traffic over the line as the lights change. Sure enough I'm flashed by the lights camera. Realising that I can't proceed across the road I reverse the car to a safe position as...

    Steel rings exposed - nice

    I had new tyres sorted yesterday. 4 Pilot Michelins. When they took the old Pilots off every single one had its steel rings exposed on the inner rim. I hadn't noticed as you tend to look on the outside when checking tyres and the inner rims looked like someone had taken a knife and sliced off...

    Handsfree - another victory for nanny

    Okay, some topical questions. How many of us have handsfree kits in our cars? If so, is this a factory fitted device or our own configuration? What is the best handsfree configuration in an Audi A3/S3? Is this another victory for Nanny or a necessary change in the law? Should...

    The mysterious case of the disappearing thread

    Feedback: I suspect I'm not the only one to have noticed that a five star rated thread (headed "Interesting Reading") has mysteriously vanished without explanation. Coincidentally it was a Revo related thread. Personally I don't think it's good policy to remove as if never existed threads that...

    Max Turbo Boost Revo settings

    A strange friend is luring me with his SPS3 dongle. Says my standard Revo settings (1.3 bar peak boost delivering 260bhp - 270 lbs/ft) is for girls and I should change to High boost 9 and Timing 7. This, he assures, will deliver some 282bhp and 289 lbs/ft torque (peak boost 1.5bar) whilst...

    Brushes with the law

    I had a lucky one last week. Coming back from London, the M1 was closed around Luton so decided to hit the A5. I was making use of the phantom centre lane (why did Nanny delete them) and overtaking a line of sluggards @ 85-90kph, when suddenly in my rear view appears PC Outraged, driving his...

    Babies and S3s. Anyone know of a good importer?

    Can anyone recommend a good importing site/ agent? I've heard about some pretty terrible experiences and horror stories. Since the arrival of baby, the S3 has been found somewhat wanting in the rear space/ boot department and it has been commanded that we acquire a second car with more...
