    Wet braking performance

    In the recent heavy rain I’ve noticed that the RS3 brakes seem to accumulate a lot of water on the disc, the initial pedal press requires a lot of effort with the feeling of no stopping power before a sudden snatch as they presumably clear the disc & pads of water. It is not something that I...

    Engine Ticking...

    I have this noise and I’m 4 months/3000 miles in now, doesn’t sound good but so far I’ve assumed it’s just a characteristic of the engine. Oil level is absolutely perfect so hopefully nothing to worry about.

    So we finally had the weather so had the first proper day out in the RS3 this weekend. Absolutely loving it, drive and gearbox are so much better than the previous generation (you would hope so I guess), it ‘feels’ quicker, that’s maybe just a perception, certainly gets a lot of attention...

    RS3 has arrived, no collection pics as it was delivered, unfortunately the rain also arrived within the first hour so until something resembling sunshine returns there is not much to show. First impressions, it’s smaller than I remember? Matrix lights are superb, steering wheel feels thin, also...

    RS3 8Y General Discussion Thread.

    Thank you, I appreciate the information. I’m trying to get them to share some photographs or short video of cars they have actually done, one thing I did read is that you cannot use a pressure washer on the liquid version but you can on PPF film (with care around panel edges). I’ll try some...

    RS3 8Y General Discussion Thread.

    A quick question, liquid PPF, my dealer has mentioned it, thought it’s best part of £3K, does anyone have any feedback, knowledge or even experience? As a comparison what would full PPF cost for an RS3, £4-5K?

    I received dealer confirmation today that the car is built and delivery into the UK is expected early March, so delivery in around 6 - 7 weeks.

    RS3 Build Tracker Spreadsheet

    Some good news today, my car is in build, it’s an automated email but it’s something, it indicates a 3 week build time, then delivery to the UK, so I guess it will arrive in February, so for me a March 23 collection. That would mean 19 months in total. Hopefully the dealer will confirm things in...

    A few 72 ‘delivery mileage’ SB cars in black appear to have been pre registered and on the market at both independent and main dealers, one of whom is my supplying dealer. I asked them if I could have it instead of my initial colour choice and I’m sure you can guess the answer…… Also as it is...

    RS3 Build Tracker Spreadsheet

    Received an email today, car was supposed to be built this week, it has now been delayed until the new year, WK1, but I’m (justifiably) not convinced. If this we’re the case then taking delivery in March 23 would mean a 19 month wait, for a car likely to be face lifted a few months later, I...

    Well I can confirm it is not getting built in 3 weeks, just received an email, a further 11 week delay, so BW48. On that basis they estimate that the car would arrive mid January 2023, so I’ll hold on until March 23 to register it. Not much else to say really……..

    Sorry, should have said that after calling them today they said that the person I am dealing with is on leave until next week and that they will contact me on their return, hence the question here. It’s good that you receive regular updates, unfortunately for me, despite their promises of...

    RS3 Build Tracker Spreadsheet

    Like quite a few I have just about reached my 1 year anniversary from order placement (no card, no cake) the last update that I received from the dealer was over 6.5 months ago, that update was the car being built BW37, which is now 3 weeks away, since then there have been no further updates...

    Build Week update, it has moved from WK46 to WK37 so some improvement, another one or two of those would be nice.

    Another of my concerns is that my current S4 cannot hold onto it’s inflated value for much longer, I had planned to p/ex it against the RS3 based on the original lead time of March & get some good equity back, but by the end of the year, no chance, so this increases my cost to change.
