I don't think you'd have done any damage at all.
That clutch is designed for much more abuse than that. You're probably just analysing and worrying about it more because we are all a little precious about our own cars.
Its probably smells because at only 1500 miles I recon its still bedding in.
I think less owners who specced mag ride complain of the problem, albeit there are still some who have experienced it with mag ride.
Thinks it probably worse without mag
Jesus. She's hit something pretty damn hard. Looks like it's taken a sizeable chunk out of the tyre sidewall!
Replace that tyre ASAP before doing anything else.
The damage on the alloy is fairly small but with the tyre damage looks like a hard shunt. Hopefully Audi will just give you a brand...
I really don't understand how annoyed people are getting with veeeight's views. He owns the car and has a right to make his opinion of the car known as many times as he likes.
It's not the right of other people to try to break down his character in order to somehow invalidate his opinion...
Tyre squeal and understeer to the masses.
I haven't driven that road so cannot fully compare but my Torsen equipped B8 seems to be able to apply traction better than your S3 veeeight at similar speeds and road conditions.
What tyres are you running?
This. Torsen based Quattro makes a difference in my experience. That the supercharged V6 is a great lump!
I personally love that supercharger whine and with deep enough pockets you can achieve big gains:
I have seen many people say the same as the OP regarding the S3.
However I've just watched this review:
I generally trust what Matt Farah says, albeit he is reviewing a 2015 American spec S3 saloon
Yep, I certainly experienced this issue with my last car (A3 8P). Especially annoying with snow. No matter how much snow I tried to clear from the car, I would always end up with a big mass of snow on the drivers seat upon opening the door! [emoji35]
I can't say I've noticed the issue with my...
I dream of owning one of these. Financially it's very possible but my wife says that it will be an instant divorce if I bought on. Too boy racerish apparently... Kill joy!
This may well just be an unexpected side effect of dsg.
I know that these are symptoms that many dsg users have complained of and documented on this forum.
Some users do find it a very on and off affair. I certainly found that to be the case when I tried it out. Pulling out on roundabouts I...
I wouldn't be concerned about the delivery driver trying to steal etc personally.
I'd be more worried about the technology involved.
The problem is that anything that has been made can be unmade. Any system can be hacked and the more open plan and restricted security access etc that is...
Imo Haldex cripples S3 and RS3 models. Haldex is just no good for performance orientated cars. Much better for mini 4x4 vehicles like the ford kuga, Q3 etc.
Torsen is a much better setup for performance but is vastly more expensive and would require reworking of the chassis but it would have...
