    Rust on bottom of wheel arch

    Do you have any photos? I suspect Audi would say it isn’t covered. But if you just bought it from an Audi dealer maybe you could complain to get it repaired as they sold it to you with a problem.

    New RS3 - Now stolen!

    Which with all due respect is totally a waste of money. If it is fixed and repaired, you're throwing away £10k because you're sad someone else has driven it. If anything you should be thinking that they can't hurt you because you had it repaired and it is just as amazing as before. No argument...

    New RS3 - Now stolen!

    So what if someone stole it? So what if it was damaged? I don’t get this idea that you should get rid of it because of that. If it is checked and everything is fine and can be repaired then so what? It is your car - assuming insurance fixes it - then keep it. Consider the fact that a...

    Facelift Will PFL Sportback Door Cards fit FL Saloon?

    I didn't bother in the end; I didn't have the skill or knowledge to swap them myself and I didn't want to pay a garage to do it just to add some stitching to the door handles.

    The worlds gone mad

    From Pistonheads: Then again, if you were tipping more towards practicality than performance, a Golf R was almost £10k cheaper than an RS3 when both were new. You'd have to spend a few bob on the VW to get it up to the same level as the Audi on some spec levels (five doors, 19in wheels, heated...

    New 2022 RS3 videos

    Basically the same price as current model with a few options which I think will be standard.

    I did do high miles; however the pandemic has made my mileage over the last year and half much less!

    RS3 2018 Saloon Price

    My 2018 (67 Plate picked up in Feb) with 57,000 miles PCP is up in Feb next year and it has a final value payment of £21,000 so trying to see where I stand as far as PX value goes. I have pretty much every option on the car except carbon brakes and the derestricted top limit - I even have the...

    Oil Leak - Suspected Cylinder Head Gasket

    I would always recommend an extended warranty - for exactly this reason. That doesn’t help now but Audi’s warranty can be paid on direct debit monthly and would have solved your problem.

    Rs3 saloon

    Regarding @royalsteve68 said above. Google maps view lasts 3 years - after that you need the update overlay AND you still have to pay £11.99 a month UK for that; you can decide if it’s worth it yourself. My sunroof rattles and I had the whole thing replaced once - and may need to get it done...

    Red vents grey stitching

    I picked up some of the red vents when I got my car and as I have the red interior they look great. It is important to note those third party Chinese knock offs do not look the same. The official Audi ones have a sparkle to the red; the knock offs are just a flat red. I have made 3 changes...

    RS3 PFL want more sound!

    I think there is a line between having a performance car that sounds great and being a yobbo. If you want to change your exhaust - fine - anything else you should probably go get an old banger and street race :) I think my FL RS3 is plenty loud. The neighbours can hear it coming, my dog can...

    Facelift Fastest RS3 RIP

    This is the problem with tuning cars and I know this was more than a little tune BUT I like having car that isn’t hopefully going to have any problems because of me wanting it to be faster.

    Facelift Servicing & Additional Work Schedule

    I definitely don’t have one of those. Only the manual - and it was a new from factory order. Anyone else have that? @Shawn8V Any chance you could take photos of all the pages so I have a copy of this please? (I assume the other pages of the book are just the general requirements).

    Facelift Servicing & Additional Work Schedule

    They is no service schedule in the manual. Unless I go through each page and look for sections on that particular area I wouldn’t know. That’s my point: There is NO way to know when it’s meant to be done. Even if I took it to Audi I doubt they would change the oil before 3 years. So the...

    Facelift Servicing & Additional Work Schedule

    I am a bit annoyed here because I have booked my car in for an MOT which is fine; but I was having a look at the servicing schedule and I saw that at 3 years the Haldex system is meant to have an oil change. Now my problem is this: - My car was last serviced at around 48,000 miles going off...
