    Do our cars' keys go to sleep?

    The keys to my previous RSQ3 'went to sleep' after a period and I can confirm the RS4 does the same. I recommend keys should be stored in Faraday bag or similar device. Mike

    Vorsprung v Carbon edition

    I too found Audi Ins the best value, their quote for my new RS4 was almost the same as the NFU renewal for the RSQ3, best I could find. Mike

    New windscreen already

    I had very bad experience with Autoglass. 1 yr old RSQ3 SE, AG wanted to put some cheaper glass in, they claimed they could not get an Audi screen, I wanted the car to be returned to manufacturer's spec and I had heard of some of the through-the-glass sensor failures due to wrong glass and...

    Vorsprung wheel repair

    My experience: scraped a 2cm mark on the edge of the rim, exposing the Al but not damaging it. My Audi wkshp in Inverness would not touch the repair, " Audi do not repair wheels" was the response, even for such a minor job. I was quoted £1450 for a new wheel, this was 2.5 years ago on my...

    The long wait

    I cannot understand why VAG and possibly other German car manufacturers don't get together and build a fab in the West, either in the EU or UK, but not in the US. It will be an expensive exercise but the ROI will be massive. As each day goes by there is more requirement for microprocessors in...

    Audi pre sense

    I have a Mar' 22 RSQ3 SE on which the Pre Sense is frequently and randomly activated when there is no initiating circumstances, it's very unnerving. It's so bad my wife refuses to drive the car. Interestingly she has a Golf 8 R which has behaved itself impeccably. I notified the dealer to get...

    RS3 service plans

    To date there has been no service plan available to RSQ3, however I put my reg in and up popped acknowledgement and I was offered a cost. It looks like after a long time RSQ3s are in for the first time. I can check on Tues when I'm in my local stealer getting some electronic gremlins exorcised...

    Dealers and Audi UK - The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

    Highland Audi in Inverness have good sales and service staff, I have bought my cars from Connor, he is an attentitve sales person. Tougher to get deals here though. Mike

    My Audi App

    On my second F3 RSQ3 and the app is still a useless distraction as before. Incorrect messages causing me to recheck, especially in town. I no longer use or consult it. Mike

    Badge sizes

    If I had invested so much time and money on a new RS3, I'd want it done properly, not hacking around for the 'best' online offerings and someone else's 'guidance'. I'd get my local Audi bodyshop to do it properly with the correct size badges. Simples. What's a few quid ? Mike

    RS3 8Y General Discussion Thread.

    I've dealt with Crewe, they are amongst the best in my experience and they do move a lot of cars. some very tasty too. I expect said car will go PDQ. Mike

    Joe Achilles having Formentor fun [emoji38]

    If it came in RHD and 6 months ago I may have been tempted to order it instead of my recent RSQ3 Sport Edition. Mike

    First RS3 8Y to be PPFd Detailed & Ceramic Coated

    I agree with the comments about dealer prep can be damaging. I had my RSQ3 collected from the dealership by the ceramic guys with all the travel protection left on. They did the whole lot and a marvellous job. I'd get the calipers done too as well as the wheels, very worthwhile and money well...

    RS3 8Y 3 year service plan

    That's new, I thought Audi did not have a service plan for RS models, I enquired 2 weeks ago when I took del of my new RSQ3, the answer was still NO. Mike

    Faraday Product

    These work very well and can be carried comfortably in a pocket. One slight draw back is the Audi RS keys are quite bulky compared to the Golf 8R slim key fob. An old microwave oven provides as good if not better protection than a pretty box, one to think about. Mike

    Restriction on Resale

    As a matter of idle interest I have just checked the Order Form for the RSQ3 due Mar, no sign of any restriction, it's immaterial as I propose to keep the car. I also checked the OF for my wife's R which was delivered in late Sep again no mention of restrictions. In my previous I mentioned a...

    Restriction on Resale

    I know of the exact same demand from a dealer with a new Defender. I don't see how they can enforce it. Mike
