Never driven an A3/S3 with a manual but there fine and actually a little quicker to 60 with S-Tronic. Manuals will be a thing of the past before long (can of worms opend) ;)

The prob with these sort of cars is that there not the sort of thing that are bought by the masses. Fuel is high and S3's aren't great on MPG which right now isnt a good thing. Even 3 years ago my missus tried selling her Volvo V40 T5 (or was it V50?) and most of dealers then said theres little...

Imran is the man. I've had maps from them for my 335d and Disco 3 - all ran well until selling cars. Just a shame the switches cant be used on more than one car.

You mean me? :yes: My S3 is 2010 with s-tronic and so far so good with the Evolve map. Decent map too and very handy with the switch so you can revert at any time. There stage 1 map has also been beaten a Revo stage 2 car at a dyno day i'm informed :p

I've been through a few cars in the last couple of years and from what i've found, most optional extras dont add a great deal to the selling price - if any. Its just makes them a little more desirable/ easier to sell if the price is right - providing the buyer wants it. My mint 09 BMW 335d...

Any idea what these are

No idea what wheels i want yet! Just want some black ones and wondered if 19" would ride ok still without being to crashing. Will trawl thru the rims thread later...

I have the standard 18" wheels on my S3 but would like some black ones and maybe even 19". Is swapping the 18" for 19" just a case of removing old/ adding new ones? If so, anyone care to share there views on 19" wheels over 18".

Thats what i've always thought. I'm guessing that CS 3 tyre was a replacement due to puncture/damage and wherever they went before i got the car was all they had? Are Conti still making the 2's? Have to say like another poster in this thread says that the tread pattern looks way better with...

Slighty off topic... does mis-matching tyres matter? Was cleaning my car yesterday and did the first wheel, looked at the tyre and saw it said Conti 3 on. Excellent i thought but on the other 3 there all conti 2's!

DSG or whatever each manufacturer calls there system is the future. Perish the thought of ever driving a manual again! ;)

I'm still amazed why Audi and other manufacturers cant stop the hubs from rusting so easily. My MY10 S3 hubs are rusty and when i bought my new BMW 335d last Nov (when it was pretty wet) they showed rust after 3 days! Is it just a case of removing wheels/masking/prep and then painting?

+1 Used Evolve for a couple of my non Audi cars as well and there maps are solid and i dare say you'll get more performance. Nice guys too :)

Yep, its the small things in life :)

My gripe with the 3 door is the way the doors open. They always seem to close themselves nearly taking my leg off as i'm not pushing them open enough. Push harder and the damn things bounce back and close again :(

I've got 59 plate 3 door with DSG which is mapped. I got the Evolve switch and by god it has some shove when the turbo kicks in whilst still being very drivable in slow stop/start traffic. Evolve also told me, and i quote "One of Stage 1 s3’s beat Revo Stage 2 cars at a dyno day at the...

Anyone have an HTC Desire HD phone with an S3 as the in car bluetooth on mine is constantly chimimg and dash changes from BT on/BT off at regular intervals which is getting annoying now. Dont know if its the phone or car?? I've took phone out pocket and put on passenger seat to see if that...

No more please ;)

Got it delivered on Tue, bought Autocar the following day and saw the RS3 on the front cover! Not bothered tho as RS3 is only 4 door and not available for 4-5 months or so. Remap should take S3 over 300bhp + more torque ;)

After trading in my GT-R for an S3, i thought i'd give a little review in the 5 days i've had it :) Firstly, the weather has been crap so a bit hard to fully exploit the car (there is snow outside right now) but on the limited dry time i've had i have to say its a fantastic little car! I spent...
