Those with the FL - is there no sound proofing under the bonnet on the RS3?
Not on any of the ones I've seen so far neg (picking mine up tomorrow........)

So would you say its like the S3 in normal driving until you get to 3rd gear and above plus louder when valves are closed too?
The noise with the brakes sounds like the usual sound when having drilled disks - I put the Clubsport S drilled disks on my R just before I sold it and they made the same noise, like you said it sounds like they are catching - they got better over time.

I can confirm there is no sound proofing on mine......Those with the FL - is there no sound proofing under the bonnet on the RS3?
The drilled disc noise does get louder & more noticeable the further you drive the car and more pad debris goes on the discs.
You would be amazed how much $hit comes off when you pressure wash the discs on these cars.
Once you get it all off, the noise is totally eradicated for a while until the build up causes it to start again.
I've never had to pressure wash discs before in my life, but with this car its essential
If you keep on top of it I suppose its no big issue but its just annoying you have to do it at all.
That’s an interesting thing to note, I often avoid washing the discs.
Managed to obtain a quote today on an RS3 Sportback with mythos black, sport seats, hill hold, folding mirrors, black roof rails and high gloss styling pack. Pretty basic but all I'd want in all honesty. 4 year term and 556 a month. Was ideally looking to keep it no more than 550 with 4k in. More than I wanted to spend given I looked at the S3, but why take an S3 just because.
He wants 1,000 deposit to secure it, I've only ever put 500 in when securing an order
So your complaining for £6 extra a month? Lol. I am sure you can afford that.
As for the deposit - most dealers want 10% of the total on RS models. To only put £1,000 down is not unreasonable. I had to put £2K down on mine to place my order.

Get the sports exhaust or the residuals will suffer.....
We saw this the first time you know, at 5:23pmHi Everybody,
I have a pair of Miltek secondary decay pipe for the FL RS3 saloon or hatch. They are brand new, never been used and still in the box. Would anybody be interested ?? £200 (apparently there is a shortage at Miltek, minus 16)
Part number is SSXAU588

Sorry Yeah, thought it hadn't loaded for some reason...... You want themFBF ??
Was thinking that, but I'd have to put an extra grand in, so like 5k to keep it at 550. I'd be keeping it for its hole term anyway, and more than likely ha ding they keys back after 4 years, so it's GFV doesn't bother me too much. Nothing a Milltek down the line can't sort ha
Little bit unnecessary considering the FL RS3 doesn’t have secondary cats.
It’s worth it though, quite a big difference. I agree on the Milltek, but you can’t sell the car back to Audi with that exhaust as they can’t sell it with it. In 4 years you will have more equity in the car, more cash back with an exhaust. Plus the mapping is different with the exhaust, more crackles.
Hmmmmm, worth considering! I'm waiting on hearing back about a bonus in the next week, so if all works out the way it should I think I'll have to treat myself. 5k in though...getting stupid money do you think considering I will be handing it back after the term?
Like me I’ve put 4K in on a Saloon...£550 a month..sports exhaust...

Get a PFL Fraser. Sound better and has the pops and bangs. Cheaper too!Hmmmmm, worth considering!

I think your in the clouds sunshine, read what I said and take in what I've writtenWhat kind of PCP / finance deals are you guys doing for 550month with only 4k/5k in??
And as for FBF01 above stating 3k deposit and only 505 a month !! I think you're living in cloud cuckoo land !.

@FBF01 run the calcs past us again as low / mid £500's p/m seems remarkable without a mahoosive deposit.
TX.
Yes its not too bad - try the PCP calculator link above its very accurate.
If you keep the spec low i.e 47k you can get monthlies at 550odd with only 5k deposit.
But I would definelty add the Sports Exhaust. I have one and its sounds awesome.
I think I'll opt for sports exhaust, but as you say I will need a 5k deposit to be circa 550.
Tweaked spec to Nardo and black wheels, so alongside exhaust and the other bits and pieces above, may be more like 560 with only 5k in. Just trying to decide if i want to put as much money down as that. Seems a hell of a lot. Put in more money to keep monthlys lower, or put in less but just understand il be paying higher monthlies. Hmmmmm
£550 per month £4K deposit £1900 discount 4 years....5k miles...£1200 negative on rs3
