Facelift S3 2017 review

[Flying Scotsman]

Here is an American mag review of the facelift. Note that it is a review on USA models which offer only two base spec models (saloon only) which are pretty loaded and that the engine and transmission are unchanged at 292HP and 6 speed DSG.
The findings are pretty bang on for the merits of an S3

Interesting to see that it has the addition of the extra setting for the haldex control....
Wonder what's involved in retro fitting it to the pre facelift S3's?
Is it only a software upgrade or is there additional mechanics required??

That is a very interesting question. I would presume both....software and haldex pump control valving?

I'm having the haldex pump on my car replaced under warranty on the 11th..They told me it would be the updated Facelift pump that's getting put on...So I'm almost half way there with the mod...lol
