So the S3 is a month old now and has 750 miles. It was a nice morning, so decided to take it out early for its first good thrashing. Run in has been quite gentle so far and the car is using no oil; so far so good.
Given my exuberant mood I though it best to inspect the tyres and check the pressures all round. I know, I know it was stupid to drive the car for a month on whatever pressures the dealer set the car up with. Duh.
Stone cold 53 PSI all round!!!!!!! I dropped them to 38 PSI all round and instead of going for a good blast I spend the morning re-learning how the car handles. Getting there but ooh I do miss that crisp turn in that the ridiculously over-inflated tyres gave me.
Anyhoo, a note of caution for anyone taking delivery of a new one. Check 'em on day 1 just in case.
