Glenn, or whoever this may concern.
I have now had my 2003 225bhp S3 Quattro for 12 months and it really is the dogs! Current spec is..
18" Audi Alloys
Factory Sat Nav
Silver heated leather
Centre Console
Chrome Mirrors
etc...
Has just about every optional extra you can fit on the S3...
It's now time for me to have it modified, never been happy with what seems a huge delay in accelleration between putting pedal to floor and it actually taking off... Unfortunately, I do computers and not cars and so am not mechanically clued up as to why this is or how to find a cure for it. I've sent it back to the Audi stealers on several occasions but with no success. Whenever they reset the ECU it seems to go really well for a while but after a few days it seems to settle into a relaxed mode where it just doesn't feel as powerful or responsive as it should...
Anyway, really enjoyed the post on cyuens S3 and would appreciate some recommendations. I have the money to do required mods (am willing to spend several grand if need be) and need pointers in the right direction please. Dont want to wast money buying unneccessary additions, ducts, pipes, gadgets, etc...
Car has NO engine mods as yet (not even a new DV). I have been pointed in the direction of RSD for the Oettinger chip but your input and open ears await... Like I said earlier, I think my S3 has biggest lag in accelleration ever, try and race anything and they always get that head start, gotta stop that...
Have two years of Audi warranty left I don't want to compromise if it can be avoided...
Advice is much appreciated...
