From a German forum, a guy is selling a RS3 instrument cluster. Not sure if this is a prototype unit or a fake one. Opinions?

Probably fake but like to be proven wrong Just call Audi with the part number

Need to check that part number out. Well if its RS3, where does the S3 redline start?

Speedo goes up to 192mph? That would be nice..
I'm saying fake.

And have you seen the price!!! 650 Euro's!

Latest version of ETKA has the part number only in search mode. No image and no price.

autoexpress the going with this pic last week saying it was genuine! They also had a pic of the RS3 steering wheel

Seems strange if they are genuine but it stands to reason that the parts would be available before the car! Maybe the suppliers are dodgy, who makes the clusters? Someone like Siemens I bet

I think your right Lee the guy probably slipped it out the factory. Very interesting that part numbers are showing up though hmmmm

 

[voorhees]

still not convinced,someone has mocked it up for some mug to buy.

 

[Khufu]

Didnt somebody used to get parts that werent released before, kinda 'demo' or 'mock up' parts that never made it to the production car?

 

[mitch78]

I had plenty of R32 parts before the car had been officially released, never before it had been ANNOUNCED though!

 

[sub39h]

still not convinced,someone has mocked it up for some mug to buy.

that doesn't explain why the part code is appearing on the latest version of ETKA

 

[Brett Butler]

Well lets hope it is genuine, and Audi in their wisdom, will let the cat out of the bag, or come clean in YES or NEVER, and not carry on making their Dealers look stupid in denial all the time

Is there a parts number for the RS3 gear knob? I need a performance mod.
