Yeah has mate. PM me buddy as you are too important for me to contact you. :p

Thanks Nilz, but I don't have permissions to view his profile or PM him direct. Hoping that's not a specific restriction just for me! :)

MODs - apologies I cannot PM him direct, so would appreciate if this is brought to his attention. Jason, Previous phone sharted itself over Xmas so I've lost your number, so can you drop me a line please mate. Nowt life or death but need to run something by you. Ta

Paul don't know if you have had a deck at this yet, but similar to yours. KRL's PH S3 advert. Speak soon marra.

OP: As you will perhaps surmise from the lack of responses, the 1.8 TFSi is certainly one of the least common engines on this board - and in my experience - perhaps across the marque in general. I have managed to ascertain the turbo is a Borg Warner KO3 - however, the credit goes to Google...

^^^ Absolutely right: 450 only* to UK in total - production begins next month in Leipzig with full UK release in May 11. RS3 is limited only by annual dealer allocation slots - oh and the order books are still very much open, so don't believe the dealer pish that they are closing in X days...

P. is quite right as they don't have a re-seller/agent in AU, but they do ship international - contact linky if you need it. Be aware that these guys are not affiliated with Evolve who supplied Jungleman - that's not a reflection on their product or service though.

The advice you have been given on the tuning is sound, although I think £1700 (~AUD 2200) for the clutch/DMF and fitting is a little rich. As you are in Sydney you should PM Liam (known as LIMA on this site); he is an S3 owner/motoring journalist based in Canberra and also runs...

Some 'non-studio' pics for you guys ordering/considering an order, originally posted by Wolfbane on VAGOC here: LINKY

Gotcha, I read it as a diagnosed DV prob. Anyhoo, your description got me thinking of 'RS's' post from the other day: CLICKY HERE Could be miles off, but is it anything like that?

My bold - give you a clue about the manual - TTRS. Your pricing on paint is out and it is not limited to 400. Edit: and why not post this in the RS3 thread where all this has already been discussed...loads. :yes:

Interesting. By that rationale: there is little merit to your (many) opinions on the matter of S3 ownership then. Can't have it both ways.

...they don't. ;) But I know you will try any excuse to crack out the chinos, Hilfiger shirt and jumper tied around the neck. :p BOT: I think the poverty spec of the car won't help. I am sure it has been mentioned recently...you pay ~£1k for the paint and only spec Ipod adapter (which is...
