    Is there that much difference in MPG between the S5 B8 and the S3 8P?

    At the end of the day consumption has A LOT to do with driving style. the lighter the foot the less fuel you use HOWEBER a 2.0T will NEVER use as much fuel as an N/A 4.2 V8.

    Is there that much difference in MPG between the S5 B8 and the S3 8P?

    Ive had both, the S3 8p (manual) and the V8 S5 (manual). That V8 is very thirsty. Even just cruising it eats fuel like nobody’s business. If you are even remotely concerned about consumption don’t buy a V8. I had remus back boxes on mine and the sound was intoxicating. Havent owned it for over...

    Facelift Upgrade Braking

    Im not expert but From my understanding, A higher DOT brake fluid and better quality aftermarket Pads would help better than Braided hoses.

    Dislikes

    Ive only done about 500km in the car and im not one to complain about small things but these irritate me - Wind noise with windows down is unbearable, I enjoy driving with the front windows down about 1/4 of the way. This is not possible in my car (sedan) as the Wind is directed straight into...

    S3 and NOS ?

    Hi guys, I've been looking all over the net and I cant seem to find any info on this. Does anyone know of an S3 with NOS? Has it been done before? is it possible? or Is there a reason why people don't do it to the VAG engine ? There are quite a number of ST's that run NOS succesfully and I was...

    Calling S3 Drivers - How many miles do you get on a full tank?

    I get 240 Miles and then my reserve light comes on. I drive pretty hard and i'd say half city half open road.
