    Insurance hiked up this year???

    I just got a quote online as a new customer directly with my existing insurance company, with no change in circumstances and the exact same coverage, it’s £240 less than the renewal price they sent me! If I was to take out a new policy with them instead of renewing my existing policy, can...

    Oh dear lord! RS3 is for Gangsta’s!!

    Exactly. You can tell they don’t for one second take themselves serious and neither are they expecting anyone else to. They’re actually smarter than what some people are giving them credit for. I’m sure their aim is to capture a certain type of audience who will watch their videos for the comedy...

    Facelift Demisting on cold mornings

    The patent actually expired over a decade ago and comes as standard/option on most VW range, including the Golf. The only Audi’s to have heated windscreen are the A7/A8 which is surprising as Audi love their optional EXTRA £££!! Even Vauxhall offer it across their entire range, mostly standard...

    Aluminium trim around windows real?

    Try wiping the trim with a dab of isopropyl alcohol and then finish off with Autoglym Rapid Detailer. Worked for me and looks tip-top!

    Damaged trim around windscreen

    Definitely avoid using superglue, as said above it will leave a white stain that will just draw attention to it. Since you have repositioned and bridged the gap, any water that could seep into that hairline crack would be negligible and hardly worth the trouble/expense to have it changed just...

    RS3 Inspection Service - 18k / 24 month

    I recently had mine serviced at Preston Audi, was £150 for the oil service but only after taking advantage of their price match promise. When they gave us the invoice there was a supplement page informing us that I will only be charged £220 for the first inspection service which I think is...

    Fuming....

    Unfortunately the MIB will not compensate in this case as part of the requirement is that you need to provide the details of the uninsured driver i.e. name and address. You also see a lot of insurance companies boldly advertise a ‘uninsured driver promise’ as if to say it’s some extra benefit...

    1st service at 16k, is warranty still valid ?

    Does anyone know if Audi have released a recent ECU update on the FL RS3 that dealers are applying during servicing? I’ve just had the first oil service done today and immediately noticed how the throttle feels much more responsive and the car seems to accelerate faster. I can’t believe a...

    RS3 saloon tyres - OEM Pirelli or Michelin MPS4

    Does anyone know of any reason to avoid the Pirelli run flat tyres? Can get a good deal on these but just need to be sure it's not going to cause me any problems? I know they won't have the foam to help suppress noise but the stronger sidewall would help in the event of hitting a pothole?

    RS3 saloon tyres - OEM Pirelli or Michelin MPS4

    Thanks Matt for the above, but they work out at around £180 delivered vs Kwik-Fit £184 fitted. I know Kwik-Fit get a bad rap from a lot of people, I’ve only ever used them for tyre changes, all positive experiences. If they did damage an alloy, they pay for a repair/replacement so not too...

    RS3 saloon tyres - OEM Pirelli or Michelin MPS4

    What’s the best price anyone has found for the Pirelli 255/30 RO2 and from where? Black Circles seem to be a little more expensive than ATS Euromaster/Kwik-Fit who have them at £183 each fitted and free full wheel alignment.

    Import and tax on items form the USA.

    I imported a body kit from an Audi main dealer in the US back in 2011, at that time it was just 8.5% tax on auto parts from the US to UK, now it’s 20% on pretty much everything outside of the EU and in your case 2.5% duty on top. You will also pay an admin/collection fee charged by the courier...
