Hopefully getting a low mileage 2.0tfsi over the next week. Thinking of getting stage 1 initially but then jumping to stage 3 Who’s good these days, Revo / R-Tech etc May consider a drive in/drive out for the stage 3 which I think R-Tech would offer as a discount if you’ve had stage 1 with them...

Currently insured with Flux on the RS so will give you a shout when the time comes

I would have contemplated a RS5 etc or a newer RS3 but I’m really constrained by garage space length (not leaving things like this on the drive) Kind of suits due to cost so going for a 2015/2016 RS3 Sportback as they are a bit shorter and saves a bit of cash as well. The hard bit will be...

Thanks for advice and help.... I've since decided to go RS3 and stage 1/2 it so will see if Revo offer any packages for that car. :beermug:

What tuner did you use? Audi tuning is new ground to me, but would rather steer clear of generic maps in favour of getting all the mods on there and get it live mapped. I take it the stage 3 required a bigger turbo, but internals untouched, maybe bigger FMIC etc? Are there companies that do a...

Thanks. Yeah the Focus RS is about 20cm wider than an RS3 anyway so no problem in that regard.

Evening So … Looking at getting a 3 as an everyday car. Currently have a 1.4TFSI and a Mk1 Focus RS for weekends which is running 300bhp/360ftlb So would like to get something that ticks boxes as well as having a decent amount of power. I’m torn between getting an S3 and stage it or get an RS3...

2010 Audi A3 1.4TFSi My car has a hesitation/slight juddering at part throttle only. If at full throttle it’s perfect. Generally around the 1.5k to 3k Rev range, like when in traffic. Anyone any clue to the cause, things I can check myself (I’m not too mechanically minded however) I did read...

Hi there Yeah I got it all working, its all plug and play. I do have the infamous alternator whine which gets louder with lights on, ROM of engine etc. It's not *too* bad, but I plan on ripping out all the Bose stuff and replacing with aftermarket amplifier, speakers and a stealth 10" anyhow.

Good point

PFA One local powdercoater is charging 280 and said they will be like brand new and in any colour, but will be without wheels for about a week. I’m thinking piano black as he had advised would look good, but does anyone have any tried and tested colours for this colour car. The back windows...

You sure it’s not the rear speakers buzzing? What h/u are you using?

I’ve decided to go with an Android unit from Xtrons. I like the look of the one unit being very factory-esque, all the added functionality and around half the price for the branded ones. Mine isn’t Bose, but I believe all Audi A3’s have a factory amplifier so the speaker outs for the amp will...

Thanks for this, decided on the octocore Android unit above and also got the hard wired adapter for Apple carplay. Might have to do a bit of rewiring to get rid of any alternator whine it seems for the rear speakers, but shouldn’t be too bad hopefully. Haven’t even picked the car up yet :tearsofjoy:

Thanks for that. Have read that the Kenwoods etc can cause issues, but Pioneers tend to be quite good compatibility wise. Do you happen to have a picture of the Pioneer installed please and the connects2 harness and head unit part numbers? TIA!
