Mythos black RS3 8v FL
My FL is standard RS suspension no mag ride and it's perfect on all surfaces. In my opinion that is !
Chris Harris review -Rock solid ride
- Thread starter evil_scooby
- Start date
“Unrecognisable next to the sh*t-box first gen RS3. Worth the extra over a Golf R? You'd swear it wasn't, but that 400hp Turbo 5.....just wow”
No review as of yet, that was just taken from his twitter account. Sure it will be out shortly, but sounds promising. Can’t wait for my re arranged test drive on Sunday now
Yes sounds very good, for Chris Harris to swallow his pride and admit that.... the car has to be epic.
Enjoy!!! You will fall in love with it, incredible machine. Be sure to let us all know your thoughts ASAP.
I will indeed! Hopefully take a few photos too. The fiancé has been invited by her group of friends for a walk lol...so I was like yeh, I think you should go...don’t worry about coming on the test drive, it’s fine. Another time lol. She’d ony tell me to slow down anyway, so quite chuffed she can’t join ha.
The salesman’s having to come wih, but he did say we would go on a longer route. So id hope if he’s getting a decent amount of commission from it
Yes photos are a must and an in-depth review
Think of weight saving, all for the walk
My salesman said they won’t get any extra commission for my car in comparison to the A range. He said it would have to be an RS6/7/R8 for extra commission and that’s not always.
Waiting patiently... okay, impatiently.. for midnight to strike to hit the refresh button, I hope it shows panel shop! Seems common to happen on a Thursday before.

Haha, you define the word 'impatience' and 'worry'. They will have to update the Oxford English Dictionary!!
Can't wait to hear your early reports on it. Xmas is coming early for you.

Yeah, he means the 8P.
It is known to have been a big jump to the 8v PFL that we know and love.
Too early to tell what the jump is to the FL. It certainly looks to be a jump in several areas but perhaps nothing like the jump from 8P to 8V.
People were talking about the 8V PFL being a'favourite' and the most likely to get that 'classic' and 'the best of' moniker but I have a suspicion that this new 2018 FL, even with less pops, will boss it in the RS3 stakes - albeit until the new one comes along.

Am very interested to know more about it being "well damped"....ie. what setup he was driving and on what kind of roads. I suspect it was the RS fixed suspension....but hoping its magride
Had to laugh out loud when all you PFL boys jumped in defense/fell off your chairs lol [flame suit on].....and yes, its not PFL....its 8P (or whatever 1st gen RS3 was)

RS3 Saloon in the Top Gear Speed Week 2017. Will be good to see how it compares to the rest.

Yep it was 8P when this Harris coloured in BMW/Porsches colours just didn`t like it - not worth the money according to him
.
I’m Mexican and even I understood what he meant by rock solid (great)

So funny!
I can safely say, they are absolutely incredible... me and my brother have spent 190 miles laughing at the noises it makes. A downshift from 2000rpm and under is fantastic.
Now at the detailers until Sunday

No where near as loud as the PFL car though.

Unfortunately not.
My valves are open now, helped a lot and doesn’t seem to have any negatives.. no drone at all.
Yes, my remote from the S3 didn’t work because the plugs are a different size annoyingly.
Just unplugged them for now, much better. Much more interior noise...
Hi mate new to the mix, been reading your woes with the s3 you had hopefully you won’t have the same troubles. Lovely looking car get it back from the detailer and drive it drive it drive it come rain snow and shine it really is a great all weather vehicle
What’s the best way to have them permanently unplugged?

Hi, yeah the S3 was a bit of a nightmare and I’m hoping for better luck with this one.
I plan on it being used on nice dry days only, but will see how that goes haha.
You can do what I did, put the car in dynamic so they open and remove the leads from the valves so they won’t shut. This gives a fault code off if plugged in with Audi or any other diagnostic tool, saying exhaust valve open circuit.
Or use VCDS, but then you need someone with VCDS to change it back.. I prefer the ease of plugs not having VCDS.
By who? It’s how a lot of people have been doing it.
I’d just unplug them tbh.
Also tempted to remove my front plate. PPF people said to get rid, my detailer said he will leave it off for me
hahaCrossed wires here....
Exhaust valves can’t be opened with VCDS like the popular S3/G7R tweak
However Audinutta is saying that unplugging his valves creates error messages in the engine control module......hence the need for VCDS and the like to clear said errors.
Ah right, I didn’t know that they couldn’t be opened.. why can’t they on the RS3?
The errors will keep reappearing until the valves are plugged back in, but we can’t see them on the dash so makes no difference.
