    Sports Exhaust

    Well I finally managed to collect my new RS5 last week (with sports exhaust). Obviously it's nowhere near as loud as the RS3 but I feel that's likely deliberate by Audi as its targeting a different market. My boy racer days are over! haha. It's a big step up in refinement/comfort and...

    Sports Exhaust

    Haha! Honestly, I'm getting to the stage where I'd rather not have the pops/bangs so I'm not too concerned. I did however manage to find a stock car with most of the options I wanted including performance exhaust. Only thing I'm not too keen on is that it has a heated steering wheel (no flat...

    Facelift New Orders?

    Few of reasons for the move: - I bought the RS3 outright and would like to release some equity from it as I'm buying a new house - The RS5 has some pretty hefty discounts on them new (20% is achievable) - It's still very quick albeit without the drama of the RS3 - I would like something a little...

    Facelift New Orders?

    I've actually just had an offer from a specialist dealer who deals in a lot of RS cars for £40K. More reasonable than £34K. Waiting to see what another dealer comes back with first but may end up selling to him.

    Facelift New Orders?

    Crazy low. Mine was spec’d to £56k and 2 dealers have offered me £34k! Oct 17 car, 6k miles, immaculate condition. Joke!

    Facelift New Orders?

    I'm looking to jump into an RS5 shortly and I'm getting crazy valuations on my 11 month old, highly spec'd RS3... not sure this situation is doing anything for p/x valuations at the moment...

    Sports Exhaust

    I'm looking to move from my 2017 RS3 to a new RS5. Found a lovely spec car in stock but it doesn't have the sports exhaust. What are people's thoughts on this? Completely avoid as its a must have?

    Back with Audi and a RS3

    I came from a C63 to an RS3 and have no regrets. If I’m honest, the AMGs have more character, presence and sound better but the Audi is easier to live with day to day. It’s just as quick to 100, way better on fuel and I don’t need to worry about ending up in the hedge every time I floor it! I...

    Is anyone actually happy?

    It's the first car I've had in a long while where I'm not looking for a replacement after a few months. It does what its supposed to very well imo. I came from a long line of AMG Mercs and even though I miss their unique character, I think I'll keep a hold of the Audi for a while yet. Only...

    Best Car GPS Security Tracker

    I have the built-in SIM and you don't get tracking. The myaudi app is pretty useless and doesn't do anything remotely like other models. Poor show to be honest on a MY18 car...

    Best Car GPS Security Tracker

    How have you got this to work? My Audi app just tells me where I am and gives the ability to record a parking location. Doesn't appear to track the car in real-time though...

    Tyre Wall Blister

    Are the Pirellis fitted by Audi run flat does anyone know? I can't seem to find anything on them which suggests they are but wanted to check as there's 2 options when searching for the P Zeros.

    Tyre Wall Blister

    I don't recall hitting a pot hole but you just never know with the state of our roads in the UK! :( Thanks for the replies - will try the route suggested and have it returned to Pirelli to see what they say.

    Tyre Wall Blister

    So I just noticed a blister has appeared on the tyre wall on the front offside. Anyone else had this happen? I haven't hit anything so can't think what would have caused it. Audi suggest I contact Pirelli themselves to see if they would sort me out with a new tyre as the car has only covered...

    Facelift Known fault with FL RS3 - ticking exhaust valve..

    I've booked mine in for week after next for the cold start rattle. I also noticed last night driving home with the sunroof tilted open there's a pretty loud rattle coming from the exhaust when you let off the power... It disappears in 'S' but is there in comfort. You don't hear it with the...

    Facelift NEW RS3 Ordered

    I have the Thinkware F770 front/rear cam hard-wired. There is a newer F800 model available and would probably go for that one if I was buying now. Some people prefer Blackvue but I think they're both very good cameras.

    Facelift NEW RS3 Ordered

    Only thing I've done is installed a front/rear dash cam. Considering a remap at some point but that's about it really. I came from a C63S AMG and thought I'd miss the power but the RS3 doesn't disappoint. Plenty fast enough for a daily driver imo...

    Very nice mate! Exactly the same spec as mine except for the engine cover... you'll love it!

    Facelift Looking for recommendations on dashcam for the RS3

    +1 for Thinkware. I have the 2ch. F770 and the video quality is outstanding day and night. Managed to use a decent discount code on the RAC shop website at the time which made installation pretty much free... not sure if there's any active codes around at the mo though.

    Yeah family are up that way. It's an enjoyable 300 mile drive back home! :)
