    How Old Were You When You Bought Your First A3?

    1st A3 (and audi) was an 8L S3 (210hp, per the avatar) at age 27. Now 30,2nd A3 8P 1.4tfsi sport. i didn't test drive anything else either, thought about a couple of faster cars (new cupra mainly) but decided to go with the better quality, lower cost option. i will probably stick with audis in...

    Just got my A3 1.4TFSi....

    i think the SB looks great in white. the 3dr not so much (why, i don't know). if you guys can keep it clean a black 3dr would be great. over here it's a bit difficult, so brill red for me :yes: i think i'll be waiting a while for a remap. if i get the bug, i'll do it. if not, i'll wait for the...

    Just got my A3 1.4TFSi....

    do you guys know for a fact that the internals and turbo of this engine is the same with the tsi's? because this engine gives peak torque pretty low down (1500rpm) and its pretty good figure (200nm). if this was the case IMO they wouldn't have gone to the trouble of bolting on a supercharger...

    Just got my A3 1.4TFSi....

    i totally agree about the economy. not so much with the boy racers, as they have to be in a 1.6 astra or something if i want to shock them. i'm sure the engine will outlive the car if it's left std. emphasis on if :)

    Just got my A3 1.4TFSi....

    you can be sure theres an air sensor (MAF).its further down the pipe nearer the intake manifold. when new theres no problem with the K&N (i've used them before). just don't over oil them after cleaning. we want pics!

    Magnetic ride - anyone know anything about it?

    i've read that the system works very good on the R8 and is pretty good in the TT.Don't know about an A3. i know the s-line is terrible :) my 8L S3 had a terrible ride and terrible handling with the OEM (albeit 7 year old) shocks. i installed bilstein pss9s and was amazed at the result. high...

    An observation on ESP

    it puts on the outside front brake during oversteer and the inside rear for understeer.

    Help Me Please!!

    1st, what is your car? you can check if the pads have sensors. usually only one pair has them and you should see wires coming out of the pad (one side). if not, they don't. if you've got the cash, the brake upgrade would be the way to go, as IMHO you can never have brakes that are good enough...

    Just got my A3 1.4TFSi....

    thanks mate! i'll have a look today! i've finished the running in period (1500km) and started giving it the stick today. it's totally wierd how the car seems to have the same thrust at 2000rpm as it has at 5000?!? theres no increase or decrease in performance, just feels like the same old...

    4WD vs. RWD...

    i honestly don't think i can make a RWD car go faster than a 4WD car. so its 4WD for me. if you're the stig, go ahead buy the F/R...charging up mountain roads i'd miss the stability and traction.

    Opinions on the Current Diesel Vs. Petrol Situation?

    mmm... very tough chioce. i'd probably flip a coin :) nope, tbh the interior of the beamers is the deal breaker for me. i'd go with the A5 and but some FSD's on.

    I'm Back!

    currently it's 1.47pounds to the liter of 97 octane. it seems i won't be able to do the bose upgrade as it has a million bits which would cost a million quid. oh well. lovin' the white S3 btw...:superman:

    thanks a lot mate. so i actually need 9 speakers + sub + amp. i guess it would be stupid to try. maybe just the sub. i wonder if the subwoofer has the amp built in or if it uses the main amp...

    uhhmmm.. 270hp to 125...a bit slow? well, after the micra (1.2 auto) anything is fast :) the 8P is soooo much more refined and has better quality. the seats are just as comfy (old one had recaros ;) ) , the suspension is great, engine is super economical and also very easy to live with in...

    Just got my A3 1.4TFSi....

    no its a generic type, but is very easy to install on any car. VAG cars have problems with their MAFs so its best not to take chances. i have some friends using this filter and they are quite happy with it. http://www.aempower.com/ViewCategory.aspx?CategoryID=93 if you want a cold intake, you...
