Over 21 years , it’s been a while! My real post count should be in the 10- 20k range ( more on that later)
Only a few die hard members may remember ,
I started here in Dec 2001 as “S3Maybe” when I was still in my Vectra GSI 2.5 V6
Audi sport had not long changed from its previous form...
I traded it in and was looked after by a good friend. I have been a customer of APS since they started and a friend of both directors prior for 21 + yrs
It was advertised with all the benefits of a dealer supplied vehicle @ just over 21,500 iirc.
More professional pictures here, that have disappeared from the advert since sale.

Just missed the opportunity to buy mine,
I have just sold my 2012 Misano RS3 with 37k miles on the clock.
Here it is, sold, gone but not forgotton…

I have had an itch for an RS6 for a while , so have upgraded to an RS6...
Stunning car John. Bluey and “The Red One” side by side look awesome in their black and silver packs respectively.
starting to find myself drifting over RS4 B9 / B9.5 reviews….
I love the RS3, it’s burble it’s noise, it’s punch, but starting to feel as if I’ve outgrown it,
At 6ft3, it’s...
It might not work on its own..
I believe you might have to set the abs module / pump into a neutral or a bleed state for it to work with VCDS or similar.
I leave it to my specialist...
Hi sorry no part numbers, Audi stumped up to retrofit them on my black edition S3, after they sold it as having Electrically folding mirrors ( an absolute must to get in my garage)
They had the choice to retrofit or I returned the car.
All standard Audi bits, but they subbed it out to a...
Having had 3x S3’s the Last an 2011 8p black Ed, the RS3 is a different beast.
you can keep the stop start, it’s the first crap I’d turn off ( permanently with vcds)
And my experience if dab radio coverage in other cars has been poor, including the very latest hybrid Mondeos with Sony upgrade...
I don’t recognise the plate sorry.
as far as timing chain, it’s meant to be maintenance free.
that’s not to say people haven’t had issues and then replaced parts.
Sorry to hear your woes..
On balance , Thames Valley , I’ve now been stopped twice, to check it’s not stolen.
Both times, was plodding along in a 30.
The latest being last night... around 7pm. so at least round here they are actively on it...
Yep, my posts were in the thread mentioned above...

I did it on my 2011 s3, from putting bits together from here, I have posted what I did somewhere.
sadly doesn’t work on the RS3 version, despite being newer, they changed the access to the abs coding, and only Audi online server SVM can code it.
I bought the latest hex-v2 3 vin version , but haven’t used any of its “lives” or vins yet as it’s free to just clear and view fault codes.
Thinking of selling it, and getting the WiFi one instead now.
I used to like stirring the cogs, but once you go s-tronic or dsg, your not likely to go back, especially if you like making progress in something suitably fast.
Interested in pics and part numbers, often thought about dab, but not keen on windscreen fitted antennas or messing about with the shark fin on the roof or hacking car apart to fit it.
Also I’m more than happy with Audi look
And don’t want third party head units etc or troublesome. plug and...
