    Do your front wheels spin when hard accelerating (A3 Quattro or S3)?

    From what you've descrived I'd be very surprised if the haldex pump wasnt shot. Request an Audi tech take the car out for a test drive and get a second opinion.

    No RS3 orders being taken

    Where are folk getting the money from? Most folk in O&G have had between 20 & 30% pay cuts over the past 18 months!!

    Road tests

    I think the dealers behaviour is really below par here. You're an existing customer (several times over) and it seems your family is well known to them so what are they playing at? Personally, if it were me I'd go to another local dealer and let the current dealership manager know your feelings...

    Black wing mirrors

    Ouch! Never thought of that. If they do chip and look rubbish I'll swop them out for the carbon jobs. Thinking of getting the diffuser done at the same time in gloss black. Thoughts? Hopefully collect the car Friday/ Saturday :)

    Black wing mirrors

    Ive asked the supplying dealer to paint the mirrors black before collection on a daytona grey Sportback. Just trying to decide if carbon mirrors are a better option...Dealer is paying to paint mirrors though?!

    Your car looks amazeballs and the carbon mirrors will set it off beautifully :) Sweet car!!!

    To Remap or not to Remap

    Pretty simple then: i. Take a risk, remap the car and HOPE nothing goes wrong during the warranty period. ii. Leave the car stock and be happy :). iii. Buy an RS3 instead. I guess I been both lucky and naive in the past but hey ho, life is a journey! Thanks for the feedback

    To Remap or not to Remap

    It is an S-Tronic yes...Are they prone to problems when tuned?

    To Remap or not to Remap

    Thanks for this . You take your chances when you remap and if you lose you accept the consequences. I guess it comes down to how risk averse you are and I tend to be if I'm honest and have come undone on at least one occasion (Impreza P1 bottom end which cost me £5k)...

    To Remap or not to Remap

    Wife's S3 sportback arriving in a week or so. Should we remap or not? Difficult one for me as it is her car BUT she loves her cars and fast ones but... I have previously owned two 8P S3s and both were stage 2+ tuned... I know a bit stupid as the car hasnt even arrived yet :)

    Hot hatch mega test

    The review of these cars is flawed simply because they are road cars and they were tested and evaluated based on their performance on a track before conducting the road test. The only redeeming element here is that they were all tested under the same conditions.

    Nicked

    Really sorry to hear your pride and joy has been stolen. The thieving scum should have their hands cut off when caught to prevent them doing it again. Dont give up on having a nice car because of this set back mate..
