    RS3 Configuration (let's see what you've got then)

    The configurator is way too restrictive for me. I would be paying an awful lot of money for something that wasn't my "ideal" spec. I'm going to watch and and wait jealously.

    I'm not committing until the configurator is live and I can also see one in the real world. I'm struggling to see the benefit of changing from my 13k mile, November 2017 RS3.

    Facelift Pirelli Tyre Defects - Response

    For those with Amazon Prime, I came across a series called Mega Manufacturing. One episode is about Pirelli and the PZero. The narration is painful and technical level quite low but I found it interesting. Amusingly, near the start, an RS3 FL Sportback wheel with a PZero mounted is shown.

    More info on the 8Y

    Fairly dry review of the new RS3 LMS but at around 10 minutes, the road car is mentioned.

    Google maps are no more!

    So, now there is more confusion. The dealer spoke to Audi Connect and apparently, I should be able to pay £55 a year for Google maps and the connect license through MyAudi. In case I was a dullard and had missed something in the App, I don't question it. Just arrived home, checked the app and...

    Google maps are no more!

    Yep, this is what shows up in my MyAudi for my November 2017 FL. I also have my own Sim.

    Google maps are no more!

    My car is at the dealer for some warranty work on Tuesday. I will raise this and the Satellite Map update.

    Google maps are no more!

    Just heard back from Audi Digital Support saying that the Connect Licence has to be renewed through MyAudi. This will make you laugh....

    Google maps are no more!

    I emailed customer services about this. The told me to send an email to digitalsupport.uk@audi.de They claim to have fixed it and said that it would be back in 7-14 days but it is not working yet (11 days and counting).

    Facelift Pirelli Tyre Defects - Response

    Not sure that the service technician really looked very closely at the inside of the front tyres.

    Facelift MMI & VC updates

    Probably not. I work for Bosch and a few years ago, I attended a software security course run by the lead Engineer for the VC. The security systems seemed very comprehensive to my simple mechanical engineering brain.

    Generic RS3 snags

    Facelift Pirelli Tyre Defects - Response

    9000 is shocking. Having said that, my '99 Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo would chew through fronts every 4000 miles (strangely, Pirelli P Zeros) but it was even wear across the whole surface. When I was admiring the car on my driveway after collecting it new, I noticed a thin black film down the side of...

    Generic RS3 snags

    Terrible windscreen washer jets. Easy to replace. https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/2015-rs3-windscreen-sprayers.381991/#post-3353834

    Facelift Interesting new brakes from Porsche

    As with most things in the automotive industry, these were developed by a tier 1 supplier. In this case, Bosch (I became aware of these a while ago through contacts there). https://www.bosch.com/research/know-how/success-stories/idisc-feature-rich-brake-disc-rotors-for-all-customers/ Looks like...
