    Sportback Cold starts?

    On a PFL, is there a way of deleting the cold start where the engine goes up and down in tone for the first minute or so and you get the clutch slip feeling if moving off before its settled down? My previous BMW M3 also had the dreaded cold start but could be removed by coding.

    Sportback Headlight condensation?

    I had a bit a row with Audi when i bought my 'Audi Approved Used' PFL car back in June as it had a cracked headlight - which they finally replaced as a gesture of goodwill. At the weekend I noticed the replaced unit had some condensation in which I've never noticed before even after heavy rain...

    Sportback Michellin ps4s?

    I've read quite a bit about Michellin ps4s on RS3's which vary from traction light issues to being way better than the stock P Zeros. So, on the PFL with a square set up (235's all around), should I use 235/35/19 or 245/35/19 size all around? If so, for those that use them, whats the road...

    Aluminium trim around windows real?

    I have the aluminium pack on my PFL and noticed the aluminium trim around the windows is starting to tarnish a little. Is it actual alumimium (metal) or a plastic made to look like aluminium and any suggestion on what product to clean it with to get it back to its best?

    Squeaky rear seats

    I have a minor but annoying squeak from the rest seats in my PFL but can't quite tell where it's coming from? If I fold the seat down it goes away. It's this a known issue and is there a fix?

    Cigarette lighter/12v socket always on?

    I want to fit my dashcam (not hard wired yet) via its 12v connector in my PFL. Does the cigarette lighter/12v socket in center console stay on after ignition is switched off as don't want to drain the battery? I have Googled this but some say no and some yes :help:

    Rusty brake disc?

    I got my 2016 car late last week and it was sat in the all day heavy rain yesterday so had some rust on all the discs this morning. I did a quick 3 mile journey dropping nipper off at nursery and did plenty of braking but I noticed one of the rear discs still had a lot of rust on the surface...

    Revo remap?

    Having had a few cars remapped in the past, I'm very tempted by a Revo remap (stage 1) and only want the basic remap and no other bits fitted. On other cars I've had done, one thing i noticed aside from the obvious extra power, is that they were smoother to drive at lower speeds and pottering...

    Paddle extenders?

    So, picked up my PFL yesterday and its great fun and after an F80 M3, they are very different cars indeed! I usually drive in manual mode on the paddles but finding the stock RS3 ones very small and don't stick out quite as much as I want so have to wrap my fingers round more. Can anyone...

    Does the standard exhaust pop and crackle?

    Hi all Off to see a 66 plate RS3 next week which I think has the standard exhaust. Most of the Youtube vids I see all had the sports exhaust but how does the standard exhaust sound? Is it loud (when you want it to be) and does it crackle and pop on lift off / downchange?

I spent...

    Bluefin remap on S3?

    I just got my S3 this afternoon :) I want to remap it (stage 1 for now) but want to do it myself via a switch so can return to stock if needed if it ever goes back to dealers. I'm assuming like other cars i've remapped, its a case of plugging into OBD port, wait for 8 mins or so and be scared...
