    To do or not to do S3 remap

    Around 20K per year work and leisure. Currently the best I have managed on a 125 mile trip was 34.1MPG but I was driving like a fairy to achieve that :) Typically I get 30-32 at motorway speeds. My old Passat 130 TDi would give me 53mpg on the same run and that had clocked 221,000 miles when I...

    S3, 19 years old with 2 years ncb... is insurance possible?

    Seems the S3 is cheap to insure:icon_thumright: My son insured his VW T5 van for the first year at 19 and it cost him £3100 (including business mileage) :racer: Second year £2300 This year's quote £1080. S3 sounds cheap to me :-) MikeM

    Tyre Advice :-)

    Well I had to go with Contis again (SC5's) because I still had one brand new usable one and £130 could go towards the Cruise control :-) Got them @ £130 each fitted and balanced. Logic kicked in and I went for another three of the same. so we will see how they perform over this next few months...

    Newby again on my second post and I have trawled the forum for tyre info, but not found much that is recent. 2007 S3 8P2 ;-) Both rear tyres require change and currently are Conti sport contact3's 2mm to the stops. Gathering the tyre details tonight I find a 1" gash tight against the rim on the...
