Yeah, just need to find someone now to help me tidy up the fault codes... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s ok, I’ve managed to do the update without the green menu( that was only an option to remove the maps anyway).. all working ok! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Finally did mine without removing old maps Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Interesting- my question too as I’m doing the same to my wife’s car. The instructions I’ve been given recommend the removal of the old map and partition, but the site I bought them off says I don’t have to and can update without, so would want to know the answers too. My current thought is to...

Can someone confirm that you need vcds to enable this menu on the A1? Apparently can activate this on an A4 with Carista, but A1s software doesn’t give that option? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

For those of you with a facelift S3, do you find that when accelerating whilst the gearbox does hold the gear longer it doesn’t bounce off the limiter? I.e it will change up around 5k revs? I was just driving my wife’s A1 the other day in sport mode and noted that the way her car acted in...

OK, slightly random question here. I'm not in the fortunate number on here who own an RS4 or S4 (planning an S4 for the eventual upgrade when they start coming to the used market at a reasonable price in a year or so), but had an odd thought on the way home. I had a recent encounter with a...

Snap.. I've recently done the same thing, moving from an A3 184ps (tuned to 240ps) to a golf r estate. In terms of performance, its a total animal when you want it to be, but can be civilised when you wish - my first "performance estate". If I'm honest I would have liked to go to the new...

I’ve had my Golf R estate now for a few months and I would echo chief badgers view that it is devastatingly competent. Fuel can be a pig in stop start traffic (but then we don’t buy them for fuel economy!, although I have had almost 40mpg on a run). My main gripe if I’m honest is the ride, my...

All sorted and picked up on Saturday. I'll miss my A3 but excited over the time with the new car... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Moving to a Golf R estate... box was definitely an improvement, felt seriously slow and unresponsive without it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ditto to the above. mine box is now for sale as I change my car tomorrow. This is for the 184ps engine so may not be the right one for your car.

well didn't quite manage to get what I wanted for my car, but managed to get £250 extra off the golf... so partial result.. still he's throwing in complete detail and valet by a known detailing firm (south-west detailing), new brake pads/discs/tyres and service. It still has just over a years...

Well, after giving things some serious though and discussing at length with mrs smk82, decided not to go for the s4 at the moment; needs must for spending more sorting out the. New house[emoji6].. the golf however is still in play, found a decent 18month old one with pretty much all the toys I...

One problem with that.. it's a BMW! Joking aside, I find the ride very bad and don't particularly like the interior[emoji12] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well I can say that unfortunately I will be leaving the Audi fold for my next car for one of these.. have test driven two and liked the Jekyll/Hyde ability plus the boot space and general responsiveness. Will be used, just have to find the right one! Looked hard at a used S4 avant but after...

Well looks I need to have a test drive in an S4 to really make a fair comparison.. a quick squint on autotrader shows S4 avants (B8.5) fully loaded being around the same money as Golf R estates, of which similarly loaded examples are quite rare (mostly ex lease stock so pretty basic)... one...

Hmm that's the dilemma for me; my last two cars have been Audis (TT then the A3), trying to find a blend of practicality and fun really without totally ridiculous running costs/maintenance (which rules out rs4!). I scuba dive for a hobby, so a big boot is a must, which also involves trips the...

Interesting thoughts... what about running costs on a day to day basis? Whilst we all would love to drive cars like we stole them; most of us have to do the normal commute with a "bit of fun" thrown in as it were...;). Also what about storage space? One of things that is attracting me a little...

Would definitely be interested in hearing some more comparisons and comments regarding how these 2 compare.. looking at potentially swapping mine towards the end of the year, and nailed the options down to a golf r estate or an S4 avant.. both tick various different boxes; so hearing from...
