    Facelift Pirelli Tyre Defects - Response

    On the 255/235 staggered setup (I think most are tbh). Both 235 and 245 square setups work for the MP4S. Just don't try to replicate the staggered tyre setup on anything other than the P-Zero R02's

    Facelift Pirelli Tyre Defects - Response

    ++ I had a set of MPS4S (4x 245/35) installed last week, after doing ~29K on P-Zero's. Absolute game changer.... I know the phrase gets thrown around a lot, but the difference is night and day. Much better turn in, more support on the front during cornering, massively improved wet weather...

    RS3 v A45s v M2 comp v Golf R

    Will be interesting to see what happens regarding the mild hybrid technology. I've had a play on prototype commercial vehicles with MHEV, as part of my line of work, the MHEV system is great when it works / well integrated. If it can make a van feel much more responsive off the line / low end...

    Facelift New exhaust due to valve stick

    Ah nice mate! Thanks for the reply!! Any difference in noise with the exhaust or not at all? @Bonstio Left side being louder is normal. IIRC, the left side is the "primary" side with the flaps open at idle etc, right side opens more dynamically (at >3k revs etc)

    @mattdsc @evil_scooby Sorry for the thread bump. Mine is currently in with Audi to investigate (Same issue as above, squeaking when changing between S and D) and they have just called me to say they are replacing the exhaust How did your fix go? All ok after? No issues with them sneaking a...

    Sportback Michellin ps4s?

    Hi guys - For those running MPS 4S's - I'm going to change my OEM P-Zeros (255F,235R) for a set of 4S's. I'm going for 245/35/R19/91Y I've just called up my local tire place to order a set of 4, and they've asked me if that is the "DT1" (other option being "MI") Edit: Googling points to DT1...

    Facelift New exhaust due to valve stick

    Hmm, I also have a similar squeak - I thought it was transmission related as it's most audible during coast down in 1st gear, specifically as the transmission "disengages" at very low speed. It's also repeatable when sitting still, swapping between drive and sports; just as you've mentioned...

    Facelift RS3 service costs

    I did have a read to be fair. Only other mention I could see at ~20K was spark plugs. Hence my question about anything else. Dealers was mainly FASH vs specialist, hence my question about VW :smiley:

    Facelift RS3 service costs

    Hi all, general service question. My oil change light has popped up at about 17.5K (after about 18months of ownership) I had my oil changed by an local ex-audi tech at 10K. But would like to book into a dealer for this first proper service. First question, apart from the oil, should anything...

    Facelift Pirelli Tyre Defects - Response

    + 1. I drive about 250 miles a week, London <> Essex, mainly motorway / A roads. I got about 14K out of my fronts before replacing them, no pics but the wear was pretty even, maybe slightly biased towards the inner edge. Unfortunately, I got a puncture in one of the rear's sidewall the other...

    RS models delayed until 2019?

    Potentially hot off the press, but nothing comes up on Google? This is directly from Northampton Audi today... My dad, who has an been trying to get some updates on his new S4 order, just got told this by our dealer over the phone today. Email confirmation followed, extract / summary below...

    Facelift Post Pics Of Your Facelift RS3 8V In Here

    Could not agree more! I drove my PFL S3 in manual + dynamic for 99% of my 30k miles. I like being in control, using it to engine brake etc. I've just picked up my new FL RS3 and wanted to post a word of warning to those who also like to use the manual mode: In my old DSG box, it would only...
