Ep3 type R or 330ci with less reliability issues!
Yes my S3 gives me grief occasionally and thankfully I am reasonably handy with a spanner but I love her to death... even Welly loves his S3... most days ;P
I realise this is a forum and quite a few only use it when there's something wrong, so giving a false impression......but there does seem like an awful lot of things to go wrong. If i do decide to purchase one guess i'll have to go in with open eyes....and wallet. Dont think i can be bothered with the hassle though as it will be a daily driver for me, which requires reliability!
mines a daily driver, 50mile round trip commute, nothing gone wrong with her. Yes, this is a forum where people come to discuss moding or problems with their cars. Not many people write about how their commute to work was as uneventful as ever like myself. But here we go.
This morning i got up, late again! So i jumped in my car started her up first time. Started my commute, she warmed up. And then i raped her all the way to work. And then i got out of the car with a big smile on my face until i saw the front door of the office, and thought just 8.5 hours until i get to drive all the way back and live happily ever after with my S3 Been doing this for a little over 2 years now and all is well
on this forum there have only been two catastrophic failures (as far as I know). welly & leggy

I can't see any rod failures, I am not saying it does bit happen but these forums are a microcosm of the real world
To Niffty951,
My 3rd con rod after a stage 1 Custom Code remap. 70k on the clock 2003 full service history and can assure you does not get abused.

That was "ment" to be 275BHP n 265 lbs.
So what do you think about that?
My £309 remap cost me £1700, £2200 if I didnt supply my own con rod and piston, oh, and thats £1700 after getting the map taken back off and refunded.
The guy didnt even make it to the main road to test drive it! Hit it hard to pull away and POP! Rolled back in tickin like a wind up toy.
I haven't got time to forum trawl
