hey all.. long story short.. I picked up my 2018 RS3 last October and due to work etc I haven't really driven it long journeys much to the point where this week (today in fact) I've just rolled over 808miles..
I've been trying to take it easy for the run-in but have had the odd splurge of right foot every now and again.. today I noticed on school run that now I've seem to hit the magic number it really wants to go!
last week I did a 210 mile round trip to an office and hit 750miles and achieved a staggering 36.4mpg!
since then it feels different, almost like the brakes have been let off and also sounds much louder (in a good way) engine sounds less 'tappy' too.. I guess this is just wearing in but feels GREAT ! its like a 'run in' restrictor has been lifted ? ( I guess this is a placebo)
now if I could just stop that TCS light flickering when I put my foot down
just thought Id share my experiences..(loving every minute)
