    RS3 (PFL) vs RS3 (FL)

    So I'm looking at jumping into an RS3 for 3 or 4 months and not sure whether I should get a PFL or spend the extra money and get a FL. I don't expect I'd lose a huge amount when I come on to sell either. With that said does anyone think the PFL or FL price will drop drastically in the next 3 /...

    Wanted 2015+ RS3, 35k~ Budget

    Yep. That's why I posted 2015+ with flexibility since a lot of 2017+ are at 35k+. Could stretch a little bit if something came up. A 15/16 without the Virtual Cockpit and saloon would do me if I find the right spec with everything else.

    Wanted 2015+ RS3, 35k~ Budget

    Ideal Spec would be Saloon, Virtual Cockpit, Supersport Seats, Pan Roof and B&O. Appreciate I probably won't get this spec for that budget so open to some sort of variation of above.

    Facelift S3 8v New Front Tyres

    235/35 R19 on front and back. Initially the software issue appeared to fix things. It was a lot more responsive and the boost finally hit max. But then the traction light started coming on again and the wheels were spinning...

    Facelift S3 8v New Front Tyres

    Just an update. Was in at Audi and they claimed it was just a software issue which has now been fixed. Collecting it in the next few hours so I guess we'll see if it has been rectified.

    Facelift S3 8v New Front Tyres

    Emailed the manager with a whole list of complaints. Will see how it goes. It's put me off keeping the vehicle at this point having to deal with these problems only having owned it for a day.

    Facelift S3 8v New Front Tyres

    Hmm so just home. Just check and the front tyres they fitted are summer tyres while the rear set are winter tyres. Could this be the issue? Seems like the wheels just spin under any sort of boost. Driving up hill normally and the car downshifting to get up the hill causes the traction light to...

    Facelift S3 8v New Front Tyres

    I get the traction light and I believe the front wheel were spinning (will need to double check). Sadly cant go back to the garage I got the car from (to get it fixed anyway) as they are in NI and I'm in Scotland. I will definitely push them to cover any costs though (although I assume they'll...

    Facelift S3 8v New Front Tyres

    On a ferry just now only gave it a bit and the tyre pressure light came on so easier off. Checking the pressure when I get off the ferry and I'll see if I notice anything you mentioned.

    Facelift S3 8v New Front Tyres

    Ah so the dealership just get the haldex oil changed at their ferrari dealership (they dont have an audi one). I take it they wouldve missed the pump getting clogged up?

    Facelift S3 8v New Front Tyres

    Just picked up my 2018 fl S3 saloon from an used car dealership. They let me know they had fitted 2 new front tyres just before I picked the car up. Driving the car home I noticed loss of traction in sport mode when I put the foot down. Beautiful sunny warm day and I had been driving about 20...

    Buying a Cat D 8V S3

    Interesting point you make. Would something like the AA checks or RAC checks for £200 be enough or do you think it would need more? Also the MOT on Jan 2018 had 45k miles and Jan 2019 had 46k miles. So I'm assuming sometime after the first MOT it was written off.

    Buying a Cat D 8V S3

    Yeah for the exact same spec non Cat D is 4k more, so not sure whether to save up for a bit longer just to avoid the risk.

    Buying a Cat D 8V S3

    So I'm looking into buying a S3 and one caught my eye. 2015, Sepang Blue with 47k miles. Has supersports seats and pan roof. Price is 17k. It has a full service history but the dealer claims he doesn't knowwhat caused the accident but assures it has been fixed to "highest" standard. Just...
