    Facelift Drive Select

    The Drive Select Mode and all of its settings will stick between engine starts with the exception of the throttling mapping. It will reset back to the less aggressive D shift mode rather than the sportier S mode. I understand this is related to how the engine is government rated for fuel...

    Keep S3 or switch to RS3?

    Presumably you’ve driven both S3 and RS3. What are your comparison impressions?

    Does slowing down with cruise control on apply brake lights?

    8V VCDS Mods
