    Thoughts on this one (and moving from an FL5)

    I can't remember off the top of my head what SW version my car has (built Apr'22) but apart from the VC changing display occasionally, I'm probably quite lucky and was told so when I enquired about the dealer applying the latest version. They told me themselves that the software was rubbish and...

    8Y Saloon Boot Liner

    The rigid bootliner from the 8V saloon fits the 8Y as well. I swapped mine over along with the rubber mats when I traded my old car in.

    Mileage blockers

    Actually I don't vote as it's a waste of time and all you get is a Zionist Occupied Government anyway - two cheeks of the same ar*e supporting a genocidal regime. Politics aside - cars with this body kit generally do represent a certain group of people which is evident on quite a few youtube...

    Brake pads

    When enquiring about a set of Hawk pads for mine I was told the RS4/5 calipers are the same as the 8Y as well.

    Are these cars not generally recognisable by the Maxton tat that a certain demographic fit to them?

    Safety recall 97HO

    I got the letter today. Just been out to check and the plug is secure. What annoys me is that my car was in on the 19th Sep for several days and nothing was mentioned at the time. The car won't be back at the steelers for a long time unless it needs more warranty work as I get it serviced by a...

    Car insurance up !!

    I went with Aviva this time around - £640 compared to £511 last year. I tried Saga they wanted £1200 off me lol. The insurance industry is taking a hammering at the moment due to a number of factors - EV's, a certain medical experiment that was in some cases forced on the world's population...

    RS3 8Y General Discussion Thread.

    Exactly. Just like the TV detectors vans, put there to scare people.

    Tyre Wear

    You can't. The front wheels are 9" 265/30/19 ET25 and the rears are 8" 245/35 ET46

    17” or 18” 8V wheels for 8Y RS3?

    The front wheel is ET25. I wouldn't worry about kerbing the front wheels - the 265/30 tyres provide ample rim protection. 18s would be tight if they fit. I wouldn't bother as you're changing the dynamics of the car and you would need to inform your insurance company.

    Cold start 'normal' behaviour or a Gremlin ?

    Mine is the same. I like to annoy my neighbours so I always start mine with the valves open and let it idle for a minute or so before I set off.
