And was it worth it? I'm not looking for big numbers, just a bit more smoothness and if possible, better MPG! Anyone with a map able to get more than 280 miles to a full tank?!

Nigel (NHN) has just finished removing my old Symphony 2 and putting in a shiny new RNS-E into my 3.2, done in a couple hours right in my office car park. Even did a few other things above and beyond like fixing some wonky bits of trim, ensuring my existing Parrot kit worked and doing some VCDS...

Am currently debating getting the RNS-E retrofitted but am curious to the actual differences between the older and newer RNS-E units. I know the screen is higher quality, the unit has SDHC support and a faster processor but does anyone have any pictures of the screen quality between the mk1 and...

Things aren't always as black and white as that really, but yeah I am aware that a V6 isn't an economical runabout and I how smooth the drive is and the noise is great fun! My 8L's figures were roughly on the money with Audi's figures but the V6 is off by about 5mpg so was just checking that it...

Wow, that's pretty awful. What is this software update and can I get it ?

I've just recently come from an 8L S3 to an 8P 3.2 quattro DSG and finding the fuel economy to be erm, less than I expected. My commute to work is 10 miles, 2 are town and 8 are NSL and over the last couple of tanks I've gotten 22-24mpg average. (I reset computer 2 every fill up). The same...

Odd question but I was just curious... is it possible to get a regular slush box automatic in the 8P A3?

I currently have in my A3 the rather basic Symphony 2 with 6 CD slot and tape player hooked up to a BOSE system. I am umming and erring over getting the RNS-E but it's a little too pricey for me (and I only use sat nav on my phone once in a blue moon) so was looking at the Concert 2+ headunits...

Where did ya get it from mate?

Yo, as per my previous thread I've bought an 8P A3 that's currently fitted with the Symphony 2 headunit. I'm umming and erring between getting an RNS-E, Dynavin or an aftermarket unit but was wondering if anyone had gone the aftermarket route and could post a picture of their dash? My only...

It's a 55 plate.

As title, looking at a 3.2 V6 Sport tomorrow, has roughly 45,000 miles on the clock and is up for £7,700 at a garage. Any big services due at that mileage? am I right in thinking that the V6 is chain driven? I am going to look in the service book for DSG and Haldex servicing which should have...

My BAM S3 has not been behaving as I expect at WOT recently, there are times it feels underpowered (but smooth) when accelerating away but other times it almost decides that its an automatic 'kick down' and the power will surge back (i.e smooth, slow increase to 3500rpm then all of a sudden the...

Currently have an S3 so am used to the xenon headlamps and the semi decent full BOSE stereo with the little subwoofer and whatnot. Looking at the 8P for a replacement but cars with xenons and BOSE seem quite rare? Is there a trim level I should be looking at to maximise my chances of finding...

6.5" GPS SAT NAV DVD MP3 SD USB For AUDI A3 / S3 *NEW* | eBay UK Things like that - they appear to be shaped to fit the dash but for what I know it could look awful in the dash and have the reliability of a K series rover!
