    MMI Software Update 3801 to 3853 - Experiences?

    I have a 2023 RS3 Vorsprung which came with MMI Software Version 3801 from the factory. I know this version is more stable than the earlier versions, but I still have the system periodically crash on me and freeze, requiring a reset each time. I understand Audi have now released Version 3853...

    Akrapovic exhaust - why is so much wiring required??

    Glad it isn’t just me - here’s the link to the instructions. https://d1sfhav1wboke3.cloudfront.net/ImageServer/Apim2media/Documents/21805/7210041a-7997-42c6-9c1d-ea541029080d.pdf It seems that it requires a Control Kit to be fitted which includes a Controller TNG and CAN sniffer…well beyond my...

    Akrapovic exhaust - why is so much wiring required??

    A little bit of daydreaming, but I saw Akrapovic now offer a GPF back exhaust for the 8Y. From the installation instructions on their website, it seems to involve a lot of additional wiring, which confused me - shouldn’t you just be able swap the value controller units over and you’re up and...

    RS3 Sportback 8Y - New Owner Questions

    I've just taken delivery of a new RS3 Sportback and just had a couple of questions which I hope the members might be able to help with. The first question is about the steering - I'm struggling to notice any real difference in feel and weighting between 'comfort' and 'dynamic' - is this...

    Review of MPS4s

    Of those who have switched to the MPS4s and stuck with the staggered setup how many have had issues with the TC? I ask as I have an FL Sportback as I really don’t think the Pirelli’s do the car justice and Goodyear have no immediate plans to launch the Supersport in 255/30 R19.

    Review of MPS4s

    Amazing! Were you running the Pirelli R02 before? Appreciate that you’ve only just changed, but what are your initial impressions and have you had any TC issues since changing?

    Review of MPS4s

    Is anyone thinking of trying the new Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport? They have released the 235/35 r19 but not the 255/30 r19 sizing at this point - but I understand they are only just trickling the tyre into the market

    Brembo brake pads

    I contacted the UK importer of Brembo Sport a couple of months back and they told me that the current pad wear indicator isn’t compatible with the FL, so I could either retrofit the current lead into the pads when changing them or wait for the new pads to be released...but they didn’t have due...

    More info about Audi Sport performance parts

    Can you share the details of what Audi dealers are able to supply the Performance Parts? I contacted Tom at Crewe Audi earlier today and he advised that these aren’t supplied in the UK. I’m interested to know what the cost of the 2 piece front discs are as well as the sport front pads.

    FL Pirelli alternatives

    I’ve been following the discussions about Pirelli tyres and wear and wanted to know what alternatives people have tried on a factory staggered set-up. I know from personal experience that the P4S is a great tyre, but it seems to cause TC issues, so I’m particularly interested to know if anyone...

    Sat Nav Map Update?

    Just logged into MyAudi to see if there is a map update for my FL and I can’t see any options for checking the current available map option and downloading the update. What am I missing??
