    Theft prevention

    Thanks. To be fair, we live in a nice part of Surrey and the car had been parked on the drive fine for 2.5 years before the theft. I think we were just unlucky to get targeted by a ring operating around the M25. Anyway - if you only do one thing then make sure it's to set your house alarm at...

    Theft prevention

    We had ours stolen from the drive earlier this year. Thieves broke into the house at night and took the keys which were stored downstairs. We had a steering lock but that was only use as a visible deterrent when parked away from home as they got the key for that too. Having been through this, my...

    Red RS3 stolen last night - Oxted, Surrey: HJ72 OUK

    Yeah - probably spam. New user and 1 post did seem suspicious but I was prepared to try it with a temp email.

    What happened to that message from "brownpanther" this morning? I was going to respond but it's been removed.

    Red RS3 stolen last night - Oxted, Surrey: HJ72 OUK

    Thanks all. I checked the Audi app first thing and there was no location shown. I called up Audi support and they said they had some location information but they could only share it with the police directly. It took some hours and chasing to get someone assigned to the case and then they were...

    Red RS3 stolen last night - Oxted, Surrey: HJ72 OUK

    Sad day - woke up to discover that thieves broke in last night and stole the keys and the car off the drive. Probably long gone by now but please keep an eye out as it's quite distinctive. Thanks.

    8.5Y RS3

    100% agree with this. The comfort mode is the best ride I've experienced in a performance car.

    Spotted one

    Impressive. I've literally only seen 2 ever! I guess I'm not observant enough. I see loads of the earlier ones about. I get the impression Audi have sold a lot less 8Y's by comparison.

    Thanks for the info. I thought you were selling yours second hand.

    Finished Carbon RS3 project in Poland

    Hi, a few questions that might help... 1. How does it fix onto the existing spolier? 2. Would this be shipping from Poland? 3. Why are you selling? Thanks.

    Question for the RS3 8Y facelift owners

    I assume there's still no hot air from the vents for at least 5 mins?! It would be nice if they did something about this as it's easily the most annoying thing about the car.

    Spotted a Kyalami Green Saloon in Westeram, Kent on Saturday. Meeting of the launch colours :)

    8.5Y RS3

    I agree that the adaptive suspension is a fantastic option for the UK. I had it before in my M3 but even comfort was pretty firm. Audi seem to have got a better balance here as comfort really smooth for daily driving. Plus you can still firm it up when conditions suit. I've been impressed with...

    Car insurance up !!

    Sounds like an anomaly but if you're sure all your details are correct then it's a steal!

    8.5Y RS3

    Looks amazing. I need those seats! Wish they were options on the pre facelift.

    Car insurance up !!

    I'm more flabbergasted at the £240 you managed to score from them last year. I think you were due quite a correction and you got one! Hopefully Meerkats will get that down a bit. I think I paid around £650 in October.

    8.5Y RS3

    100% on this. I'd never had an electric tailgate or matrix headlights but they are both super useful. They way the main beam leaves pools of darkness around the other cars is genuinely genius. The one I'll always wonder about is the 360 cameras. They sound very helpful for parking and alloy...

    Finished Carbon RS3 project in Poland

    Looks great. Same colour combo as mine. I assume you started with a Vorsprung? Personally, I'd pass on the bonnet and canards but I like the other bits. It would be great to get the parts list.

    RS3 8Y General Discussion Thread.

    Quite tempted by one of these as they would be hard to trace if you remove it before service. Audi would really need to go forensic to find it in the logging. Did it come with RS3 specific installation instructions? I've read they only provide general guidance, not tailored to each application.
