    Petrol

    Tried all sorts, now I just stick with Tesco 99 as it's cheapest and closest to me.

    Blow dry

    The missus picked one of these up for me: EDIT: Can't seem to link to Amazon for some reason. Anyway it's a `MotoDryer - Vehicle Dryer and Duster for Detailing` on Amazon. Been using it for a while now, does the trick. I give the car a quick whip around with it to get some of the annoying bits...

    Facelift Launch Control Beep

    Yep you guys were right. I was being too much of a pansy on the brake :racer:

    Facelift Launch Control Beep

    haha well that's embarassing. I'll give it another go later and be a bit more heavy footed and see what happens.

    Facelift Launch Control Beep

    I tried doing launch control for the 2nd time the other day. Made sure the car was up to temperature, traction control off, in dynamic and S on the gearbox, etc. However, when I put my foot on the brake and then place my foot on the accelerator, the rev's do not move and the car just makes a...

    8V VCDS Mods

    Well, it turned out my issue was the phone that I was using. Whilst the Dev's obviously support the Android version I have, the screen size was too small. I kept getting this screen pop up and didn't know what to do as it let me select my car but I couldn't get out of the pop-up screen after or...

    8V VCDS Mods

    Sounds like a positive experience haha. We’ll I’ll give it a another go with a more up to date android phone and if that still fails. I may be asking to pay you a visit! :D

    Yep. Not sure if it makes a difference but it was a wifi hotspot from my iPhones 4g connection.

    8V VCDS Mods

    Ok so I received the device today. Paired it via Bluetooth. Ignition is turned on in the car, I hit connect and it’s just stuck at “Connecting” for about 20mins. I’m assuming this isn’t normal? Anyone had this trouble before? I’m guessing it maybe the cheapo android phone I had laying around...

    8V VCDS Mods

    Might be a silly question but I hope someone can confirm. I want to try the exhaust valve mod (valves always open) on a 2018 S3. I assume that I'm still able to do this with OBDEleven?

    What have you done to your 8V today?

    Blimey! I did an 8 hour drive yesterday, mostly M25/M4. I managed 39.8 in the end. I thought that was really impressive!

    Spotters Thread For 8V Chassis

    I was in Radstock yesterday. Came across a nice 17' plate black edition S3 sportback in blue. We were both leaving a supermarket car park at the same time.

    What have you done to your 8V today?

    I tried launch control for the first time today. The thing flew like s**t off a shovel, I wasn't quite expecting the initial acceleration! All good fun but not something I'd use too often unless showing friends or just fancying experiencing a bit of g-force.

    Facelift Post Pics Of Your Facelift A3/S3 8V In Here

    Picked mine up 2 weeks tomorrow. I've just moved house and seemed to have "lost" my camera so I took a few pics on the iPhone instead. Pics don't do the S3 justice, they all look so good in person. Absolutely love it so far!!

    Yep same for me. They had left a bottle of 0w-30 shell helix in the boot.

    Might be buying my S3 today

    S3 Black Edition - Sportback Tech pack Advanced Key Folding Mirrors Metallic Paint Factory order. Initially they had matched the carwow discount for me (£4800 i think). Then I put a car on order with him, there was an issue with this order and I had to attach myself to another factory order...

    Might be buying my S3 today

    Yeh that's exactly what I was going for too. There wasn't any other options that were worthwhile enough to justify having to pay the extra tax.

    Might be buying my S3 today

    Yeh the original price (OTR) was £39975. haha definitely, it's a bit like buying a new build house, no point in comparing who got what deal. As long as you're happy with the deal you got and enjoy it, it's all good :D

    Might be buying my S3 today

    I just purchased my car via Ipswich Audi. It however, was a new S3. The discount was ~£6700. Get the gap insurance elsewhere. In fact, all of the "extras" you can get done elsewhere for cheaper. Don't tell them your price, get the best deal first they say they can give you. Then pop down to...
