    Recommended New Tires 2018 RS3?

    Looking to replace my original tires. Intend to do city highway mostly and possibly trying lapping but would not be too often. Seriously looking at Michelin Pilot 4S. Would this tire survive some lapping without wearing out quickly? Is anyone happy with this tire? Can it also handle heating up...

    Worn alcantara on steering wheel

    It is just worn down over time. Still looks ok after my application of the the leather treatment, but I used very little so can't assure anyone that it would look ok if lots more of the stuff is applied.

    Worn alcantara on steering wheel

    Fibres worn out. Kind of looks shiny like leather but scratches much more than leather. Tried a spot with some leather hydration cream for furniture and seems to have done the trick. Too soon to tell how will be down the road. Can post a picture a bit latter if comes back, but seems better now.

    Worn alcantara on steering wheel

    Looking for suggestions to hide scratch marks that now are appearing on the alcantara portion of my RS3 steering wheel. The hairy material has worn down over the years and looks like leather but does not hold up very well to marks from finger nails etc. Thanks, Rob

    Pirelli Tyres - Starting to break up after only 3K miles WTF!!!

    I just posted a few hours ago asking for tyre recomendations as I have Pirelli P Zero tires that have 20,000 km on them and are also cracking between the threads. Mine are 5 years old and have been stored indoors over the winters. Perhaps normal for a 5 seasons on them, but seems odd to me for...

    Tyre recommendations please

    I'm looking for new summer tyres for my 2018 RS3, as they are starting to crack after 5 years of use. I currently have Pirelli P Zero and would like to know if I should replace them with the same thing or do any of you dislike these tyres and prefer other options? My dealer mentioned possibly...

    Any Pro tuner Garages in Ottawa Gatineau Region

    Awesome thanks. Checked out their web site and amazing how much extra hp and torque one can gain just from their re-flash Stag 1-2. Garage looks very good.

    Any Pro tuner Garages in Ottawa Gatineau Region

    Thanks Steve, will put them on my list to contact them. There is a link on their website mentioning some of the car's they have tuned, but it does not work. Looks like a great place to bring an Audi for maintenance.

    Audi Pre Sense Warning - Help Please

    Here's an update. The dealer finally identified the problem after the fault code came back on two days ago following the clearing of all the old codes three weeks ago. Don't know the history of the car and why there were old fault codes in the first place as I purchased this 2018 car back in...

    Audi Pre Sense Warning - Help Please

    Thanks, worth considering. It started to act up during that time. For the last two months have been using the car more regularly, however last week the garage erased all the codes that came up and since then the warning light has not come back. I've been taking the car out almost every day now...

    Audi Pre Sense Warning - Help Please

    Just brought the car in for a second time and the dealer ran the diagnosis and found some codes but did not adjust or repair anything and said car seems fine. The pre sense yellow light comes on intermittently and does not stay on and it can take 5 minutes to as much as an hour or more for it to...

    Acceleration in different driving modes

    Has anyone come across acceleration times comparing different drive modes such as Auto/D vs Auto/S vs Dynamic/S on the RS3 or any other model?

    New to Forum and a question

    That's reassuring and good to know that even though it's an automatic it has a rev limiter. Tried googling to find this out with no success. Glad you replied :) after I realized my typo 'Net' to Forum, instead of 'New' to Forum, was thinking what did I do, what a way to get started on the...

    I'm a new owner of a 2018 RS3 since March. Very satisfied with the new slightly used RS and the way it drives and performs. Looking forward to enjoying chatting with all of you on this forum. I hope you can help me out with a bit of a concern. After I just got the car and being unfamiliar at...
