    RS3 8Y General Discussion Thread.

    I used it and then made it my actual insurance. Haven't had to claim on it fortunately, but renewed a couple of months ago and it went down slightly. They were very competitive when I got the car which is mostly why I went with them - quite a few insurers including sponsors on here gave me...

    Drive Select Issues

    As a getaway driver you should probably have the engine running sooner, just in case ;) Don't forget to disable start/stop too.

    8Y RS3 Gremlins thread.

    Do the cars update system (for want of a better term) software OTA or just maps? My wife's new Polo GTI seems to update everything OTA, but I've only ever seen the RS3 tell me it was updating maps.

    8Y RS3 Gremlins thread.

    Yeah I've had it once or twice, happy to write it off as systems starting up and communicating though... as long as it gets going within a second or two I'm not too worried. The warning triangle appears as one of the "lights" which "self-tests" when it starts up I think? I assume the...

    Spotted one tonight.

    Saw one at a farm shop in Somerset the other weekend, a grey (no idea which grey ;) ) sportback with a 72 plate. Managed to parking-buddy with it and chatted to the owner briefly :)

    Spotted a Kyalami sportback going through Taunton yesterday, very nice :) (I was the grinning pedestrian waiting to cross the road)

    OBDeleven/Coding

    One downside of the Scandinavian DRLs (as done by OBD11) seems to be that now I have the "side lights" icon in the dash display all the time. Makes sense that it's the car telling me I have my lights on to comply with my local "Scandinavian" laws I guess, but a bit annoying :) Might take it...

    App showing incorrect info TPI

    Ah interesting, I had this not long ago. App said the car was unlocked with all the windows and sunroof open, which was a concern as it isn't parked near my house so I had to go over to it and double-check! It was fine, chalked it up to a software issue which looks to be the case.

    Yeah I popped the bonnet (just pulling the lever is enough right? Doesn't need to be more open than that?) Time to price up OBD11 then maybe :)

    I had a quick look at this yesterday with VCDS, and found the equivalent entries, but the module wouldn't accept them, presumably because the security code isn't the same on the 8Y (it didn't like it). Did you have any luck?

    Did you get it sorted? Could you share the coding?

    Driving modes

    Admittedly in the "using the gearbox" section rather than the driving dynamics section, and about as specific as "gives the car a tighter setup" :) but it's there.

    Things you did to your 8Y RS3 thread.

    Same, did my first launch at the weekend and got 3.4 from the on-board timer.

    Think you can only do it on the MMI. You can add it to "Favourites" if you press-hold on the row for the setting though, which makes it slightly quicker to get to.
