Think you’ve read it wrong mate…
The idea is to buy an 8P1 and convert to 8P2 S-line or S3 – doing this il be buying 8P2 bonnet and bumper so no doubt they’ll come in a different colour – however once wrapped in a vinyl obviously no one will know
Doing this...
Im in the same boat here mate, my budget is around 7-8k too!
Im more interested in the car mechanically than anything else! I want low mileage and service history - dont care if its the bobby basic model or the split grill - will be making it a 8P2 s line anyway and the conversion looks...
Thanks dude, looks like good stuff! Will definitely be using it, nice and cheap too
60mpg is insane haha, I cant wait! Roadtrip to Amserdam is first on the list!
On PD's site they quote 50bhp increase over standard mate
Messaged these this morning and they are brilliant at replying quickly! Quoted me £499 inclusive of VAT, all labour costs and 2 hour dyno tuning session (lifetime warranty too!) seems brilliant - just need to buy an A3 now! LOL
As regards to the DSG gearbox guys, are their any tuning restrictions?
Also, if someone could answer my previous questions from yesterday i'd really appreciate it
Thanks
Dan
Sorry for the really random question folks….
When I bought my RX8 to make sure it was healthy I carried out a compression test (Rotary engine test) to make sure the engine was a good one – as with all rotaries loss of compression = eventual total engine failure/failure of seals...
Thanks for all the input people, really appreciate everyones comments
I realise that its unfair to expect so much of the Audi and to try and compare it to a RWD Petrol, thats just wrong. Im looking forward to the ease of tuning with the A3, thats something that doesnt happen with the 8 as its...
Good write up mate, thanks for that
The running costs of the 140 just seem brilliant - a dream for such a beautiful car!
How much is a full tank of fuel btw? Do you use premium diesel?
Again, brilliant advice Paul! Will be remembering that definitely
60MPG!! ****** hell haha, most i've...
I wasnt sure if an LSD would be needed or not, as the 140 isnt the best 0-60 I just wasnt sure if it still had a problem with traction from standing start? From experience of hot hatches with adequate power in the front wheels, I just dont wanna be chewing up tyres!
Yeah the RX8 is a lovely...
Appreciate the fast reply mate...
Got to say im a little gutted at the lack of LSD but I think i've been spoilt with my rx8 and the standard equipment it comes with (Xenons, LSD, heated seats ETC) so the A3 is going to take some getting used to, but over 400 miles to a tank will be seriously...
Hi People,
Story of things so far .
Im changing my car at the end of June and either will be going for A3 or A4 whatever I choose will be the 140 TDI version as economy is the only reason im changing! Im currently getting less than 20mpg and paying over £400 for road tax! Needs must...
Im glad to hear that the tuning isnt really affected. Any posts will be definitely welcome :)
Well guess im going to find out on the day. That will really affect my decision to purchase the car, if it DOESNT have paddles then im not in need of a test drive. As I wont be wanting the car, so im...
Okay, think ive found THE car :)
Spoke to the garage about it, and going to test drive tomorrow
BUT im so confused :-/ it states "paddles" for gear changing as its DSG, but ive read on this forum that paddles are only on tronic gearbox???
Please someone explain:
* If this car has the...
Really appreciate the explanation :) Im sure that it would be easy for someone to modify the lights and rectify this issue? They look so nice!
No-one could ever call them chavvy or anything of that nature (as I would if someone had them on a Ford Focus lol) but on an actual new Audi! Yes...
Okay people im bumping this thread a little for some answers after reading through it ...
The link for the black lights off ebay (german) If I ordered those would they not fit a 8P Audi A3? im confused as to what (RHD) means??? Would they not fit in place of the exsisting light or is it...
