    Sat Nav Map in instrument cluster not showing

    Oh right I see - must have got confused as I know some other models come with the map as standard even without the Virtual Cockpit so must have got them mixed up Yup thats correct in that the display is monochrome

    Sat Nav Map in instrument cluster not showing

    Hi all - got a 2017 facelift A6 without the virtual cockpit but was under the impression that the standard instrument display would still show a miniature version of the map? it shows a compass currently and directions in the form of arrows but no map? Apparently its in a hidden menu within...

    RS3 countdown to configurator

    Someone correct me if I am wrong but isnt this restrictive list of options due to EU regulations and the tests that the cars need to go through to meet those regulations? Restricting them meant that they need to undergo less testing?? Something along those lines anyway i remember reading somewhere!

    RS3 countdown to configurator

    If they ever do - the lack of flexibility has done a lot of people over - even mercedes force packs so you cant spec certain things individually and like yousaid if you can’t get what you want then what’s the point - its a shame for sure and audi will lose a number of customers this way.

    RS3 UK Pricing and Specifications

    Sorry before someone corrects my numbers above, small typo, mind was elsewhere! Lol. Works at around 17% depreciation on those numbers. But agreed, many factors to play out and just like we never saw the pandemic coming and the shortage of new cars/high used car prices it is very difficult to...

    RS3 UK Pricing and Specifications

    How do you guys picture the depreciation on the new model? With current 8V models still fetching good money, do you think this will help the 8Y retain its value in the years to come? I remember someone mentioning on one of the 8V threads that they lost just under £8k in 2 years which works at...

    Nice spec - daytona grey does look like it goes really well with the design :thumbs up: £189? Must have been a big deposit. What's the balloon payment at the end?

    RS3 countdown to configurator

    What spec did you end up going for mate? I think the Alu pack has always looked good on the S and RS models so its a shame that there isn't much flexibility in options - perhaps this is due to the chip shortage so may see this change in the future but no one knows when and if this will happen...

    Some good discounts (if applicable for you)

    Surely for insurance reasons circumstances can change and the insurance would need to be indicative of who drives the car rather than who owns it.. a bit like a lease/financed car, owned by someone else but insured by the appropriate party?

    Some good discounts (if applicable for you)

    it also mentions friends and family? How does that work and is it the same level of discount?

    Replacement Wheels

    These suit the car really nice mate - some might say they suit the 8Y better than the 8V :) do you have any more pictures from other angles? I noticed you have dechromed it since aswell..

    Options not offered in the UK

    We shall have to wait and see how the manufacturer’s respond after the chips become available. And the way the used car market is at the moment with the sky high prices who knows what will happen to their values in the future when news cars finally start making progress at the factory. You...

    looks like we now also say goodbye to the panoramic sunroof on standard trim, s line trim etc. it appears that you can only get a panoramic sunroof with the vorsprung editions! what on earth are they doing with these options?!

    Facelift FL Tick / Rattle

    I believe there is a recall on the exhaust rattle mate and it would involve replacing the whole backbox Best thing is to take it down to your local dealer and demonstrate it to them and the service technician rather than rely on them trying to find it themselves

    Anyone ordered a new S3 yet?

    Has anyone commented on the fact there is no more manual mode? Or is that not the case? I believe there are still paddles but if its anything like the 8v it will override back into automatic mode after a few seconds?

    All new S3

    Indeed no roof bar options but they do have in Germany and like you have said you cant have both roof rails and pan roof, its either one or the other

    Collected my new Audi S3 2021 Saloon today!

    The 35 engine as much as people say it doesn’t sound great (nothing really does after the introduction of the OPF) is a lot more alive and “easier” to drive. Doesn’t need to be pushed and has that low end torque which the 8V S3 was missing, cant say about the new one as i havent driven one
