190 TSI I meant (predictive spelling).

I though one connection had to be made from underneath after jacking up the car. It was this that put me off getting a box for Mrs Mustards SEAT Leon 190 this.

Had mine nicked in the same was earlier in the year after owning it 3 weeks. It was found the next day but spent 4 months in police compound and bodyshop before I got it back. Initial feeling were to buy a car that was a lot less attractive to thieves. This was going to be difficult for a...

The genuine Audi key you leave where it can easily be found doesn't necessarily have to be one that will operate your car.

They already have done. And it bothered me very much. But the car was recovered, repaired and is back in my life now albeit with much improved home security. What I was trying to say was, I would rather accept the risk of owning a car I wanted that's considered to be more desirable to thieves...

According to that article it's only one in a hundred that's stolen. Shame it was mine. Any 'nice' car is going to be of interest to thieves. So you either have one and take security seriously or you have a car that's of little interest to them, which will also be of little interest to you.

The two pedals are not being pressed at the same time. No, not touching the accelerator until brake has been released.

Off topic slightly, how do you guys with the 190 find the performance compared to the 1.8 petrol or 184ps diesel? Assumimg you've driven those.

Same. Left foot lightly on brake, release & mash accelerator. Will try it again in sport mode with tickover revs above 1000, sure it will help.

It was in individual with engine set to dynamic, but as the car had been turned off and on again, the 1100(?)rpm tickover had reverted to sub 1k revs, so I suppose the same as comfort.

Graph demonstrates the lag when pulling away from rest without launch control (S3 S tronic Sportback). Measured on Racelogic Performance box. 0-60 was 5.41s, but I do have all the heavy options on the car. You can just about spot the gearchanges

Annoying isn't it. Even Mrs. Mustards Seat Leon with standard speakers has an equaliser.

Feel and have experienced your pain. It took about 6 weeks for new locks & keys to come in once ordered for mine.

Drove the ****** thing again for the first time in 4 months since it was stolen & subsequently found & repaired. Not a day too soon, I was beginning to bond with the Peugeot 1.6 diesel courtesy car.

There's this if you can bear to listen to these two.

Didn't know that, on the pre-face lift I thought only the the quattro with the 6 speed S-Tronic had LC, assumed FL was the same.

They don't cause any damage, unless you're clumsy, they are lined with felt inside. It is however a complete faff to have to keep putting it on & taking it off and storing it in the car (quite bulky). If they're breaking in for your car key, they'll be requesting the Diskloc key too.

Launch control

Don't want mine back but don't have any choice. After 15 weeks it's been repaired and is coming back Friday. WBAC valuation is 7k below what I paid for it in May. Don't know whether to take the hit or keep the best car I've owned.

Gonna get an ///M badge on the back of my S3
