    Facelift Pirelli Tyre Defects - Response

    I know tyres are considered to be consumables, like disc pads and clutches but there is also a safety aspect here as well. There also appears to be to many other owners with the same issue for Audi to just dismiss it as a one off. Perhaps a phone call to the dealership first, don’t bother with...

    Facelift Pirelli Tyre Defects - Response

    I think it’s an issue you should be taking up with Audi U.K. if you bought a Sony TV from a store and it went wrong would you contact Sony in Japan or go to the supplying company.

    Is this an issue.

    Not necessarily. I find that when I first start the car I am normally in Park and sometimes in Neutral. I find the boost gauge is showing full boost on idle. When I pull away the boost gauge goes down to zero but when I stop the boost bar shoots up to max.

    Is this an issue.

    Yes I also have the gearbox issue but I had a similar issue with my new 2012 TT and my new 2017 S3 so I thought it was just a character of the gearbox.

    Is this an issue.

    It’s purely stock, although I now have the exhaust rattle problem now. I will book it in for a check up at the dealers. Thanks for you reply.

    Is this an issue.

    Mine is July 19 and I never noticed it until maybe Feb this year. Strange thing to happen I don’t notice any changes in performance, so it could be a gauge issue. I had a new TTS and never had any issue and a new S3 2018 that I had under a year again nothing.

    Is this an issue.

    I have looked back through the old threads and I cannot find anything relevant to my issue. Sometimes when I start my 2019 RS3 first thing, my turbo boost gauge shows full boost on idle. When you drive off, and accelerate the gauge goes down, stop again and it shows full boost again, now these...

    Anyone got a 2017 car or newer?

    This would not be the first time they have pulled this trick. I bought a new Mazda 3 Mps in 2007 and the road was at the time around £140 the next year, they introduced the 4x4 tax although it was also linked to Co2 and I didn’t own a 4x4 I thought I was safe, wrong. The following year it...

    My insurance is with LV and this year’s renewal is up by £200 over last year. When I looked at the renewal schedule there were changes in excesses, windscreen up to £140 Damage £300 fire and theft £500. I decided to run a quote as a new customer, wham, £256 cheaper, so I have changed my insurer...

    RS3 v A45s v M2 comp v Golf R

    I think the RS3 5 pot sounds fantastic but even against the pre opf RS3 it struggles in the top end stakes.

    Sportback CLA 45

    Had a run in with a white CLA 45 last night in Kent. It shot off and I followed, sounds just like an S3. I thought they were supposed to be quick, not really. From a standstill I left him for dead.

    Facelift New RS3’s

    I used a Dragy performance meter. I have met other FL RS3 owners who’s 0-62 times range from 3.6 to 4.4 but there are multiple verifiables like air temp, altitude, tyre pressure and weight of fuel. I had a 2018 S3 and that would pull 4.4 all day.

    My 2019 GPF fitted RS3 with 2k miles on the clock on a dry and level road using launch control will his 62 in 3.7 seconds, and I was using data logic timing gear, very happy with those numbers.

    Camouflaged Remap

    No backlash from me. You are absolutely correct when it comes to data logs. Audi will easily prove you have tampered with the ECU. A friend of mine had standard A3 engine go pop and the bill was north of 17k, so good luck.

    Big end gone on 64 plate

    I would give trading standards a call. I know that anything you buy must be of reasonable quality and what a customers expectations are. The three year warranty is no barrier to making a claim through the courts. I had a very expensive washing machine that packed up after 6 years and the...

    Well the mystery has been solved. The reason my local dealership was putting pressure on customers to collect there cars early was they Inchape have been bought out by Motorline.
