Well that didnt last long, the car had some positive points, but oh my goodness, it was dull as dish water to drive. For a supposed premium hot hatch i found it really disappointing, it was great if all you cared about was the traffic light g.p, and a good 0 - 60 time, but for me that just...

yeah the fact you cant turn off the traction control is another gripe, even when its supposedly turned off, it isnt, it will allow you a brief moment of slip before it over rides you, its the wrong way around the driver should be the one in command. I understand the rarb makes the car feel more...

yeah as said its nothing to do with power, the cars already plenty quick enough, I just really miss the involvement and fun of a quality hot hatch and at the minute im wondering why im paying a lot more money a month for a car that just doesnt make me smile. I drove a fiesta st a couple of times...

im really frustrated with my S3, its a facelift 7 speed dsg 310 ps, its quick enough, sounds good, looks good but its just so dull to drive, I came from a clio 220 trophy and the clio was just in another league for smiles per mile and tbh it was almost as quick once rolling. Theres just no fun...

I think the older cars make an extra 10 hp from a re map because they are 10 bhp down on the newer cars to start with, as far as I can tell if you remap both a fl and a pfl they will both make the same power.

I understand the way to reduce is understeer in an s3 is a uprated rarb, but im just wondering if any tests have been done to see what the real gains are, as opposed to some one whos just fitted one giving their enthusiastic opinion. This video really highlights what is a major weakness, but if...

yes, just to clarify, I didnt buy an s3 for its fuel economy, I was just interested how accurate the manufacturers claims were tbh. Having said that I really dont feel the need to be flying around everywhere all the time, ive spent a good few years of my life karting and also on track in my...

no, thats about right, its just that your going 70 instead of 60, just dropping that 10mph will make huge difference. For example, my last car was a diesel focus st, cruising at 70 mph it would return 50 mpg, cruising at 60 mph it would return 65mpg, thats almost 30 percent increase in mpg just...

Filled up the S3, (5 door facelift dsg), interior petrol gauge was showing full, but I didnt brim it because it was still going in full belt when I got to the 60 quid limit, because thats what cash id got on me, hard to know how much room was still in the tank but there was some, and prior to...

dunno but it looks good, did you feel and benefit ?

is your airbox properly closed?

sounds good, any pics to share?

will you report back on the new induction kit please?

Lehn, aaah I dont know, I was just going on reviews on youtube, were quite a few of them say up to 100 percent of the torque can be sent to the back wheels.

As I understand it, the facelift can send all of its power to the rear wheels if required, so should in theory be less prone to power under steer.

I never had a pre face lift tbh, but I went for a face lift because they have quite a few upgrades that perhaps seem small individually, but added together seem like they are worth having imo. 7 spd dsg box 310 ps and 400nm, better fuel economy, revised haldex, louder exhaust etc etc, and for me...

yep facelift s3 dsg. Thanks for the hellos. I will take some pics. David

Recently got an S3 facelift sport back, it sounds pretty nice tbh but id like it to be a bit louder, I fancy doing the centre res delete, but ive also been looking at fancy carbon fibre induction kits that are really expensive, they look awesome but do they give any performance gain and do...

aah great thank you very much. David

I would like to do the centre resonator delete exhaust mod, but does it disable the exhaust flaps, or do you have to do anything to keep the flaps working ? Thanks David
