    Paint touch in experts South West ?

    Does anyone know of someone in the south west UK BA11 postal code area who's a total expert at paint touch in ? Made a small chip in my otherwise mint RS5 yesterday ... I have seen on you tube some guys that do some really slick touch ins on small chips etc etc ... they seem pretty expert. If...

    A3/S3 delivery lead time?

    We cancelled the order for our S3. My wife ghot fed up waiting so bought a used BMW M135i instead which she's happy with. If anyone wants a new S3 it's a Black SB with comfort and sound, the 19 inch rims (not the diamond cut ones) and red calipers. I think it'll be appearing in Bath Audi any...

    Ouch, big RS5 bill.

    That's an amazing video. So potentially weak rockers on the pre 2020 cars... very frustrating indeed. £9k repair bill... dear god. A good warranty is essential on these things

    RS5 B9 vs B9.5

    I recently went from a 2019 B9 to a 2021 B9.5 ... A subtle difference in the way the software works with engine / gearbox. Nice having the RS mode button but there is about a 1 second delay from presssing it to the car reacting. Responsiveness and power I'd say are almost identical to my old...

    A3/S3 delivery lead time?

    It's amazing that some take 7 months, others 18 months. I am guessing this is spec dependent. The only thing we have been told won't be on the car is Isofix and child locks. We have ordered the comfort and sound pack, 19" rims and red calipers. So some kit but not lots...

    The £40k Extra Excise Duty - RRP or OTR

    When we specced the S3 we did it so it was just shy of the 40k (list price) .. BUT... I am now informed that the lovely DVLA value it on the LIST price of the car at the time of registration... and of course due to some price rises since we placed our order, the list price now takes it over the...

    A3/S3 delivery lead time?

    We ordered an S3 SB back in June 2021 ( I think there are some posts from me on this thread as far back as last year) and the last update from Audi says build week 36! But it just keeps getting pushed back. My wife ordered the car and has since got bored waiting and bought a used BMW M135i which...

    A3/S3 delivery lead time?

    Yes.. it's a killer tax. Especially when you consider the VAT they already get, the initial MASSIVE VED payment on the new car... and then all the extra tax they'll make from the low MPG performance motoring. It's like the motor industry managed to out smart the Govt by making high performance...

    A3/S3 delivery lead time?

    Hi ... Thanks for this... I re checked with the salesman who said:- " So hopefully will be OK, TBH, after thinking about it I'd rather have the right spec than the cheaper tax.. although it does make me very angry... they brought that 40K limit in in 2017, four years on and it's still at...

    A3/S3 delivery lead time?

    Just this weekend signed the order form for an S3 (My wife's car to replace her Polo GTI) ... and told to expect delivery around April next year! Ordering ahead of an incoming 1.5% price rise too I am told. Ordered it with just enough spec to be a decent car and be a few quid under that £40,000...

    Audi Centre Dispute

    I have had good and bad experiences with Audi / VW customer services. When I bought a 3 year old A4 from Derby Audi in 2012 I went to collect the car and they'd basically tried to tart up a tatty car on a shoe string. The bonnet had been painted badly, there was a knarly hole drilled in one of...

    Annoying rattle from rear driver side window - goes as soon as window moved down a touch...

    On my 2006 A4, have a really bad rattle coming from the rear drivers side door, as soon as you drop the windown just an inch, it goes... comes back as soon as the window is fully up... Any ideas?

    Stage 1 Remap Question TFSI

    I have owned a B7 in the past that I had Revo'd.... it was the 220 BHP special edition from 2006. The Revo totally brought the car to life, it turned a satisfying car into much more of a speed machine... huge improvement all round...

    RS5 vs S5

    I recently went from a 2017 Petrol S5 SB to a 2019 RS5 SB. in my view they are actually very different cars. I did love the S5, it was black with red seats and looked stunning. I'd had it remapped to 400 BHP with an extra 100 NM of torque which I thought would put it closely on the heels of an...

    RS5 Suspension types & codes

    Hi My 2019 RS5 SB - Before I took delivery of it I asked a friend with access to the Audi system to download the full spec sheet of the car. It lists : Shock Absorption / suspension system 2MS Sports running gear with variable damping. This did lead me to believe it has the variable...

    Annoying Sunroof!

    I recently bought a 2019 RS5 with the Pano Roof... it ticks and rattles over bumps. Been in the dealer twice where all they have done is lube it up more on the seals. They have essentially said that on the high performance cars with harder suspension it's more of an issue but it's just a design...
