    8.5Y RS3

    Well, it's not exactly buzzing in the 8V forum either is it?:tumble:

    Rs3 8y or…?

    100%. I sold my M3 last summer and we've been running the RS3 for everything since. It's very good at everything. I can't think of many cars that match it for performance, dynamics and practicality. It's equally happy hooning round the Lake District or lugging a bootload of luggage on a long...

    Rs3 8y or…?

    Loving it so far. It's early days - I'm still in the running in period so I'm having to restrain things a bit. Plus most miles have been with my wife as passenger so less opportunity for exploring the dynamics! However, I can already tell that it feels super flat and planted around corners. I've...

    Rs3 8y or…?

    LOL - snap! Picked up my Emira i4 on Saturday. We're keeping the RS3 for the practical stuff :)

    ECU finally unlocked….

    Is all that being done as a piggy-back solution?! The timelines don't allow for sending the ECU to Europe.

    Vorsprung v Carbon edition

    I had a similar hike on an old Fiesta I bought for my sons to learn in and use. Now one's living in London and the other is at uni so I switched it to my name and will use Veygo hourly PAYG insurance when they're here and they want to go somewhere!

    Macclesfield Audi [emoji1304]

    When I first read this I thought Service Sue was some new Alexa / Siri invention from Audi :flushed:

    Yeah, looks like they changed their website. Before, you could search for models. Still might be worth filling in the webform or emailing them. You definitely don't need to be a member to get a quote.

    Hi and welcome! I got a few thousand off list price when I bought in 2022 by using these people: https://www.boundless.co.uk/save-more/griffin I qualified through a tenuous link via the CSMA. I worked for BT for a few years back in the 90's. They didn't check anything when I joined so you...

    Car insurance up !!

    I managed to wrestle ours down to £690 with Sterling in October. Still a £200 jump over the previous year. If you have the option to flip the main driver over to a partner then that's worth a punt. For some reason it was £100 less if we switched from my wife's name to mine.

    Spotted one tonight.

    Was it an 8Y? If so, it's a shame that people like that are finding their way into these already. It inevitably happened with my previous M car and Impreza too.

    Windscreen Demisting

    I know what you mean. Demisting is a joke. Fingers crossed for you. If it works then I'm getting one!

    Windscreen Demisting

    I'd be interested to hear what model you ordered and how you find it. I looked on Amazon and there was a lot of dodgy Chinese stuff with fake reviews. The legit UK reviews were all one star and the consensus was that the whole concept is flawed as a cigarette lighter can't deliver enough watts...

    Windscreen Demisting

    Another vote for heated windscreen. My kids' 2004 Fiesta has one for god's sake! I end up losing patience and driving before it's cleared which is not optimal. Can't believe I'm shopping portable heaters for a £65K car.

    Safety recall 97HO

    It doesn't for me but I imagine it will be recorded in the complete history that Audi holds.

    Safety recall 97HO

    I also had mine done this week. Similar story, he said they're doing about 5 cars a day. I have to say that the Crawley Audi experience was a revelation compared to the Tunbridge Wells BMW I used previously. The staff seem to actually know what they're doing and care about their jobs and customers.

    Audi service plans 25% off

    Thanks for the heads up. I'm trying to figure out if this a no-brainer or not. My car was delivered in October 2023 and has only done 6,500 miles in the past year with no services so far. The app says I'm due an oil change in August 2024 and an inspection in October 2024. There's nothing else...
