My 2016 Pre-Facelift RS3 with the CZGB engine with 43K miles has started developing an issue when accelerating under full throttle. At 5k rpm there is a noticeable hesitation and sometimes the revs dropping to 4k with the exhaust popping as if the accelerator had been lifted off. When trying...

An interesting video regarding the cost of working on Audi models.

I've been running a Revo Stage 1 for over a year 2016 RS3. I haven't had it on a rolling road but it feels faster with more torque than when it was standard on the road even though VMax 200 event timing showed it wasn't any faster than a standard delimited PFL RS3. I've decided to keep the car...

I was wondering how long brake discs and pads usually last on PFL RS3. I didn't think I was pushing the breaks too much with my daily city traffic commute. But mine has lasted 17k miles with the break pads warning displaying after my first slow run at VMAX200 so they were worn before taking...

I've entered Vmax200 event to try out my 2016 RS3 with a Revo Stage 1. I can see from the results on their website that a few people have done the event with an RS3. I checked with Revo and they said that the 155 mph is not disabled with stage 1 tune so I was wondering is it worth getting the...

I was driving home in 30 min of heavy traffic and there was a warning saying stop engine because of low coolant. I was only a 30 seconds away from arriving at so carried on. The oil temp wasn't overly high so I'm guessing the engine wasn't over heating. I checked the coolant and it was under...

I’m doing an MBA dissertation on brands' country of origin and the effect of having products built in a different country. I was wondering what people’s thoughts on when buying a car does it matter where it is made. Or is it the case that as long as it is branded as a German or British...

I've found the that my cruise control does not always re-enable after being disabled while driving. The car is doing over 20mph but it will not enable or show what the speed the cruise control is set to. It will not work until I switch the car off and back on again. The car is booked in for a...

My insurance is up for renewal with Admiral and they have been the cheapest quote I've had. So I tried and get an insurance quote from them asking how much difference a Stage 1 remap would be to my insurance before I had the remap done. They said they could not cover that modification. :cry...

This is my first post in the RS3 section after deliberating for months on which car I should replace my 2007 S3. You may have seen my general post on the 8v forum regarding waiting for an updated version or just order it now. Well I’ve decided I should order the current model. The dealers have...

After 8 years of A3 ownership I’m thinking of changing it next year for a new model. I've been thinking with a revised version almost certainly being on sale next year I don’t know if I should wait or not. I’m guessing that the car will be unveiled at the Geneva motor show in March with...
