Thanks for the replies, i have owned an 8P S3 in the past and i would say this is by far more evident with this car than the previous model. I would have expected a slicker gear change but like i said it doesnt sound like an issue just feels a little notchy. Cheers

Hi just a quicky I am having a debate with a guy at work who owns a impreza. He leaves his car running for a minute of so after driving to allow the turbo to cool etc. Is this still the case with modern turbo engines ? Thanks

Will do thanks just thought I would get some advice first, as I am unsure how the water would get into a sealed unit. Unless it is coolant caused by the floodwater somehow. Thanks
