    Sport/S-line/S/RS vs. Magnetic Ride Suspension Options

    Thanks for your comments, it looks like mag ride provides that extra comfort and makes the car a perfect daily driver. How about comparing the comfort mode with other suspension setups though? Have you had the chance to drive one?

    Sport/S-line/S/RS vs. Magnetic Ride Suspension Options

    Those who had the chance to experience different suspension setups, can you please explain what it feels like when using magnetic ride's different modes? For example, Magnetic comfort mode with 19" feels like (or little stiffer, I don't know) Sport suspension with 17" or else This will help...

    S3 8V with around the 60k miles

    Yes you are right thank you, as this is written in LUK dual clutch diagnostic document. For those who do not know. In manual gear mode, cruising at both 6th and 7th gear around 1000-1200 engine rpm, floor the pedal without kickdown and observe the engine rpm. The instant change in rpm shouldn't...

    S3 8V with around the 60k miles

    Hi How can we understand if a used S3 remapped or tuned before, but then reverted back to original? Is there any way to check this? There is a 40k navarra blue S3, which is looking beautiful. In general there are things that I'm looking to understand how nicely the car was used, like the...

    Audi S3 PFL vs Mercedes A35 AMG

    A with top trim vs. CLA with mid trim. I know the interior and tech options are almost the same. I don't know if the multi-beam led numbers are the same for both, or some saying that some of the materials inside is better in CLA (eg. steering wheel middle part with Merc amblem is softer) Is...

    Audi S3 PFL vs Mercedes A35 AMG

    @Chris4410 Could you be more specific where these sounds were coming from? Maybe we, thinking of switching to A or CLA, can pay attention during the test drives. I was on the edge of buying an A-class with lots of tech options in it, or a CLA with less tech but a stunning look.

    bye bye google satellite overlay

    I wonder how this will affect the future Virtual Cockpit retrofits and already retrofitteds as well. Any idea?

    @Keithd32 Can you share some images, showing the difference? Not too close if possible please, no need to count the pixels :) Covering the whole screen maybe.

    Rather than suing Audi, isn't this "36-month subscription" statement in the end, something Audi is telling us beforehand "this will end after 3 years, no guarantee after then" ?

    Has my car previously had a Virtual cockpit fitted?

    I need to know what that is, trying to figure out and evaluating the long term effects of the vibration on virtual cockpit. Anybody here, using the retrofitted virtual cockpit and have something to say maybe please? I think the virtual cockpit adaptation bracket is fitted to the steering...

    Has my car previously had a Virtual cockpit fitted?

    This is the one, below yellow arrow. VC bracket and as a result the VC itself is sitting on this structure. This belongs to steering column body? Isn't there too much vibration on this?

    Has my car previously had a Virtual cockpit fitted?

    Then where exactly this bracket sits on to? There is this bracket that I'm talking about, in your VC and analogue cluster pictures above, where the bracket is assembled with the two center holes. Isn't it the steering column body, that the VC adaptation bracket is assembled on?

    Has my car previously had a Virtual cockpit fitted?

    @DJAlix By the way, the adaptation bracket is assembled onto the steering column right? Does it mean that the vibrations coming from the steering system, in other words all the way from the wheels, are transmitted to the VC as well? On the original configuration, VC is sitting on the...

    Has my car previously had a Virtual cockpit fitted?

    Many thanks for all, really. I found a local retrofitter here in my home country, in Istanbul, he told they fitted dozens of VCs in the past without a problem. But anyway I just wanted to hear from somebody experienced here as well. I had concerns as you can see. I just saw the original dash...

    Has my car previously had a Virtual cockpit fitted?

    @DJAlix I need your help please, will be glad to hear your comments. I am planning to install VC to my facelift A3, but afraid of the adaptation issues. - Does this retrofitted VC stay in the same location as in the original fitted one? I mean the depth of it, distance from the dash limits...

    Issues after Virtual Cockpit retrofit

    I need to learn something about cutting and retrofit brackets. Are you still with us? How is this VC held tight in place? Any trim noise, stutter etc.? Is it only assembled from the bottom bracket points to the dashboard, nothing on the upper side to support? Does anybody know how the original...

    1.5 TFSI Engine Software Update

    I'm living in Ankara, Turkey. Also visited Ingolstadt this April, talked with a lady at Audi AG and with a service guy at Ingolstadt Audi Center. They were all aware of the problem at that time but couldn't tell when to come up with a solution. Before receiving the car I checked the paperwork...
