Yes, when it's 'off' the shock is actually softer than the non mag ride suspension - one of the reasons I specced it on my car. It's 'off' in Efficency In Auto you can feel the shocks stiffen up as you steer hard into bends, or brake heavily into a roundabout

Mag ride is on or off - it is a metal loaded fluid inside the shocks that changes status when a current is passed through it. There is no halfway state possible with this setup.

I voted "No, I turn it off as soon as I start the car" ...actually I disabled it in VCDS. I find it a poor match with DSG and hill hold assist - and actually pretty dangerous. I have seen two cars totalled because they have gone for gaps on roundabouts, but hadn't factored in having to wait for...

If I remember rightly, there was someone from the BBC sniffing around on this forum a couple of months ago looking to borrow an S3

Yep - that and the folding back seat split are clear cost saving measures... GRRRRRR!

I have had a few cars with DSG boxes, and not had a single issue up until now. It hasn't put me off at all, but I do change my car between three and four years. I am not sure I would buy a second hand car with DSG that's out of warranty. To be fair, Poole Audi have so far been absolutely...

Yep! Had this error pop up on Sunday night when I was driving home from visiting family: Only had 1st and 3rd gear. Went to Audi on Monday morning who said they'd do some checks. Confirmed on Monday afternoon that I need a new gearbox (covered under warranty, as car is 18 months old) The box...

I went with Audi's GAP insurance when I bought the car. I appreciate it's probably twice the price of some of the others, but I was so pleased with the quality of service that I went back to them twice since!

Yes, after someone t-boned my year old S4 which was stationary at the time. It was about £5k which was the difference between the insurance pay-out and the cost to buy a new one with the same options. There were no questions asked, and it was a smooth process.

I got an atmospheric one, and took it off because it sounds awful. It really amplifies the issue that Audi won't admit to AS DISCUSSED HERE Definitely makes a difference between the gears - but it's marginal on a DSG car in my opinion.

What's makes it more annoying is the fact that all the stuff is in VCDS to code it... it's just the coils in the door handles that aren't there - probably the cheapest components of the whole setup!

Makes no sense at all. I have the electric seats - like an idiot I assumed that by ordering keyless and electric seats, I would get memory seats - wrong!!!! From what I can see, the seat is the same as the SS seat, just less built up in the side bolsters, and without the wings on the back. The...

Confession time: I get so bored when driving in traffic that I have played the adrenalin game for many years... ...how far can you drive your car on 'empty' before you chicken out and fill it up with fuel. When the red light comes on, it really gets your adrenalin pumping and makes an...

I had an S4 previously, and after someone T-boned it, I went for an S3 as with a new A4 platform on the way, the finance numbers were not as strong. Both cars were remapped, and although the S3 is considerably quicker from 0-60, the S4 was significantly more rewarding to drive.

+1 for ctek - I have an MXS10. I went for this model because you can also use it as a power supply to drive your tyre inflator, 12 volt lead lamp, and for testing things in the garage. :-)

I recommend that you use VCDS to disable Stop/Start If you are doing tiny mileage, it's around town and you're not going on a regular run, several Stop/Starts will be pulling more out of your battery than you are putting back in. My Dad had a similar issue with his BMW X1 - the dealer's...

Looks nice - I prefer it to the APR/Carbonio one that I have - great to see they did something about the stock concertina plastic connection pipe, which the APR intake retains. I am convinced a smoother path through that bit will make a noticeable difference, if my old S4 is anything to go by!

@DJAlix thanks for your help! :thumbs up: New switch fitted today, and I now have one-touch tilt! If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have known there was anything at fault with mine. Cheers!!! :beerchug:

Definitely sounds like my switch doesn't behave the same way as yours does! Maybe I'll pop over to the Audi garage tomorrow, check out one in the showroom and if it's different I'll get mine replaced. Thamks!

Hmmm, I wonder if I have a faulty switch? The "click" point on mine either fully opens or fully closes the roof (slide) I was looking for a single touch to tilt like you can on some other VAG models, rather than trying to guess the midpoint between tilting and sliding.
