    Has anyone traded their RS3 in for an R8?

    I would recommend selling your Rs3 privately and rolling that cash into a deposit on the R8 - you'll probably get a better deal. Also, if you can stretch, get a plus as the residuals on these will be stronger. In my experience my RS3 feels faster but I think it's because I'm use to the size of...

    Facelift Car Cutting Out at Lower Revs

    Twice this week my car has cut out at lower revs, by this I mean blipping the throttle below 3K revs. It happened both times as my car was warming up. Also, the car is chugging a bit more at idle. The last Oil change was around 3K ago, I had a new PCV around the same time. NGK spark plugs -...

    Sportback Michellin ps4s?

    I recently moved to a PS4 squared 235 setup and it's been around 1,000 miles since I took the plunge. As my car isn't standard, I rarely drive with ESC on so cannot comment on traction light issues but what I can say is they're a completely different tyre in the wet. The grip is far better in...

    New owner security questions

    There have been a few car thefts over the last couple of weeks in my area. I also live in a really quiet area but it would seem they're targeting BMWs. With that said I did buy a faraday pouch and box from Amazon yesterday. I might also invest in a steering wheel lock (any recommendations?)

    Facelift You tube RS3 owner and things he doesn’t like....

    Well.. this is awkward :yes: Not sure how I haven't seen this thread sooner! With this particular video I was scrapping the barrel for things I hate about the car, being honest it was a trend at the time to make these 'hate' videos and I was jumping on the bandwagon. It started out as me making...

    MRC Stage 1 - Car Safety

    The title of this thread is a little ominous but it's late and I couldn't think how else to ask the following: I've recently had some work done on my car by MRC, I've had a Stage 1 remap, high flow filter, revised coil packs fitted, NRG race spark plugs, Forge inlet pipe, Forge turbo elbow and...

    Facelift Pirelli Tyre Defects - Response

    I think I've commented on this thread once already but I have now gone through 10 front tyres in 18 months. Each time I buy a new tyre I rage a little inside but I've just learned to expect it now. For extra context I have done 45,000 miles in my car.

    Sportback Intermittent Flashing Engine Management Light

    Hi All, The car went into MRC this week for a Stage 1 remap, high flow filter and some Forge intake parts. I'm really impressed by how much it's transformed the car however I have noticed something a bit weird.. As I pull through the gears, when I'm in 4th at 3,500/5000rpm the car makes a...

    Facelift RS3 Smoke Issue?

    Hi All, Over the past 2/3 weeks I've noticed white smoke is coming from the left side (if you were looking at the car head on) of my grill. I've checked all my levels and they are fine - Oil, Coolant etc. It also seems to be on any journey regardless of length, I've driven my car half an hour...

    Facelift Tracking RS3 with Pirellis?

    Not sure if this has been asked before but, I'm tracking my car in December and am wanted to know if anyone has done it with the RO2 Pirelli's? I'm thinking of buying a set of Michelin's but don't know whether it's worth it, if the Pirelli's hold up well I'll just stick with them. Any advice...

    Facelift Weird Tyre Wear on RS3 (FL)

    I've had my RS3 for 6 months from brand new. It's had a couple of ongoing issues during this time such as the oil consumption and squeaky brakes. After going back and forth with Audi (as they could never replicate the brakes) they finally discovered an issue with 2 of my pads. Whilst replacing...
