Your wife wanted an RS4 Avant....I can see why you married her! Haha
Ive recently changed my 3dr S3 to a Sportback S3 and I've no use for the rear doors either but i prefer the look ;)
My Neuspeed was the FULL CAI kit and not just P-Flow and was very good!
Looks exactly the same as the pic above so check you're not just paying for a name....
What about the budget for the running costs etc...?
I was recently faced with a similar dilemma and found out that the running costs of the RS models ramped up considerably from that of the S3 (that came straight from Audi themselves)
You cant beat the sound of the RS (awesome), however, after...
Cheers Red, I've been told that too from others that changed with DSG so i'll stick with the standard exhaust & just get the map ð
Appreciated re the responses both, thanks
Ive just changed from my 3dr 2007 S3 (8P) to a 2011 S3 Sportback DSG Black Edition.
On my previous S3 I was running a stage 1 Revo, Neuspeed CAI & Milltek cat-back non-res exhaust.
The Sportback is class, but, deffo not as aggressive or quick without the Revo which I'll have to sort...
Haha, I don't wanna know about non Bose systems without RNS-E as I've had those and aware of what they sound like....
I was asking others with the same equipment as i was surprised & mightily disappointed in what should be a premium sound system on an excellent car.
I'll update once its been...
Its deffo nothing to do with the bass being full, i only turned it to full after it sounded so poor.
It must have something to do with the fact i can access the DSP menu which vehicles fitted with a Bose system shouldn't be able to.
At least i know its not stuck in engineering mode so its...
All the settings (bass, fade etc) are ok, its the fact i can access the DSP menu which i shouldn't be able to with the Bose system.
I'll take it back to Audi tomorrow and hopefully get things sorted but I'll let you all know incase others also experience similar issues.
In my RNS-E manual it says that my unit shouldn't be equipped with DSP (Gala) and that vehicles with the Bose system are fitted with a dynamic background noise compensation system which automatically adapts the volume to the interior noise level....
Seems i'll be calling Audi on Monday! :(
On my RNSE it has options for Gala off, 1, 2 3 etc which it would seem shouldn't be possible unless its in engineering mode (which it must be).
Audi asked me if i wanted to use cd's to listen to music so i said yes, they told me they had "unlocked" the system which will now allow me to remove...
Ive had a quick look and it seems that it maybe a VCDS setting and/or removing a Bose wire on the rear of the unit....
I cant believe this isn't something that loads of people haven't/aren't experiencing as I'm mightily disappointed with the Bose (premium) system compared to my previous...
Ive just changed my 2007 S3 (8P) hatchback for a 2011 S3 Sportback which is equipped with the Bose system.
The car is great....apart from the sound system.
My previous vehicle just had the standard Audi Concert system but it was much better than the Bose system which cant be right?!
Ive got...
This is the response I got back from Milltek :(
"The 3 and 5 door sport back share the same parts expect for the rear silencer so it will not be a direct swap.
The 3 door rear silencer is much shorter on both the inlet pipe and the tailpipes so will not work on the 5 door sportback models."
