    2018 S3 individual quattro drive select settings

    Help! S3 new shoes...

    Hi everyone! I want to replace my OEM 18” wheels on my S3 Sportback and the ones that I love are the OZ Ultraleggeras. I think the best configuration for me is 19x8,5j but... I don’t know which ET I have to choose... 47? 38? I don’t want to use spacers, so taking the 47 and then not enough? Or...

    Unplugging S3 Exhaust valves

    I just followed this video and unplugged the valves on my S3 8V FL. I've been out for a blast in it and really cant tell any difference? Should there be any noticeable difference and is there any way to tell if the valves are in fact open? Cheers
