Hi all,
Can anyone confirm that the engine in the RSQ3 is the same as the pre-facelift RS3? Is the 340ps one the same engine as the 8P RS3 or again, the same as the pre-facelift RS3, just de-tuned?
Cheers,
Sam.
I don’t know chap are they? I don’t suppose I am too fussed overall. I just want that 5 pot noise!! That’s why it’s important to me that I get the right set up with the exhaust.The 8P and 8V PFL engines are the same, aren't they? Just different power outputs.
Re the exhaust. Hardly anyone makes aftermarket units for the Q3 and twin outlets isn't a good idea because the battery is where the r/h tailpipe would be. Probably best to not have a hot pipe right underneath it. The Q3 sounds great anyway, even with a single.
Ascari blue metallic. 9000 miles, really nice car, The only RS I would ever get , All others (for me) to low to small ect, Ive had loads of Audi,s Last one been a 14 plate SQ5 that was a good car, But then went to a Merc AMG GLA 17 plate for a change, Really should not of got that!! Been a Audi man for over 30 years so Ill stick to them.

Avatar change due mefinks!
Fixed...
Yeah it is lovely. Pictures don’t do it justice really. Amazing in person, but as you say it has no Bose or pan roof! I really wanted the pan roof but not too fussed about not having Bose. As will no doubt be modding the exhaust, so the window will be down a lot ! I didn’t know the difference between the nav’s???Looks nice but for me it's missing Bose, panroof and the HD nav

That’s the one I’m looking at. What does everyone think?

So not much difference with the Navs then really. Not something I’d be massively be bothered about. I would like Bose don’t get me wrong but the car is nice and I’ve bought a couple from them before.There are 2 versions of the sat nav, the lower spec sd card nav which, as it says, is all based on the sd card and the hd nav which comes as part of the tech pack and is hard drive based. It also afaik has a higher definition screen.
Personally, I'd rather have the Bose. If nothing else they light up at night to add to the premium feel inside
Can you tell that they’re worn?Make sure you pay particular attention to the front brakes as they will cost you ££££'s to replace if worn
Yes it is immaculate too! Lovely in person, as I say the pictures don’t do it justice. Can you really tell from that video that the discs are worn? I had a look and a quick touch but I was unsure. What do I do!?My 1st RSQ3 was Sepang blue with a black pack, is a lovely colour combination. The video of that RSQ3 shows quite a significant lip on the front disks - they are around £500 a pair, the discs have a 1mm wear limit on each side so those are most likely unserviceable already. The genuine Audi OEM pads (which are cr*p as they wear the discs out as can be seen) are around £360 a set. Those massive calipers have 8 pistons and there 4 pads each side - 8 in total - hence the price.
A smart RSQ3 owner swaps the OEM pads out pronto and puts in EBC Redstuffs - a ceramic pad that increases the initial grab performance, performs even better when hot and polishes rather than wears the disc faces away - oh yes and about £200 a set for the front.
