Speed limiter removal on new S3

[Andru8]

When I receive my new S3 around March/April etc next year I would like the top speed limiter deactivated. I am sure that I read somewhere that if it is done within a certain period it is possible. Am I correct in thinking that it can be removed before either 100 miles OR 10 hrs of driving, after that it is impossible to remove.

If my memory is right will my dealer do this for free?


Cheers

Never heard of a dealer being able to do this. It is an option I believe when buying an RS3.

Had my 155mph limit removed courtesy of the Revo remap.

I'm sure I can remember this from a while back, I mat be wrong but I hope I'm not. No remapping for me I'm afraid, not this time. It'll be the 1st car in over 10 years not be be fiddled with !

Out of interest what is the top speed without the limiter?

 

[Rob2k68]

With a stage 1 tune I've heard quoted 171 - it does feel every bit capable of this. Here's one motoring at an indicated 186mph stage 1+ intake, tune and downpipe ......

Audi charge £1000 for the "Top Speed Derestrictor" on the RS3 so I'd be surprised if they would do it for free on an S3.

Thanks for that, it must be my mistake.

APR map has limiter removed, keeps on pulling well past 155mph (so I'm told)

 

[Paul @ Unit 9 Remaps]

We are north east based and can remove the limiter

 

[Revo Steve-W]

Limiters are defiantly removed here.

Hi Rob,

Did you have to request the tuner to remove the speed limiter whilst they were doing the map or do Revo remaps just automatically remove this as part of the software?

It's part of the software mate - not optional as I understand it.

Cool, thanks for confirming mate.

I've got a Revo stage 1 remap, looking to go stage 2 pretty soon, so will have to test out it's de-restricted limit

Don't do that past my house, please.

Don't worry I won't be doing it past anyone's house!
