With a base price of over £113k here in Denmark? Think I can cope with my S3
(And to be honest, it didn’t felt that much faster below 100km/h)What have you done to your 8V today?

Wow, that is seriously cheap! Hope they are what you hope they are.Thanks for the adviceHave already found a usefull youtube video and a tutorial so I think I'll be fine.
And I was able to get a pair for only £60 on eBay. Should be new and never used but let's see how they look when they arrive.
£79.502,74 but that is with 150% car tax. You can push the tax down to 50% if you get the rear seats removed and make it a "van". I got away with around £60.000 because it's a van where it would have costed £100-120.000 with the extras I got depending on the discount.
If you're curious you can take a look at these two threads I have made about it:

And we thought we got it bad over here In the U.K.
That’s rs4/5/6 type money. Your rs3 is Aston Martin money
But no doubt the Danes have a higher standard of living higher average wage etc etc.. And also a higher suicide rate where they all drive their RS3s into lakesAnd we thought we got it bad over here In the U.K.

There is less than 20 facelifted RS3s registered in Denmark which make it very unlikely to be the car you drive into a lake
I’m surprised there’s even 20 at £114k+There is less than 20 facelifted RS3s registered in Denmark which make it very unlikely to be the car you drive into a lake
Just out of interest for £114k what other cool cars can be had? Aston? Bentley? Porsche?
I don't even think we're talking about that many. I recall my Audi salesman saying that theres registered 13 in Denmark whereas the 8 is at Audi
Haha you don't want to know!
Porsche Macan S, 2015, 36.000km, £119k
Bentley Continental GTC, 2008, 68.000km, £159k
Aston Martin V8 Vantage, 2009, 130.000km, £111k
Audi S7 4,0 TFSi SB, 2014, 71.000km, £107k

Think it’s time I export cars to Denmark

Haha that's a poor business! Remember it's all taxes. Last year the taxes even went down from 180% to 150%. 180%!
That’s as bad as China. Used to be 300% on luxury German car. My in laws mate bought a run off the mill BMW X5 and I asked him how much it cost and he told me it was £150k. I told him it’s like a £50-60k car and for £150k I would have an Aston Martin. He wanted an m3 or m5 and I told him give me the money and I by him a holiday home over here and m3. I will of course look after it for him
China has a VAG assembly plant and cars coming off those production line don’t get taxed as much as one built and imported from Germany.
Yeah, A3 is dirt cheap there, but S3 are all Hungary, but still, £40k and you can get one for pretty good discount it's one of the cheapest S3 available anywhere I guess...
Maybe some sneak through and get built in China
build an s line and sneak an s3 engine in.
Oil change and inspection service including new wiper blades carried out today at Stirling Audi.
Still don’t understand the service intervals though.
Car new Dec 2016
Dec 2017 - 10,000 miles 1st inspection and oil change.
Sept 2018 - 18,700 miles 2nd inspection and oil change.
Mmi was showing inspection due 99 days or 900 miles and oil change due 92 days or 400 miles before today’s service.
Next oil change now due in 427 days or 11900miles.
Next inspection now due in 720 days or 19,900 miles
Who knows!
All I know is whoever buys this from the lease company after it goes back in December won’t have much to worry about. Well looked after and new tyres all round recently too.

If it was fixed servicing it should have been every 9k. First is just oil change and have a poke around.
Second is oil change and filters,air con and sunroof service is optional, and have a poke around.
Most if not all lease cars are set to variable and services is close to 18k.
When set to variable the inspection(air filter and poke around) is still fixed at 18k but the oil can vary as it’s depending on how you drive and how dirty the oil is as sensors and logs pick this up.
Or at pdi someone cocked it up.
Dealer is probably milking that lease cow for all it’s worth. Most company/lease cars include full maintenance and I’ve seen some change tyres when there was still a good 4mm left on them.
Haha, quick polish with autosol and does the job .Looks nice.
I’m thinking of a more Matt black so I won’t see the dirt on them

Getting too lazy in my old age. Used to spend hours/days detailing cars. Now got no time and can’t be bothered even getting the hose out
Well today i stupidly redlined it from a cold start whilst showing it off to a mate, I’ve always been so careful making sure everything up to temp before I get sporty. Fingers crossed no long term damage, slap on the wrist for me today!
Seriously, don't worry! This was only a real problem on older engines when the tolerances weren't as good as they are today. Of course you shouldn't do this on a daily basis but do yourself a favour and don't worry
Thanks mate, I feel slightly better for hearing that. I’ve redlined it plenty before and drove the car in well for the first 2k miles, just today it was literally from a cold start I drove off the drive and floored it and now paranoid haha, I’m terrible. I suppose it’s not exactly winter yet lol but you know lol.Seriously, don't worry! This was only a real problem on older engines when the tolerances weren't as good as they are today.

Annnnnd then my haldex sh!t the bed, and my car is pretty much full time fwd right now. didn't even have a chance to launch with the new tune

Neighbours opposite are having a loft extension, and the builder popped across yesterday and spent half an hour talking to me about my car. Then today he left his van at home and brought round his 1998 B5 RS4 Avant. These are rare as freakin’ hens teeth! One year of production only, and think they only sold c.200 in the UK in total.
V6 2.7 bi-turbo - pushed out 380bhp originally. Was in good shape for a 20 year old RS - needed a ruddy good detail though. Good fun talking to a fellow Audi nut and discussing how the technology has changed over the last 2 decades!

You are welcome.

They are a cracking car....still look amazing. A noggy blue one would be a garage queen for me! I see it is a Northern Irish car too.
Lol - they’re not going that high mate - that’s just the canopy to keep the house dry and for the builders to work under rain or shine. Original roof line will be the same - they’re just having a dormer extension out the back, but whole roof off and new timber and steel to bring it up to modern building regs standards.
