Sounds nice. :bigwave:

Heated seats are a good option - never had them apart from in a Corrado Storm never thought Id use them and now love them. No cold leather in the morn.

If your on the tall side I found the std seats dont seem to sit low enough imo...


Off topic has anyone seen the RS3 at Revolution?? Is that the one from here that had its Recaros stolen?? Seats seem to have S-Line on them?? HPI clear....


EDIT - It now says CAT D and they have removed the images of the seats.. Buyers beware..

The heated seats are standard in the front, its the rears that are an option, and yes heated seats are a must.

Ill have to retrofit cruise to this, which is fairly easy.

And reference the one at revolution, I did wonder why it was so cheap. Every RS3 they have had seems to be be CAT D, they had the red one didnt they?

Agree P_G :bigblink:

Ah OK Oli wasnt sure they were std in front??

Retro fitting doesnt seem as cheap as it used to be - I'm after cruise and a MFSW for the Cali.
I'm guessing you have several contacts in your line of work.

Yeah Revol***** seem to sell polished turds. Nothing to do with the Sponsor on here!!

Good luck Oli. You sure you dont want buckets?? Keep in touch Mate.

Speak to Vanworx in Portland, they should be able to do both those jobs for you(tell them i sent you), if not I believe Hazzy days can.

And Im really happy with the spec Ive got. :biggrin3: , the buckets weren't a biggie for me

This happened on wednesday, I lunched the propshaft! A new one is on route from Germany. Audi assistance and the dealer have been brilliant to be fair. Constant phone calls to keep me updated, even offered to drop a car to me at 11pm at night, but wasn't needed. A 2pm on Thursday, a 12 plate S3 was delivered to my work, albeit a bit of a an abused one (hire car), but at least I have transport now. They are saying I will be back on the road by tuesday :biggrin3:

Im just glad its under warranty, and not something I need to pay for. After scanning the internet it seems there have been a few with knackered propshafts and the replacement is modified.
