do you think this map could be put on the RS3?
warranty is intact thou, and for some thats enoughP_G wrote:So for an extra £5k you get 20bhp and 15ft.lbs. more plus a raised top speed to 174mph, those wheels, a larger that the already excessive rear wing, carbon fibre effect wing mirrors and a plaque inside to say that you were stupid enough to pay £5k more for all those <beep> upgrades?
Save your money and get remap plus a s/s catback exhaust and your car will be way faster as proven by many on this forum and if need be get your wing mirrors layered or wrapped in CF and have the extra few £k in your pocket. Leave the wheels out as they have always looked pants with the painted inserts.
What a pointless exercise and indicative of Audi milking money from the RS brand. I'm tempted to go to the Audi stand in Geneva just to vent my spleen at how <beep> their new RS cars are for existing RS owners looking to change. I suppose the only plus point is that some TT-RS owners will want to trade up their current TTRS's and make them even cheaper to procure standard versions. These 'Plus' drivers are going to be seriously pee'd when a remapped standard TT-RS wafts by under acceleration.

Still more than an aftermarket s/s exhaust and remap would cost and they give more power, equal or better sound plus a delimit and the only bit of addiitonal kit the Plus supposedly gives that I would want is the carbon mirror housings. The price I suggested is based on what was in the press so may or may not be accurate. There is no direct correlation between the prices charged in Germany and those that are charged in the UK; a quick trip round Neckarsulm Forum on the prices of cars in the showroom there demonstrates that.Cap_Scarlet wrote:I think you need to compare spec-for-spec more closely.P_G wrote:So for an extra £5k you get 20bhp and 15ft.lbs. more plus a raised top speed to 174mph, those wheels, a larger that the already excessive rear wing, carbon fibre effect wing mirrors and a plaque inside to say that you were stupid enough to pay £5k more for all those <beep> upgrades?

In Germany the Plus is €4,100 more than the standard car. But the RS Plus gets cost free 19" wheels (in place of those awful red-tipped items) which are a €1,500 option on the standard car, it alo gets the sports exhaust (€1,000 option) and raised speed limit (€1,600 option). All pretty much essential option in my view. So all-in-all the plus get the extra power for nothing.
but you loose your warranty, but keep it with the +P_G wrote:Still more than an aftermarket s/s exhaust and remap would cost and they give more power, equal or better sound plus a delimit and the only bit of addiitonal kit the Plus supposedly gives that I would want is the carbon mirror housings.

so you lunch the engine, they say it was the mod, how do you prove otherwise?aka_dk wrote:you dont loose any warranty ... what a myth
audi "should" honour a warranty unless they can prove that the mods directly contributed to the failure

i know what the law says ,but i also know what arse's dealers are, the problems we had with the bendy rims on the RS4 and how long and how much work that took, the crap im getting at the moment over our polo GTi that's burnt 6ltrs of oil in 6500 miles "that's normal, not interested, take it up with VW"aka_dk wrote:you didnt read my post SonicDave_Hedgehog wrote:so you lunch the engine, they say it was the mod, how do you prove otherwise?aka_dk wrote:you dont loose any warranty ... what a myth
