Re: Looking for a RS3
You won't/shouldn't be offered a modified one from Audi so if that's what you're after you need to look private but do your checks. Remember warranty is void if Audi find any mods done. I looked at two in Birmingham prior to buying mine from Audi and both had previous history ie damaged and repaired...

Re: Has anyone had their rs3 remapped?
I personally am gagging for my rs3 to be mapped but have been shown the light re warranty. My previous RS3 had been chipped and Milltek'd and it was a completely different beast to the standard car i have now. Don't get me wrong, people have had issues on standard cars but Audi will check for mods!!...

Re: BUYERS BEWARE OY11 HVM. GEARBOX/DIFF PROBLEM
You are correct. I noticed it there too. I sent an email to them advising knowledge of problems and they chose to ignore me. I guess that way when they get a buyer they too can play ignorant to the fact. They have driven the car around for some 1000 odd miles since they prchased from Sytners auction...

Re: 11000 miles and new diff needed!!
I'd take the refund, buy a shitter for a couple of grand (privately so you wont loose anything on it), and wait for another car to come along.The dealer wont do anything to help you if its going to cost them more than a straight forward refund, its obvious their number one priority is profit, not c...

Re: BUYERS BEWARE OY11 HVM GEARBOX/DIFF PROBLEM
So ....I was right. Slough Audi have put the car up for sale on their Sytner Auction site. Bigged the car up re chipping and exhaust and turbo??? Mentioned there will be no warranty on the car but not mentioned what Audi know as the problem. Also in the time they had the car in their possession they...

Re: 11000 miles and new diff needed!!
Well if nothing else, the replies have shown a pretty even split about customer service , expectations for Audi and their dealers, and the views on rights and wrongs. There is definitely and arrogance and ignorance from the business manager at Slough Audi, and yet there were a few there that couldn'...

Re: 11000 miles and new diff needed!!
you have 3 years warranty no matter where you buy it from? Correct, if standard of course....the older one of the two you listed is nigh on out as an 11/11. The other still has some warranty to run but I doubt up to what Audi would like to think of their standards hence has ended on the aftermarket .

Re: 11000 miles and new diff needed!!
...but equally they can't order you a like for like replacement. If the right car isn't in the network, then what can they do? If you've found a car, why not take the cash and go buy it? I suspect because its too expensive? More than the refund being offered? Nope less than £400 retail difference.....
