Re: Tyre time...!
Here's a question now...on a haldex quattro, should all 4 tyres be changed at the same time, or can "odd pairs" run without issue? Have managed to source a reasonable price for the Michelin SuperSports but have about 3-4mm tread on the rears. Question is do I run a Michelin/Conti combination or all ...

Re: RS3 Recall
Called ahead of time to my local stealer and explained the issue regards recall...sure enough it comes up on their system. "No problems, just get it booked in and we can deal with it." Also required "complimentary satnav update" and an issue I have with the rear wiper (does not automatically active ...

Bluetooth
Hi guys, Nothing in particular. I just wanted to share that my new HTC One X handset works with the car. Oddly, the HTC Desire I had before did not sync at all with the BT system onboard. I did check the phone on another audi prior to speccing the car, as I was concerned that the phone may not work,...

Re: how long have, did you wait for your RS3 ??
I went to the local dealership within 48 hours of Audi announcing the RS3 in November 2010. I placed a deposit down, although official "waitlist" was not open... I was able to spec my car around January/February 2011. I was told that hopefully, we'd be looking at late Q2/early Q3 of 2011, but was al...

What Fuel?
Out of interest, I would like to know what fule folk use in their RS cars? Shell V Power or the equivalent OR Standard 95 RON fuel I'm sure this has been asked before, but has anyone dabbled in a test with their own vehicles to see if there is actually an advantage with the uber-expensive stuff, mpg...

Re: things are looking up
That's brilliant news. You'll be back in a '3 soon enough...all this petrol malarkey should be over by then! Have toyed with the idea of getting a '4 but, given that it will not be limited in numbers, and tbh a little too big for my needs, I think I'll pass. Out of interest, did you or the dealershi...

Re: Bearings...
Have driven up the A1 today....and FFS, I think the steering wheel alignment is skew...funny how that's happened after the dealership had it for a bearing change.
A call on Monday, I think...

Re: My rs3 lasted 15 mins
I had mine for 7 weeks and I'm so pleased to be back in a TTRS, the interior creaked like hell and there was all kings of weird noises would come from the engine bay on start up, which aren't present on all 3 of the TTRS I've owned.. Certainly not Audis finest hour.. I know exactly what you mean. I...

I recently noticed a faint hum-like sound coming from the RS3. Not engine hum...a very distinct, different noise... Resonating in nature and increasing in pitch as the speed increased. Only speeds above 32 mph though, it was fine below that. Didn't matter if the 'box was in manual mode, drive or "S"...

Hi At work just now and need to vent my frustration.....

Re: The little things
Hi, I have no frame of reference when it comes to xenon lighting, as my previous cars have had standard headlights. The only point of referral I have is being blinded by oncoming drivers who have xenons. I have to agree with Dave that the xenons are disappoining. I have the adaptave xenons so I have...
