S Tronic fault means its time to sell.

[Noyjatat]

Sorry to say I am tapping out with the the RS5 after a few niggles and an expensive cat change, I now have one of the dreaded S tronic faults. I have really enjoyed owning the car something I wouldn't have thought coming from the B7 RS4 and feel it was a step in the right direction. I will be very sad to see it go.

Sorry to hear thar Gaz. You have another car in mind yet?

[Noyjatat]

A 1k banger for now buddy. I feel a deposit saving scheme may be in order as I have been away from a saloon for too long and I have 'buy a new car' on my bucket list so I think I will put some cash to one side and wait for the RS3 saloon.

A 1k banger for now buddy

Tis the way forward - still loving my B5 snotbox!

I've been waiting / looking forward to the rs3 saloon for a while. He facelift photos from an american press do made it look awful but I'm still hoping we get it in the uk and it looks like I expect it to.

Agreed buddy although the lads that attended the Vag Tuner event this year said that was even better. One for your calendar next year.

I couldn't do it. Got it in my head what I was going to do, reinforced it with posts on the forum, drove to the garage, sat in the chair, went through everything, looked outside and couldn't pull the trigger and put her down

Sad news mate on the car and the issues. I will miss our little drags at Inters
The new RS3 Saloon looks tempting though - lots of potential for tuning
