End of Term Report - TTRS-C S-Tronic (to Skye & back)
Re: End of Term Report - TTRS-C S-Tronic (to Skye & back)
From the Audi UK website:
"Press for action
Add to the thrill of driving your TT RS with the Sport button. Pressing it sharpens the throttle response, alters the exhaust valve control.- opening the left exhaust bank lower in the rev range and, where fitted, turns the Sports mode on for the Audi Magnetic Ride system.
The result is an even more exhilarating driving experience. Even at low speeds the smooth, deep rumble is enough to turn heads and at high revs you can hear the charismatic five-cylinder engine in all its glory."
Apologies for the thread-jack! Essentially I agree with your write up!!

And it is quite gay.
No - ESP and traction were both on. Shocking.

I've come across this once before in an A3 Cab. The hood of the Cab IS quiet, however the mic just wasn't taking out the background noise.aka_dk wrote:another thing, and not just the RS

CraigyB came and fitted a newer model Mic which improved it...
I wonder whether this would help? It doesn't matter if the car is going back, but just saying...

Funny you should say that
Missus had an A3 cab last summer. I borrowed it on a sunny wkend to drive to Manchester, roof down¤ so I'm on the M6 toll doing a good speed, roof down, then my mate calls me. He could hear everything I was saying albiet I had to shout abit!
The TT is <beep>. Its the same on my missus' '61 plate Black Edition, it is quite literally USELESS

Sounds like your a real fan.
Re: End of Term Report - TTRS-C S-Tronic (to Skye & back)
so the car was 3.5months old and did 7,000 miles
front tyres 5mm
rear tyre 7mm
normal due to front engine ... or highlighting the FWD haldex bias ?

Re: End of Term Report - TTRS-C S-Tronic (to Skye & back)
...or weight distribution over turning wheels but I like your reasoning waaaay better. Question: which tyres would be well worn on a 'true' quattro car over the same period / mileage? I'm pretty sure my rears wear out before my fronts.
No matter where you go, there you are.
Re: End of Term Report - TTRS-C S-Tronic (to Skye & back)
funny you should say the Mr Bam ... as i have my vehicle conditon report from my first B8 S4 ....
that one had 9,323 miles ( c.3 months old)
fronts 5mm
rears 6mm
more even wear, despite a heavier 3.0, 6 cylinder lump upfront

Re: End of Term Report - TTRS-C S-Tronic (to Skye & back)
Yep, rears on mine seem to be wearing faster.

Re: End of Term Report - TTRS-C S-Tronic (to Skye & back)
Well to be fair the fronts had more tread when I bought it (approx 7000 miles ago). I noticed this on the last service sheet which I recently dug out for reference with the next service due. Strangely the left rear is now noticeably more worn than the left right. High speed late night roundabouts in MK possibly?

Re: End of Term Report - TTRS-C S-Tronic (to Skye & back)
You're almost certainly more in the know than me DK when it comes to all things Audi, but I have a TTRS brochure at home which I'm fairly sure says that Audi Mag Ride is an option if you opt for the 18" or 19" alloys, but is not available if you go for the 20" wheels. IIRC it also gives it as an option on the configurator on the website...?aka_dk wrote:some at Audi UK needs a kick then as you cant get Mag Rid in the TTRS
