2016 Audi RS3

[Waitey]

But can you do 180 on a cold Kent night?

Well the top speed for a de limited one is listed at 176, so no I can't....

 

[Philip.]

It passed 166 on Elivington before I bottled it.

Pussy.

Should have bought a Golf iirc.

 

[Waitey]

Should have bought a Golf iirc.

When I was doing 166, I was passed by a GTD with a tail wind and some granny driving it to the shops.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Bet she was throughly moisturised when she seen you pass at a buck sixty six, though.

 

[Waitey]

6400 miles in. 10 weeks old.

MPG up to 34.8 average.

It is genuinely filthy though. Goes like f**k now!

 

[alistairolsen]

I'm still blank amazed by the economy, I know its utterly not the point of the car, but just wow.

Similar state externally to mine, just no point washing them at this time of year!

I know. Go in a 400bhp 4WD car from a few years ago and you'd see low 20's. If I do 70 this will do low 40's!

 

[alistairolsen]

Well I guess it's natural predecessor in many ways is really the B7 S/RS4 in that theyre both small estates of similar weight and power and yes, you'll struggle to get 25 out of one of those in any circumstances. Even disregarding the 400bhp aspect, I doubt youd see 35mpg out of any petrol A4

 

[cat171]

I missed this when you got it, what a bloody beast!! :hearteyes:

 

[Paprika123]

What's it's rpm @70/80?

 

[Waitey]

What's it's rpm @70/80?

I have no idea.

80 in the F type in 8th is 1800rpm.

I'll tell you once I'm home!

 

[Stay Puft]

8 gears wtf!

This is a brilliant car, might even stretch to using the word 'epic' which I hate and cringe at.

 

[Waitey]

I have no idea.

80 in the F type in 8th is 1800rpm.

I'll tell you once I'm home!

70 = 2050rpm in 7th
80 = 2300rpm in 7th

 

[Ian_182]

That's proper cruising gearing, bloody hell my civic is doing 4000 at 80mph in 6th lol.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Tank. Tasteful spec

 

[Gally]

Awesome. Dirtier the better. Still hate the wheels. And the silver rear trim.

Weapon.

 

[RDH]

I want one so bad it hurts.

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

Better MPG than a 172 (which is pretty good for a hot hatch).

 

[Paprika123]

70 = 2050rpm in 7th
80 = 2300rpm in 7th

Ace cheers.

 

[leeds_182]

Nice.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Apparently jealousy doesn't suit me.

I still maintain the previous gen RS3 is better looking, and i really can't put my finger on why.

 

[alistairolsen]

Found one of these on the road tonight. Ridiculous!

 

[Waitey]

Not ideal, two police cars and a recovery truck later...

 

[Addicted]

Oh s**t what happened?

And LOL at your MPG, I average 25. WTAF.

Lost all power, locked its self into park and refused to start on a by pass.

Call Audi assist, who then called the police, fun fun. They wanted to take it back to Leicester (2 hours away). I said no, so it's currently on my drive waiting for an Audi RS specialist to come out to it.

 

[Budgie]

Wheelspinning in 6th?

Ah nice, that's the only prob with these 4wd drive systems, insta-lock on errors! How'd they get it on the truck, would it still roll? Or dragged onto the bed?

 

[clio007]

Wow thats a complete bummer. Any lights on the dash?

My brothers has had his mag ride fixed by Audi back in Feb and now it's knocking like a complete b**ch over bumps.

 

[Waitey]

I pulled the power to the gearbox, which lets you pull it into neutral so it can be moved.

No lights at all on the dash.

My mag ride knocks, all of them knock, even the RS6 and the new R8. So I just left it.

 

[clio007]

Yeh I heard some knocking is normal. This sounds like some other issue as its alot more serious. The suspension light came on previously, hence why it originally went in for repair

 

[Cookie]

Oof, that sucks. At least its under warranty! I guess you'll have to slum it in the Jag for now

You'd think that wouldn't you.....

Jag = No MOT
Mini = No Tax

Arse.

 

[Addicted]

No Tax is 5min to sort, No MOT isn't.

Thought u were #baller?

Well.....

The tyres for the Jags MOT are in the Audi....

The Mini isn't even insured atm.

 

[alistairolsen]

Proper harsh being left high and dry by a brand new car, but I am laughing at the fact you're always max baller, you have more car finance on your drive than some people's houses and not one of them is roadworthy!

 

[MarkCup]

As failures go, this is pretty hard.

 

[Rob]

Are they part worns sir??

 

[Rubicon_]

Love these!

@Paprika123 can you find us a good deal?

Turns out fuel pump has died. Audi are sending a truck out to collect the RS3.

In the mean time I'm slumming it in this:
